Grenades can serve many uses in , but one special use is one many Helldivers do not think about. At first, most would think the purpose of grenades is to close Terminid Hives and Automaton Fabricators or quickly eliminate a small group of weak enemies. However, grenades can serve a multitude of purposes in beyond those, and learning when to use them with proper resupplying can make or break harder missions.

Currently, has five grenades available to players: the G-12 High Explosive, G-6 Frag, G-16 Impact, G-3 Smoke, and G-10 Incendiary. The first is given to all Helldivers when they begin, and the next three are earned through the regular Warbond or battlepass system, while the Incendiary is earned through the Premium Warbond track. Each grenade excels in different areas and has different stats. The Incendiary can set up a hazardous environment that could kill many more enemies in the long term, whereas the Impact kills weaker foes.

This is why more enemies will tend to be drawn to large-scale fights. In this case, the sound of the grenade lures the smaller enemies, while 's Charger turns its attention to the noise. As long as one stays prone and does not make noise, the enemies will not trigger.

Armors that give bonus grenade capacity are a great choice when
