The Frag is one of two explosive grenades in Ravenfield, the other being the Spearhead. It is one of the first explosives, added in Beta 1.

Combat
The Frag has a large blast radius and is deadly towards less tightly packed groups. The Frag gets its name from 'Fragmentation Grenade' in real life, which blasts out fragments across the field which injures, maims, and otherwise kills enemies. The player can hold one at a time and has one in reserve, however, you can have the Frag in 3 slots in the loadout menu, giving you six grenades to use.

The Frag is best used to clear out large amounts of NPCs, particularly against strategic positions such as flags or MG nests. Its unpredictable arc and bounce, however, renders it less useful against individuals and small groups.

The Frag takes 10-12 direct hits to blow up a tank, which is more than can be carried. It is thus not recommended to use Frags against tanks, unless the tank is stationary and heavily damaged already.

The Frag is actually terrible against vehicles, taking over 5 grenades to destroy a Jeep and 3-4 Frags to destroy a Quadbike, however, the explosion is enough to kill everyone in a Jeep or Quadbike. Grenades do not hurt the occupants of a tank.

When dealing with grenades, make sure to keep an eye out, as they are small and hard to see. If you see one, immediately run away.

Weaknesses
Throwing the Frag at a wall or accidentally hitting a wall could cause the grenade to bounce right back at you, injuring or even killing you. They can not be thrown very far, and have a slow detonation time. It's lack of effectiveness against vehicles meant that they should be saved against the infantry.

Trivia
