All except smokes very often. By rarity:

  1. Packs
  2. WP
  3. Molotov
  4. Frag

I see constant spam of wp, whatever the side. Molotovs are very common too.

Next is det pack, but that’s when I drive a tank mostly.

Last is, surprisingly, frags. Even thought they work great to clear rooms. Ppl don’t use them much…

Edit: nobody uses smoke ever, exept me and some very, very rare unicorns.

Explosiv pack
Why: i have so many packs, since 1st season of enlisted (and cbt), so, it’s hard change all squads to a grenade

Offense

  1. Packs are a common sight
  2. Frags are less common but not uncommon
  3. Usually when I see offense use molotovs it’s to block defense from the objective, which also means I’ve seen offense block their own team with molotovs.
  4. In my experience I haven’t seen WP as much as molotovs on offense.

Defense

  1. Very common
  2. Common
  3. Molotovs are more useful for defense since they don’t need to sit on camp or plant for bomb mission, so very common
  4. Like with molotovs WP is more useful for the defending team since it’s purpose is area denial

I think Packs are more common then frags in both cases since packs are an ‘all-purpose’ grenade, you can use packs on tanks and infantry, frags are only good against infantry, so I’d say frags might be used either because the player doesn’t have packs or they don’t realize packs are all-purpose.

See all of them all the time except smoke - hardly ever.

  • How often do you see explosive packs utilized?
    -Nearly every match against vehicles, sometimes against troops.
  • How often do you see frag grenades utilized?
    -~1/6 of matches, typically I only use them when I have a reason to like the battle pass.
  • How often do you see molotovs utilized?
    -1/3, they are easier to notice, but overall effectiveness I cannot say.
  • How often do you see white phosphorus?
    -Only when the enemy team is all gold will you see them used.
  • How often do you see smoke grenades utilized?
    -There are smoke grenades? Having only one grenade slot causes most to not use them.
    …
  • How often do you see grenades being spammed through the usage of grenade pouches?
    -Almost exactly never, people mostly spam grenade launchers instead as they are cheaper.

Thinking about it… gonna make a shared grenade pool suggestion real quick.

have said this previously, but smoke grenades need a huge improvement, so they can be worthwhile using more often and have a regular place on the battlefield

even a little bit of a score reward attached to anyone killed in the smoke vicinity would make them more viable

but yes, since the gas grenades were introduced they are the most prominent, followed by the molotovs, then regular grenades and then explosive packs, last are the smokes. If the player has end game AT, then they often stop using explosive packs

But what determines their application is the playerbase

Some players spam only one thing, others mix and mash, others only have access to a certain level etc…

But players that have access to phosphorus can sometimes over spam them, which is why nerfing them was not the right decision, what needed to happen was to limit them to 2 per squad

Some matches when you have 3-4 guys spamming the objective non stop is literally making the match unplayable and players are just trading nade spam and then eventually one team wins and the others leave the match

it’s just sad

especially when one team has them, and the other doesn’t, that is especially nasty
