Beancan Grenade
An unreliable explosive grenade. Each one has a different length fuse, so you might lose some fingers. Can be used to make satchel charges.
The Beancan Grenade is a thrown explosive in Rust. It deals 115 damage (50 blunt, 50 stab and 15 explosion) within 4.5 m when its fuse of 3.5 to 4 seconds runs out. You craft it at a Level 1 Workbench, and its blueprint costs 40 scrap to research.
About the Beancan Grenade
From full health, breaking a door takes 6 for the Wooden Door, 18 for the Sheet Metal Door, 42 for the Garage Door and 69 for the Armored Door. For a wall, the count is 13 at Wood, 46 at Stone, 112 at Sheet Metal and 223 at Armored. Those counts leave out duds, which add 18% more throws on average. Broken down to raw materials, one costs 120 sulfur, which puts a stone wall at 5,520 sulfur.
Its fuse is not reliable: 15% of throws burn for only 1.2 to 1.3 seconds, and another 13% for 10.5 to 12 seconds. A dud can be picked up and thrown again. The blast only hurts what it has a clear line to, so solid cover between you and it keeps you out of harm. It leaves your hand at up to 13 m/s.
On the tech tree it sits behind 13 other unlocks: Revolver, Pistol Bullet, Flare, Waterpipe Shotgun, Salvaged Cleaver, Mace and 7 more. In all, 26 loot sources drop it; the full list of where it drops gives the chance for each.
Beancan Grenade damage, fuse and blast radius
Anything within 1.5 m of the blast takes the full damage, which fades to nothing at 4.5 m. 15% of them fizzle into a dud instead of going off when the fuse runs out.
