F1 Grenade
A reliable military grenade that can be thrown a short distance. Deadly at close range on detonation.
The F1 Grenade is a thrown explosive in Rust. It deals 225 damage (100 blunt, 75 bullet and 50 anti-vehicle) within 6 m when its fuse of 2.5 seconds runs out. You craft it at a Level 2 Workbench, and its blueprint costs 40 scrap to research.
About the F1 Grenade
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 8 other unlocks: Semi-Automatic Pistol, Homemade Landmine, Pump Shotgun, 12 Gauge Buckshot, Metal Shield, Salvaged Icepick and 2 more. Only one vendor sells it: the Black Market for 8 scrap. In all, 36 loot sources drop it; the full list of where it drops gives the chance for each.
