This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- On Attack, try to hold onto atleast Fire Grenade, as they can be an excellent item to use in a post plant scenario. When used to their fullest potential, they can cover a planted Rift Point Device for a total of 12 seconds, almost 1/3rd of its detonation timer.
- On Defense, the Fire Grenade is great for closing an entry point for a short while or denying enemies from planting a Rift Point Device.
- While weaker in burst damage when compared to the Frag Grenade, the Fire Grenade is still a viable option for securing eliminations on damage enemies, hiding behind cover.
- Fire Grenades can be a great counter to Med-Mist Smoke Grenades, as the smoke cloud isn't able to effectively outheal the high damage per second of the fire pool.
