Starfield Mastery: Unlock the Ultimate Grenade Arsenal and Dominate the Galaxy!

In Starfield's combat scenarios, utilizing blades, bullets, and bolts of laser fire can be exciting. However, there are times when the most effective approach is to strategically employ grenades, even multiple ones if necessary. It's also enjoyable to obliterate targets, and players who prefer explosive tactics have an array of captivating options.

Starfield offers a diverse range of grenades in various shapes and sizes. These explosives excel at their primary purpose: causing spectacular destruction. This guide will outline where to acquire these throwable items and provide recommendations on their optimal usage during combat.

How to Get (And Use) Grenades

In the early stages of the game, grenades can be hard to come by. They can usually be found on defeated enemies, storage containers, or simply lying around in the game world. Additionally, gun stores like Centaurian Arsenal in New Atlantis may stock grenades in the Throwables section.

Players have a total of five grenade types to choose from: Fragmentation, Incendiary, Shrapnel, Impact, and Particle. Frag Grenades are the most commonly encountered variant, although the other types may become more prevalent as the game progresses.

To throw a grenade, players need to equip one. Access the inventory screen and navigate to the Throwables section. From there, choose a preferred grenade or explosive mine. Once equipped, press the G key on the keyboard or the RB button for Xbox controllers to initiate the throw. Keep in mind that the distance a grenade can be thrown is influenced by the local gravity, with Zero-G environments yielding the longest range. This factor is important to remember when engaging in combat on planets like Akila, where the gravitational force is stronger than usual.

The Demolitions skill significantly enhances the efficiency of grenades. In addition to increasing the damage they cause, this skill expands the blast radius and reduces any potential self-inflicted damage. By investing a sufficient number of points in Demolitions, players can double the impact of these bonuses.

For players seeking to amplify the level of explosions, utilizing a grenade launcher may be advisable. The Ashta Tamer, obtainable within the Shaw Gang's cave while undertaking the Empty Nest primary storyline quest, can be found enclosed within a weapon case along the path leading to the buried relic. This formidable armament operates by employing 40mm grenades, with an impressive capacity to accommodate up to four of them simultaneously.

Starfield is currently accessible on PC and Xbox Series X/S.
