A Victim Got Caught In The Blast Of The Shockwave.
1/6
The Shockwave Grenade is a Gadget introduced during the Earth Day Update. At the cost of 35 , you will get 15 grenades per purchase. What makes this grenade different from the others is that it sticks to any wall, floor or solid object and will explode instantly when it sticks to an enemy.
It looks like a big round version of the classic Hand Grenades, green and yellow in color, plus some holes that emits blue light. AtomDrome symbol can be seen on the top of it.
Strategy[]
Just like its cool-looking appearance, it is also powerful to use too! Use it like a grenade, but keep in mind that this Gadget does not bounce on floor and walls, instead it will stick to it. When thrown, you have two seconds to run from it to escape from the soon to come shockwave blast. The closer a player to the denser layer of the shockwave blast, the deadlier it is.
It is good against a camping player, as it shows no time like other grenades. They will only realize it when they got hit by the wave of shockwave emitted. Against a player that goes with Run And Gun tactic, it requires a lot of practice. Note!!! If you ever manage to directly throw it on opponent's body, it will explode on impact, thus killing him.
Overall, a deadly Gadget to use. Practices are important so each throw will count.
