Note they do not stick to energy doors, [[Bubble Shields]], [[Deployable Cover]], or [[Jackal]] Gauntlet Shields, (along with some [[Brute Chieftain]] armor) and will simply bounce off. After a short delay, it will detonate into a conical blast of spikes (amidst red-blue roiling gas and spikes), perpendicular to the surface it sticks to, similar in functionality to the [[Wikipedia:Claymore mine|Claymore Mine]]. It has a definite kill radius of 1 meter, or just about anything standing in the direct line of spikes fired from it, and a casualty radius of 4 meters. Because of its concentrated barrage of spikes it is less powerful than most grenades in some aspects. The spikes ricochet off of hard surfaces in confined quarters, making the spike grenade especially useful in CQB situations. The heated spikes that shoot out can kill an opponent whether or not they were near the original explosion. It is a great weapon to set up quick traps with, especially while being pursued. It can be tossed at a wall directly ahead, and then as you round a corner the blast will shoot out and kill whoever was following. The projected spikes can travel between 1 meter and 10 meters in the direction they were projected. The spike grenade will kill most opponents and vehicles when it sticks to them but an opponant can survive the barrage a spikes if he is far enough away.. | ||

It has been observed that Spike Grenades are able to stick onto other grenades that have been thrown. This usually carries the two grenades in either direction, depending on which was thrown last. The combined explosion is obviously much greater and much more erratic, as well as much more fun to watch. | It has been observed that Spike Grenades are able to stick onto other grenades that have been thrown.

Like other grenade types, players can only carry two of these grenades. This is to help with balance issues. Spike Grenades are related to the [[Spiker]], as the Spiker shoots what seem to be similar spikes to that of the Spike Grenades spikes, and was developed by the [[Brutes]]. | Like other grenade types, players can only carry two of these types of grenades.

This weapon is very effective at stopping or slowing down an escaping or following opponent. Simply throw the grenade at a wall in front of the enemy. If the opponent isn't smart enough to stop they are essentialy mowed down by a hail of spikes. Use this in an enclosed area for deadly results. It can also be used against vehicles as it does more damage than the plasma and frag grenade, it can destroy any vehicle if stuck properly. | This weapon is very effective at stopping or slowing down an escaping or following opponent.
