Description

Grenade sniping is a tactic whereby players shoot grenades with a sniper rifle or Beam Rifle, causing them to explode prematurely.

Uses

  • If avoiding a grenade is not feasible, shooting the grenade will prevent it from damaging you.
  • It is possible, although extremely difficult, to damage an enemy vehicle with a fragmentation grenade by throwing it near the enemy vehicle and shooting it.
  • This strategy can help you in multiplayer to explode approaching grenades from a distance.

Trivia

  • This can be extremely hard to execute, due to the difficulty in shooting the grenade.
  • This is normally done with a Frag Grenade, since others are generally not solid enough for this trick. But any grenade can be sniped.
  • Spike grenades are the easiest grenades to snipe due to their size.
