Throwing a grenade in Fallout 4 is a crucial combat tactic that allows players to deal significant damage to enemies and clear out areas effectively. To throw a grenade, players must first equip it by selecting it in their inventory and assigning it to a hotkey. Once equipped, players can throw the grenade by holding down the assigned hotkey and releasing it to launch the grenade. The grenade will then fly in an arc towards the target, exploding on impact or after a short delay.
Grenades are particularly effective against groups of enemies or heavily armored targets. They can also be used to flush out enemies from cover or to create distractions. Different types of grenades have different effects, such as fragmentation grenades for general-purpose damage, plasma grenades for energy damage, and cryo grenades for freezing enemies. Players can experiment with different grenade types to find the most effective ones for their playstyle and combat situations.
