They’re Coming to your Grenade
Nigh on every first person shooter of the modern era has offered players the same holy trinity of combat options: guns, grenades and melee. Unsurprisingly, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is no different. However it doesn’t just give you normal explosive grenades to play with. You’ve got a whole host of options to play with, don’t ignore the choices afforded to you.
The standard staples of Stun and Frag grenades are of course still there but they are joined by some friends. First among these new buddies is the threat grenade. If you’ve spent any time in the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare single player you’ll have found yourself using these to paint nearby enemy targets with a fragmented red glow. This glow enables you to track them much more easily and prepare a strike wherever they may roam. Following up behind it is the EMP grenade which disables enemy equipment (i.e remote turrets and Goliath suits) while also hindering movement for a few seconds as their Exo Suits have to reboot.
What really changes these up is that the ones which are not Frag grenades can be manually detonated with a double-tap of Square/X to ensure your intended target gets a precise face-full of whatever you dare to throw at them. A final third option is actually a conglomerate of the Threat, Stun, and EMP grenades. You can cycle through these to choose the best option for any situation. Unlike their more focused counterparts though, these cannot be manually detonated.
