HE Grenade: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:41, 21 February 2026

The HE Grenade (High Explosive Grenade) is a damage-dealing utility grenade available to both teams in Counter-Strike 2. It explodes on impact after a short fuse, dealing area-of-effect damage to all players in range.

Overview

At $300, the HE Grenade deals damage in an area around its detonation point. Damage ranges from 1 to 98 depending on the distance from the explosion and whether the target is wearing armor. While it cannot kill a full-health opponent on its own, stacking HE grenades with teammates can be devastating, and it is excellent for finishing off weakened opponents behind cover.

Statistics

Statistic	Value
Price	$300
Max Carry	1
Max Damage	~98 (unarmored, point blank)
Max Damage (armored)	~57
Damage Radius	~3.5 meters
Team	Both

Key Uses

Chip damage on grouped enemies before a push to weaken them for gunfights
Finishing off weakened opponents hiding behind cover
Stacking with teammates to deal massive combined damage (2-3 HEs at one spot can kill)
Anti-eco damage to weaken unarmored opponents significantly
Denying positions by throwing at common hiding spots at the start of a round

Tips

Coordinate HE grenades with teammates. Multiple HEs at one spot can deal 150+ combined damage.
HE grenades deal significantly less damage to armored targets (about 40% less).
Throw early in a round to chip damage before engagements begin.
Common stack spots include chokepoints where enemies group up (like Banana on Inferno).
HE grenades can damage through thin walls and objects.
At close range against unarmored opponents, a single HE can deal nearly 100 damage.
