Flashbang Grenade (Hardmode)
Back To Main Page The Flashbang is a non-lethal stunning explosive grenade available to purchase from the start of the game.
A non-lethal tool intended, don't be fooled by its description as the flashbang is functionally equivalent to a explosive taser or stun rod. Intended as a alternative way to stun and capture a live alien from range.
While its stun ability is less effective than multiple close range jabs from a stun rod, or a taser, the strength of the flashbang is its a long range stunning tool that is by far the safest way for a soldier to attempt to subdue an alien. Be wary that multiple flashbang grenades will be needed, and very strong aliens may need to be wounded beforehand to enchance the capturing odds.
Eventually succeeded in effectiveness by the researchable Stun Grenade.
