The alien grenade is pretty much the ultimate grenade in the game, combining power with light weight and small size. It is the second most powerful grenade in the game next to the High Explosive but is much more convenient with its smaller size and weight, making heavy firepower the standard of all troopers instead of only a few soldiers carrying the high explosive. However, the increased firepower comes with an increased price-tag, with a single alien grenade being able to buy 49.5 standard grenades or 9.9 high explosives when sold.
Scrounge enough of these from the battlefield and you shouldn't have to manufacture any, unless your tactics always involve grenades and big explosions.
This weapon appears in UFO: Enemy Unknown. For the Terror from the Deep equivalent, refer to the Sonic Pulser.
