Notes

• Friendly targets in the blast area are affected.
• Drops from Mutons, Sectoid Commanders, Heavy Floaters and Muton Elites when stunned with Arc Thrower.
• Alien Grenades can be used as a more deadly alternative to Frag Grenades, but their number is limited to how many you acquired from the field.
• Alien Grenades do not have a research topic associated with them and can be used immediately when acquired.
• Using Alien Grenade on the mission does not "spend" it. Meaning, if you had 4 Alien Grenades, equipped one and used it in the field, when you will be back at the base, you will still have 4 Alien Grenades. The amount of Alien Grenades available in the stores should not actually be considered as your stock of grenades, but how many soldiers you can equip with grenades simultaneoncely.
• Once researched in the Foundry, Alien Grenades will become available in unlimited quantity. But since the grenade aren't spent, there is no much reason to take the upgrade.
