Magna-Blast Grenade
General Information
The Magna Blast Grenade is a basic standard issue grenade.
The Magna Blast Grenade is an unusual grenade that can be thrown underwater as if it were on land. Through highly convoluted explanations and other scientific explanations that boggle the mind, its behaviour is akin to how Ion Beam Accelerators allow USOs to completely ignores any form of resistance and simply glides through the water.
The Magna Blast is the prototype for all the grenades and thrown explosives that are used by X-Com. Also new to X-Com grenades are tougher protective casings that allow grenades to be invulnerable to explosions.
As a throwback to the first alien war, all grenades also come with a timer and a safety handle for controlled detonation.
This weapon appears in Terror from the Deep. For the UFO: Enemy Unknown equivalent, refer to the Grenade.
