Mostly the same mechanics of the Frag Grenade, with one obvious exception: if you manage to stick it right on an alien, it will attach to it for maximum damage (and hilarious ragdoll effects). If you're lucky, it may even panic and run for cover--- next to other aliens. When targeting, a small sphere will appear at the end of the targeting trajectory; get that right on an alien to land it properly (it will jump up onto the alien's body).

As most aliens are quite nimble when alert, this is most easily done for either large enemies, unaware enemies that're staying still, or enemies locked in place with Lift.

Aliens commonly use this grenade, especially on harder difficulties. You can often hear them say (something like) "Granood!" when they prepare to toss one. If you manage to kill the alien (or stagger them with a headshot), they might drop the activated grenade, causing any nearby aliens to scatter.

It can be first accuired on the Axis mission, near the door into the Outsider facility.
