Grenades can be carried by any class, but Grenadiers particularly excel with them, because they can launch them with extended range with their Grenade Launchers. Grenadiers also have an extra equipment slot that can only be used for a grenade.

Flashbangs are particularly useful against special enemies such as psionics. The disorientation effect prevents the use of most special abilities, including psionics, and will cut short any ongoing psionic effect such as Reanimate or Mind Control. Avatars and the Warlock are immune to Flashbangs, but can still be frozen.
