Learn about the Incendiary Grenade in Gears of War 3, its aiming mechanics, and how to avoid self-inflicted explosions.

The Incendiary Grenade in Gears of War 3 is similar to a Frag Grenade. Epic Games has provided an aiming sight (similar to an Arc sight) for accurate grenade throwing. You can throw it behind an enemy who is using cover (a defensive position behind an object) to catch them before they can escape the explosion. If you manage to melee an enemy with the grenade, it will explode after a few seconds, much like a Torque Bow.

Warning: Be careful not to kill yourself with the Incendiary Grenade, as it bounces and can easily detonate near you. Aiming upwards can cause the grenade to hit a ceiling and return to you, leading to self-inflicted damage.

Tips
  • Use the aiming sight for precise throws, especially against enemies using cover.
  • Be aware of the grenade's bounce; it can be dangerous if you are too close.
  • Avoid aiming directly at ceilings, as the grenade will ricochet back at you.
  • The grenade explodes after a few seconds, similar to a Torque Bow, and can be lethal if an enemy is caught in the blast radius.
