Frag Grenade

The Frag Grenade is the foundational explosive equipment in Marathon, delivering reliable area-of-effect damage against both AI enemies and rival runners. Its detonation radius punishes grouped opponents and can forcibly displace runners from cover when thrown into tight spaces, creating openings for follow-up aggression. Every runner class benefits from carrying Frag Grenades as a general-purpose tool, though high-aggression builds that close distance quickly get the most value from their burst damage potential.

Frags are best thrown to cut off repositioning routes or flush enemies from doorways and corners. In squad engagements, landing a Frag Grenade into a clustered group can break the entire team's momentum in a single throw. This equipment sits comfortably in the A-tier and remains a top pick for players who want straightforward, high-impact offensive options without relying on any specific status mechanic.
