Mugnade

Mugnade is a makeshift, throwable fragmentation grenade-class item used as an improvised explosive. It appears in the game as a single-use thrown weapon that inflicts area-of-effect shrapnel damage when it detonates. The item is visually represented in media showing it used to kill a Peccary, confirming its role as a lethal anti-creature and crowd-control tool.

Behavior descriptions differ across sources. The English "Uses" entry describes Mugnade as functioning like a regular thrown explosive, detonating after a short delay. By contrast, multiple localized item descriptions (German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Portuguese-BR, Russian, Simplified and Traditional Chinese) characterize it as a throwable fragmentation grenade that explodes on impact. Both behaviors are documented: the item is explicitly described as either an impact-detonated or a delay-detonated thrown fragmentation grenade depending on the source/version.

Practical notes and interactions:

• Deployment: Mugnade is thrown to deliver explosive fragmentation to a target area; aim and timing matter because sources indicate either instant impact detonation or a brief fuse-like delay.
• Effect: The grenade causes shrapnel/fragmentation damage in an area around the explosion, making it effective against grouped enemies or small to medium fauna.
• Use cases: Ideal for quickly disabling or killing hostile animals (e.g., Peccaries) and for breaking enemy formations or soft cover that groups rely on.
• Caution: The area-of-effect nature implies a risk of friendly fire and environmental damage; keep distance from allies and avoid throwing into confined spaces where the player or companions might be caught in the blast.
• Handling: Mugnade is described across locales as an improvised or makeshift device; handle as a one-time consumable rather than a reusable equipment piece.

Because in-game documentation and localized descriptions disagree on whether Mugnade detonates on impact or after a delay, players should confirm the behavior in their current game version and use caution until its detonation mode is observed.
