REDACTION Grenade

REDACTION Grenade is a crafted throwable explosive that detonates after a short delay and generates a localized black hole. When it explodes it pulls in all players, enemies and nearby objects toward its center before the effect ends. The device carries a flavor description that its original stored information has long since been erased, implying the grenade itself is a hollowed or repurposed piece of equipment.

The grenade is only available through Crafting and cannot be found as a direct drop or purchase. Visual examples show it being used against crowds of enemies — including Plague and Armored Exor — against environmental objects such as furniture, and situations where non-hostile characters (a scientist) can be caught inside its range.

• Acquisition: craftable item; no alternate acquisition methods are listed.
• Primary effect: delayed explosion that creates a vacuum-like field which drags players, AI enemies and physical objects inward.
• Effective targets: groups of enemies and cluttered environments benefit most from the area-control behavior; named enemy types shown in media include Plague and Armored Exor.
• Tactical use: deploy to cluster multiple foes together and combine with area-of-effect damage or environmental hazards for maximum efficiency. Use to disrupt enemy formations and strip cover by pulling enemies away from fortifications or into kill zones.
• Environmental interactions: the black hole will pull in furniture and other movable objects, which can be used to clear or create obstacles; thrown at destructible scenery it can cause additional chaos by rearranging the battlefield.
• Friendly-fire and self-risk: the effect attracts players as well as enemies. Avoid deploying the grenade where allies or the player character will be pulled into the blast zone or into hazards created by dragged objects.
• Timing and placement: because the grenade detonates after a delay, anticipate enemy movement and place the throw so the vacuum activates where targets will be gathered rather than where they currently stand.
• Notable cautions: the device’s description emphasizes that any original data on it is gone, suggesting it is a salvaged or modified tool; there are no listed alternate behaviors or modes.

Use the REDACTION Grenade when you need reliable crowd control and battlefield manipulation, but plan throws carefully to prevent self-entrapment and to maximize the follow-up damage from allied abilities or environmental effects.
