| − | Time to feast on pineapples. Yum, yum. Quake 1's grenades hurt just as much as rockets, which make them very effective weapons. It's really fun to fill a whole room with these babies and watch innocent passers-by get blown to tiny little chunks when they explode.

| − | If there is a rocket launcher in the level and you have a good weapon other than the grenade launcher, the grenade launcher not a good choice. If you actually have a rocket launcher, it's just a plain stupid choice. It uses up precious rockets and it's hard to hurt players without also hurting yourself. Now, an exception to this rule is when you want to use them to scare people away - if you plant grenades in the floor while someone is chasing you, they're probably not going to try to follow you. If they do, you'll get a frag. This works best on stairs, because on a staircase the grenades will stick wherever you set them. If want to use the launcher for standard combat, remember that the grenades bounce a lot and travel far, so they are actually pretty easy to control. Bouncing them off the floor into players, or offering to play your own little game of "catch" (i.e., let them have it), will do a lot of damage because the grenades will hit them directly. Just watch out for that splash damage.

| − | It's actually kind of easy to avoid grenades. If you're too close, you can't really see the things coming, so there's not much you can do except get far away. And, if you're far enough away, all you have to do is run backwards and fire off whatever you have.
