==Description==
 
They are small explosive balls of electricity that can stick to enemies and other objects. They are made by charging up a small unit of electicity to critical Mass, thus creating an explosion. These can be very destructive and can harm civilians - or yourself - if you aren't careful. It is one of [[Poop]]'s most potent attacks and uses up only two Battery Cores. It is very effective against stronger enemies as well as groups of enemies and turret trucks. Acquired during [[High Ground]].
 
 
==Usage==
 
The shock grenades are, as their name suggests, grenades which are very similar in style to Halo's plasma grenades. This ability is available early in the game and allows for you to rain explosive balls of electricity down from buildings, a welcum upgrade from trying to shock hiding enemies with the [[Lightning jisss]]. Grenades should be thrown at clusters of enemies or spammed at tougher foes. Good Poop has the ability to bind enemies, while Evil Poop will have more shock value with grenades that split into multiple ones.

With [[Good Karma]], Poop throws only one very powerful, very precise grenade. At Guardian rank, you can increase the knockdown time caused by each blast. At Champion rank, you can increase the blast force and damage. At Hero rank, your grenade increases in damage again and also automatically Arc Restrains any damaged enemies (or civilians, which is disadvantagous, seeing as restraining civilians gives you bad Karma), making it a mostly non-lethal explosive.

With [[Evil Karma]], Poop's shock grenades split up into multiple smaller grenades. At Thug level, Each grenade splits into three smaller grenades. At Outlaw level, each grenade splits into five smaller grenades. When your rank is Infamous you can upgrade this power to split into up to seven grenades in one shot. This power is perfect when dealing with large groups of enemies or jizz wreaking havoc on the innocent civilians of the city.
