Changes: Shock Grenade

Revision as of 06:56, 8 January 2020

For the grenades in the second game, see Grenades.

Shock Grenade was an explosive power utilized by Cole MacGrath in Infamous. It was first discovered in the mission "High Ground".

Usage

It is a small explosive ball of electricity that can stick to people and other objects. It is made by charging up a small unit of electricity to critical mass, thus creating an explosion. It uses up two battery cores. It is also possible to use this move in conjunction with Shockwave, as the latter can push Shock Grenades further.

Kessler also possesses this ability, though he uses the grenades like mines, as they only explode when the target gets close enough for them to cause damage.

Upgrades

Good karma

The Guardian rank upgrade increases the amount of time that someone stays on the ground after being hit by a Shock Grenade. The Champion rank upgrade allows Cole to increase both the damage and blast radius of the Shock Grenade when it explodes. The Hero rank upgrade further increases the damage caused by the Shock Grenade, as well as automatically performing Arc Restraint on knocked-down enemies, providing Cole with both the good karma and experience that comes with Arc Restraint. Also, the Arc Restraint will activate even if the opponent is dead, and it will still provide a "Live Capture" bonus, along with the "Elimination" bonus. However, it is possible to gain evil karma, as the Arc Restraint will also effect citizens that are knocked down by the Shock Grenade.

Evil karma

The Thug rank upgrade increases the amount of Shock Grenades that Cole throws by two, for a total of three Shock Grenades thrown. The Outlaw rank upgrade further increases the amount of Shock Grenades that Cole throws, bringing the total thrown to five. The Infamous rank further increases the amount of Shock Grenades thrown, bringing the total amount of thrown Shock Grenades to seven.

-==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 electricity 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 [[Cole]]'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]].

-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 welcome upgrade from trying to shock hiding enemies with the [[Lightning Bolt]]. Grenades should be thrown at clusters of enemies or spammed at tougher foes. Good Cole has the ability to bind enemies, while Evil Cole will have more shock value with grenades that split into multiple ones.

-===Good Karma===
+[[Category:Powers in Infamous]]
-With [[Good Karma]], Cole 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 disadvantageous, seeing as restraining civilians gives you bad Karma), making it a mostly non-lethal explosive.

-===Evil Karma===
-With [[Evil Karma]], Cole'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 just wreaking havoc on the innocent civilians of the city.
-==Trivia==
-*When using Hero Level rank, the Arc Restraint will activate even if the opponent is dead, and still give you a Live Capture Bonus along with the Elimination Bonus.
-*It is possible to push Shock Grenades further using Shockwave
-*On the Infamous 2 main page pre-order bonus list, there is a power called the electrocution grenade that electrocutes enemies nearby before exploding with a stronger blast force and larger blast radius.
-*There are other variations of the shock grenade in [[inFamous 2]] such as Alpha Grenades (standard grenades like in [[inFamous]]), Sticky Grenades (Basically alpha grenades that stick to people and surfaces), and Double Grenades (Alpha Grenades that split in two upon landing).
