Shock Grenade is a power in both InFamous and InFamous 2.

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 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.

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 hell down from buildings, a welcome upgrade from trying to skewer hiding enemies with lightning bolt. Grenades should be thrown at clusters of enemies or spammed at tougher foes. Good Cole will have fun binding all the poor enemies, while Evil Cole will have more shock value with 2 Cores = 7 Grenades.

Upgrades

Boonm

Cole using Shock Grenade in inFamous.

Good Karma

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 disadvantagous, 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).
