MIRV Grenade

The MIRV Grenade is a cluster grenade that was added in the "" event on October 18, 2018. It is one of three event items that have remained after their end, alongside the BAR M1918 and M1100, and is the only grenade so far to do so. On detonating, it will release six smaller explosives that each do slightly less damage (75) than the initial explosion. It appears as a red, pill shaped grenade. It spawns from Airdrops, Barrel Cache and Grenade Crates. It is the rarest grenade and takes up more space than Frag or Smoke Grenades.

Strategies

 * Like Frag Grenades, they are extremely effective in smoke, as no one can see the grenade and its smaller secondary explosives.
 * If you're playing in Duos or Squads, It can be used to completely finish an enemy group, with the first explosion downing them, the the second killing them.
 * They can be cooked like Frag Grenades, so the player should cook it for three to four seconds before throwing it to kill further away targets.
 * The MIRV is very useful for forcing your enemies to move out of a building or indestructible cover, and making them run into your line of sight, letting you shoot them. It can also clear out houses very effectively.
 * The MIRV is also great against enemies that go into shacks or other small destructible buildings for cover, as the first explosion will destroy their cover while the secondary ones will finish them off.

Counters

 * Similar to the frag grenade, just running around will help you counter MIRV users due to how hard it is to throw a grenade at a moving target.
 * If an enemy starts cooking one, get up real close so that if they release it the grenade will be thrown beyond you, and you can finish them off quickly with a CQC weapon. Works with regular grenades as well.
 * Be careful when backpedaling from a thrown MIRV, as the secondary grenades will reach even further than the primary explosive when timed right.

Trivia

 * MIRV stands for Multiple Independently targetable Reentry Vehicle, which is a type of intercontinental nuclear missile carrying several independent warheads.
 * The MIRV grenade is a reference to the Fragmentation grenade MIRV from Fallout 4.
 * The smaller explosives from the MIRV have the same explosion sound as the frag rounds from the USAS-12.
 * Its the third grenade to be added in the game, and the first to be added in an event
 * It is one of the first weapons that was added in an event and stayed afterwards, along with the BAR M1918. Both weapons were added in the Into the Woods update.
 * If an MIRV explodes instantly when it hits the ground, the smaller explosives will be shot out in the same direction and velocity as the first grenade.Screen Shot 2018-10-19 at 3.06.25 PM.png
