The tin grenade is an explosive weapon added with the Fallout: New Vegas add-on, Gun Runners' Arsenal.

Characteristics[]

The tin grenade is an improvised weapon, assembled from scrap items into a thrown explosive device. A tin can is used for both the casing and for shrapnel, pistol powder for the explosive and duct tape to hold it all together.

Compared to a frag grenade, the tin grenade is 20% less damaging and has a 15% smaller blast radius (at 36 feet[1]), but requires no skill to use effectively. It can also be constructed from very common components, so it is arguably more common than any other grenade, especially frags.

Crafting[]

ComponentsRequirementsProducts
1 Tin grenade (Mad Bomber)
Note: this item is also craftable via a dialogue option with Veronica, or ED-E (with the Lonesome Road add-on).

Location[]

Other than being crafted by the player; it cannot be found anywhere else in the Mojave Wasteland.

Bugs[]

  • PCIcon pc PlayStation 3Icon ps3 Xbox 360Icon xbox360 The tin grenade's equip type is 'Mine', so it displays the mine icon within the Pip-Boy hotkey menu instead of the grenade icon.
  • PCIcon pc PlayStation 3Icon ps3 Xbox 360Icon xbox360 Tin grenades are only classified as a standard holdout weapon: they are not added to the list of advanced holdout weapons, so if you have a Sneak skill over 50, you will not be able to bring the weapon into holdout areas. This same bug also affects the Li'l Devil, MFC grenade, and Nuka-grenade.
