Description

A variant on the Frag Grenade, this weapon does equivalent damage over a much larger area but the projectiles cannot damage cover. Thus units in cover related to the center of the blast area will be unaffected.

Increased blast radius compared to standard frag grenade
Like frag grenade gives 3 base explosive damage to units in radius
Units in cover relative to center of blast radius will not take damage

Source: XCOM: Enemy Within DLC

Notes

Research Required	Chryssalid Autopsy
Base Costs	§40 5 Alloys 2 Chryssalid Corpses 7 Engineers
Abilities/Stats	See Description

The blast will not destroy cover or terrain.
- So, feel free to fling these around inside a UFO without worry of destroying precious Power Sources or Nav Computers.
The blast radius is about 2 to 2.5 times the size of a normal grenade, and about the same size or slightly larger than a Danger Zone rocket.
Think carefully about producing these. Chryssalid corpses are fairly rare and difficult to acquire, and also necessary for Chitin Plating.
