The L2A2 Hand Grenade is a portable explosive that is featured in both IGI games.

Project IGI[]

In Project IGI, throwing distance of the hand grenade depends on how long the grenade is primed, but it explodes on a fixed timer upon tossing. It has a large radius of damage.

The in-game grenade model is dark brown-black.

IGI 2: Covert Strike[]

Employment range of hand grenade is short in IGI 2:Covert Strike. Effective casualty radius of hand grenade has also becomed small. However, they can now be primed to shorten time taken to explode, giving enemies less time to run away. In the game, maximum capacity of grenades is 3. They can be dropped like a normal item for picking up later.

The in-game grenade model is dark green with yellow colored markings.

Trivia[]

  • In the gameplay HUD of IGI 2, it is simply referred to as "Grenade". However, when picking it up, the message that appears labels it as "Hand Grenade" like the IGI 1 version.
  • The in-game grenade model in Project IGI has a blue lever. The blue color is used to mark a training weapon in American and European militaries.
  • The in-game model of grenade in IGI 2:Covert Strike resembles the ancient grenades, which were often made of glass or ceramics and were often used to set fire to enemy ships or buildings. This design would later be adopted by both Muslim and Chinese Armies who used them to great affect in their various wars. The Chinese adopted them to such an extent that they created a dedicated manual on the types of recipes that a soldier could use to make grenades in the field.
  • In IGI 2, the explosion of a grenade suppresses the noise caused by firing a weapon for a few seconds after the blast. It is unknown whether this actually causes the gun to be silenced or it is just an auditory effect.
