Revision as of 14:56, 15 August 2019

The Mk 2 grenade, also known as a Frag grenade or the Pineapple grenade is the standard grenade used by the Allies in all World War II-based games.

Medal of Honor

The Mark II Fragmentation grenade appears in the original Medal of Honor. It is the default grenade for the player and has a powerful blast radius.

In Medal of Honor: Frontline, this grenade is referred to as the Mark II, and is a common grenade found in the levels Seaside Stowaway, Rough Landing, The Golden Lion, Yard by Yard, and Arnhem Knights. It deals a massive damage over enemy and suprisingly could even destroy a Panzer IV tank with direct impact of 3 to 5 grenade, making it a common explosive relatively used, similar to Bazooka.

Medal of Honor: Allied Assault

In Allied Assault and it's expansions, the Mark II grenade appears on all missions as a starter weapon that cannot be replenished. The grenade can be cooked for several seconds before throwing it. Also is the default grenade for Americans in multiplayer.

Medal of Honor: Infiltrator

Mark II is an additional weapon if the player has Thompson (which is the starting weapon on all missions) or BAR. It deals huge damage to the enemy if the grenade is exploded close to him, and knocks down if the explosion was close.

Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault

In Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault the Mark II is the standard issued grenade for the Marines. The Mark II has a distinctive yellow colour in-game which indicates that it is a live fragmentation grenade. During the boot camp mission the training variant of the Mark II can be used, but it has a dark green colour.

Medal of Honor: European Assault

The Mark II grenade returns in Medal of Honor: European Assault as one of the three grenades in game. The player gain access to them in the Battle of the Bulge campaign. It functions as the same as the Stielhandgranate.

Medal of Honor: Vanguard

In Vanguard the Mark II is the only grenade available for the player in the single player. It is also the default grenade for the allies in split-screen.

Medal of Honor: Heroes and Heroes 2

The Mark II returns in both games as the default grenade for the player. In both games it is one of the three starting weapons. The player always start with 2 Mark II grenades. It is also the default grenade for the allied soldiers in both games' multiplayer.

Medal of Honor: Airborne

In Medal of Honor: Airborne it is powerful, with a large lethality radius, and can be cooked and thrown by hand or launched from a Rifle Grenade Launcher. It is not as powerful as the Model 24 Stielhandgranate, doing 100 less damage, and has a smaller lethality radius, at 650 in-game units as opposed to the M24's 750.

German reactions to grenade throwing

German soldiers caught in the way of a grenade usually flee as soon as possible, while some may kick or throw it back at the player. Occasionally, a German soldier may fall on the grenade to save his friends, but is killed in the process.

Trivia
