Common mistakes and how to avoid them
Pros and cons
Pros
- Smoke grenades create a thick visual barrier that lets you move or heal without being seen.
- In late‑game circles, smoke can hide your squad’s rotation into the safe zone.
- Molotovs leave a lingering flame that forces enemies out of cover and denies area.
- Pairing Molotovs with smoke lets you retreat safely while the fire continues to damage.
- Stun grenades flash and deafen enemies, giving you a brief window to shoot or escape.
Cons
- Smoke does not block sound, so you must stay quiet or risk being heard.
- Throwing smoke over your head blocks your own vision as much as the enemy’s.
- Using a Molotov in a confined space without smoke can reveal your position.
- Managing three grenade types requires inventory space and careful timing.

Questions, answered
Can I use a smoke grenade to block a sniper’s line of sight?
Yes, a well‑placed smoke can hide you from a sniper’s view, especially if you throw it between you and the likely sniper angle. It won’t stop the bullet, so stay behind cover while the smoke settles.
Does a stun grenade affect my teammates?
The flash and sound affect anyone looking at the explosion, including teammates, so coordinate its use and ensure your squad looks away or is already behind cover.
Do Molotovs work on vehicles?
Molotovs only ignite players and the ground; they do not set vehicles on fire, but the flame can still block entry points and force occupants to exit.
