Sounds

The Plasma Grenade is a craftable post-Moon Lord bomb. When used, the bomb is affected by gravity after a short time. When it collides with a surface or enemy, it explodes, dealing damage within the area.

Performing a stealth strike with the Plasma Grenade causes the resulting explosion to be larger and strike twice.

The weapon consumes 0.25 units of charge per use and has a maximum charge of 250. As such, the weapon can be used continuously from full charge 1000 times, or for 7 minutes and 13 seconds.

Its best modifier is Flawless.

Crafting

Recipe

The Plasma Grenade cannot be crafted until the Encrypted Schematic from the Ice Bio-center Lab is decrypted. If the requirement has not been met, two lines of tooltip are added at the bottom of the item:
You don't have sufficient knowledge to create this yet
The Ice biome schematic must be deciphered first

Notes

  • The Plasma Grenade's explosion only deals 80% damage to XM-05 Thanatos.
