Grenades

Grenades are a type of ammunition that serve as ammo for grenade launchers, but not for the RB-45 Hand Grenades that appear in Serious Sam 2.

Overview[]

Grenades are an item pickup that supply ammo for the GP-25 Kostyor, MK III Grenade Launcher, MK IV Grenade Launcher, and MadDog Grenade Launcher. The amount of rounds grenades give when picked up depends on the game and (in some cases) the difficulty setting. In all games except for Serious Sam 2, Serious Sam: Double D, and Serious Sam: Double D: XXL, each box gives out 5 rounds. On other difficulties, it gives twice the amount. In Serious Sam 4, this amount was reduced to 4.

There is another grenade pickup that supplies 4 grenades when picked up for the shotgun grenade launcher, the GP-25, in Serious Sam 4.

Appearances[]

Grenades are fairly frequent throughout the series, though they are not as common as rockets. They mostly appear before a big fight or in "break" rooms to give the player enough ammo to resupply after a fight. Grenades usually appear along with their respective weapon as well.

Behind the scenes[]

In Test 1, the grenade's model can be found in the game's files, but cannot be picked up. It uses the same model, but the box is wood brown and there are four oval shapes on it. The grenades were used for the scrapped Pipebomb as it also might have been supposed to be in the other level for testing. But the files are cut or locked because they had cut the level from Test 1 several months before the release.
