Uses of grenades in Star Wars Outlaws

Grenades can be used to defeat enemies, as they direct a lot of damage towards enemies when used correctly. It is advisable to use grenades on tough opponents, on a group of enemies clustered together, and even on enemies who have shields defending them. Depending on the health capacity of the enemy, the grenade might stun the enemy or might directly eliminate them.

Kay's grenade-carrying capacity can also be increased by wearing outfits that offer more storage capacity for grenades, or by replenishing the stock at outposts. Additionally, enemies might also drop grenades upon being eliminated, though the chance of encountering such enemies is not always high. This makes the grenade very useful in-game.
