HE Grenade

The explosive grenade that damages everyone in its blast.

The HE (High Explosive) Grenade is a throwable grenade in the Counter-Strike series, available to both teams. After being thrown, it detonates after a short fuse, creating a small, loud explosion and dealing instantaneous damage to enemies in an area, which drops as their distance to the grenade increases. The explosion can also destroy air vents, windows and destructible doors. In Counter-Strike 2 the explosion can make smoke clouds dissipate temporarily, giving vision through them.
