How to Use Grenades in Arc Raiders

To use grenades and explosives, players must drag them into the loadout before going to the topside. After crafting the explosive items, collecting them from a looting cache or ARCs, or purchasing them from Apollo, you can keep them in your loadout. To use the grenades, open your bag by pressing the inventory button and equip them. Now hold the fire button and throw it in a desired direction to use grenades in Arc Raiders.

You can also skip opening the bag every time. To do that, drag the grenades and explosives to your quick use slot. During a raid, hold the ‘Q‘ button and select the throwable explosive item. Now hold the fire button to cook the grenade, and leave the button to throw it in Arc Raiders. After a small duration, the grenade will detonate.

That ends the list of all Arc Raiders grenades and explosives. Are you more of a throwable raider, or do the Arc Raiders weapons are enough for you to wipe the lobbies? Let us know in the comments.
