Sticky Grenade

Gel adhesion and targeted explosive detonation

Crafted by hand by combining 5 regular Grenade items with 1 Gel, Sticky Grenades eliminate the dangerous ricochets of standard explosives. Hurled at Very slow speed (45 use time), they stick firmly to whichever block or monster they contact first, exploding shortly thereafter to deliver 60 base ranged area damage and 8 knockback. Their adhesive quality ensures predictable explosive placement without bouncing into the thrower. This tactile grip enables tactical placements on ceilings or slopes that normal grenades would roll off.

Enclosed combat utility and boss efficiency

The absence of bouncing makes Sticky Grenades superior in tight underground caverns and narrow boss runways. Sticking them onto King Slime or along the hellbridge during Wall of Flesh combat guarantees direct area damage without worrying about erratic rebounds into player hitboxes. While requiring Gel per batch, the safety and precision justify the crafting cost. As consumable thrown items, Sticky Grenades cannot receive reforge prefixes.

Trivia

• Sticky Grenades adhere firmly to enemies and terrain, nullifying all rolling and bounce physics.
• Crafting them requires no specialized workstation, allowing instant assembly directly from player inventory.
