“	A standard smoke grenade designed for concealing allied movement or screening the enemy’s vision.	„
	— In-game description

The PT-815 Smoke Grenade is a non-lethal grenade that creates a smoke cloud that obscures the vision of players and garrisoned structures.

Uses

Specifications

It is thrown by hand to a maximum range of 20 meters or launched from grenade launchers. It always detonates 4 seconds after being thrown.

Upon detonation, it creates a smoke cloud in a 3 meter radius that lasts for 20 seconds.

Players outside the smoke cloud cannot see infantry that are in the cloud or behind it. The players in the smoke cloud cannot see people outside it, they can't even see other players that are in the same cloud unless they are right next to them. Unlike bushes, movement within smoke does not break concealment

Tripods, Emplacements, and Field Weapons are also obscured by smoke except to players that are less than 10m away.

However the smoke cloud doesn't blind garrisoned defenses but only reduces their maximum range, fire rate, accuracy, and time to acquire a target.

As the grenade is able to obscure vision of players and fortifications, it helps attackers in an advance. Beware as the smoke also blocks allies' view, and could help the enemy counterattack by spraying down the smoked area or advance through it.

Usage

To throw the grenade:

1. Hold down RMB. The grenade's trajectory becomes visible.
2. Press LMB to throw it.

After the throw, if a grenade of the same type exists in the backpack, it will automatically be equipped.

Alternatively it can be launched from certain grenade launchers for a longer range.

Trivia

• The Smoke Grenade currently appears to be based on the American M18 Smoke Grenade
• Originally, Smoke disabled AI, meaning AI could not target you for the entire duration of the smoke
  • This led to smoke becoming an extremely powerful tool, eventually causing it to be temporarily removed from the game
