=== Overview ===
[[file:mov_l_smokegrenade.gif|right]]
The Smoke Grenade is a tactical grenade that creates a cloud of smoke upon detonation. This enables [[Builds#Light Build|Light Builds]] to affect the battlefield in a variety of ways, such as blocking lines of sight, covering retreats, obscuring enemy teams, and creating chaos.  
The [[Smoke Grenade]] is a [[Light]], [[Medium]] and [[Heavy]] class thrown gadget that creates a cloud of smoke to block vision in an area.
 
=== Uses & Interactions ===
== Usage ==
Smoke Grenades, or smoke from the canisters around the map, can put out fires in their effective radius. This can be useful to clear flame from an active objective or vital chokepoint. Refer to: [[Gameplay#Gameplay Tips|How to Use Smoke Grenades]].
 
The Smoke Grenade can be selected as one of three [[Gadgets|gadgets]] for any loadout.
 
Holding the primary trigger will prepare a high-velocity overhand throw. Holding the secondary trigger will prepare a low-velocity underhand throw. While preparing a throw, the gadget's trajectory is indicated up to the point where it bounces off a surface. Swapping to a different item will cancel the throw. Releasing the trigger throws the gadget.

=== Effects ===
The Smoke Grenade can be deployed by throwing it. The first time it impacts on a surface or contestant, it bounces away. On its second impact, it triggers to create a cloud of smoke that blocks vision in the area.
