Concussion Grenade

The LXR-6 Concussion Grenade or Concussion Grenade is a unique type of cylindrical grenade used by every faction in Star Wars Battlefront 1. Only the soldier classes come equipped with Concussion Grenades. They are: B-1 Battle Droid, Clone Trooper, Rebel Soldier, and the Stormtrooper.

Description
In Battlefront 1, this grenade is a yellow-colored adhesive grenade, made for causing damage to vehicles and turrets. This type of grenade only induces a small amount of damage towards enemy infantry because of its fairly small blast radius. It is very usefull against turrets, because the detonation of the concussion grenade burns a hole through the armor plating and destroys the turret instantly. The Concussion Grenade is also useful against Droidekas, as it damages their shields more than regular blaster fire. Still, it hasn't the power to do alot of damage against large vehicles such as AT-ATs and AT-TEs. Better weapons for destroying a tank would be missile launchers, other tanks, or starfighters.

The Concussion Grenade is not featured in SWBF2.

Trivia

 * Even though the icon of the concussion grenade shows it to be cylindrical, when thrown it is actually spherical.
 * Concussion Grenades adhere to vehicles and turrets, but not infantry.
