MIRV Grenade (Borderlands)



A MIRV Grenade is a fuse-based grenade that has been equipped with a MIRV Grenade Mod. When MIRV Grenades explode they throw out several more grenades. MIRV grenades are manufactured by Torgue.

Usage and Description
Similar to Bouncing Betty grenades, after its fuse has expired, MIRV grenades throw out several small, round sub-munitions, or bomblets, that deal explosive or elemental damage. MIRV bomblets are gravity-based and are scattered about a large radius to detonate after X seconds. The bomblets bounce off of surfaces and enemies alike, settling down for X time before exploding, making MIRVs excellent for inflicting damage across any area, be it open or enclosed. If a MIRV is thrown at a wall it will impact the surface, fall to the ground, and wait for its fuse to run out to release its bomblets.
