The Blaze Grenade is a tactical area-denial tool in ARC Raiders. Instead of relying on burst damage, it creates a burning zone that steadily drains health over time. Used well, it can control movement, block choke points, and force enemies out of cover without rushing them.
What the Blaze Grenade Does
The Blaze Grenade detonates on impact and spreads fire across a wide area. Any enemy caught inside takes continuous damage until they leave the flames or the effect ends.
Key characteristics
- Impact-detonated grenade
- Creates a fire zone that deals damage over time
- Best for area control rather than quick eliminations
- Effective in tight spaces and against grouped enemies
This makes it especially useful when enemies are holding angles or retreating through narrow paths.
Stats Overview
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Rarity | Rare |
| Use Type | Quick Use |
| Weight | 0.2 |
| Stack Size | 5 |
| Damage | 5 per second |
| Duration | 10 seconds |
| Radius | 10 meters |
| Sell Price | 1,600 Coins |
These numbers show why the Blaze Grenade is about pressure, not instant damage. Ten seconds of fire over a large radius is long enough to reshape a fight.
How to Get Blaze Grenades
There are two main ways to obtain Blaze Grenades:
1. Scavenging During Raids
Blaze Grenades can appear in loot containers and caches while exploring raid zones. There is no fixed spawn point, so consistent looting and clearing high-value areas improves your chances.
2. Crafting Your Own
Crafting is the more reliable option once you unlock the blueprint.
Crafting requirements
| Ingredients | Crafting Station | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1× Explosive Compound 2× Oil | Explosives Station (Level 3) Blaze Grenade Blueprint required | 1× Blaze Grenade |
Crafting lets you restock between raids without depending on random drops.
For players who prefer to skip long farming sessions, some choose to buy Arc Raiders items at U4N instead. U4N works as a player-to-player marketplace, where items like Blaze Grenades are offered by verified sellers with clear listings and delivery details. Many experienced players use it as a practical option when they want to stay prepared for raids without relying entirely on random drops or extended crafting cycles.
Recycling and Salvaging
If inventory space is tight, Blaze Grenades can be broken down for materials.
| Method | Materials Gained |
|---|---|
| Recycling | 2× Oil 4× Metal Parts |
| Salvaging | 1× Oil |
Recycling is usually more efficient if you need crafting materials later.
When to Use Blaze Grenades
Blaze Grenades work best in situations where movement control matters more than raw damage:
- Blocking doorways and stairwells
- Forcing enemies out of cover
- Delaying pushes while repositioning
- Creating pressure during team fights
They are less effective in wide open areas where enemies can easily move away from the fire.
Tips
- Throw Blaze Grenades slightly ahead of enemy movement paths, not directly at their feet
- Combine with other explosives to punish enemies forced out of cover
- Use them defensively to slow down pursuers rather than chasing kills
Used patiently, the Blaze Grenade gives you time and space, which often matters more than damage numbers.
