The Incendiary Grenade is a Counter-Terrorist exclusive weapon in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive that costs $500. It serves as the CT counterpart to the Terrorist's Molotov.

Key Features:

• Creates a pool of fire that deals increasing damage from 1 to 8 per tick
• Deals 40 damage per second with 100% armor penetration
• Burns for exactly 7.03 seconds
• Can be extinguished by smoke grenades
• Explodes on surfaces less than 30 degrees from horizontal
• Bounces off steeper surfaces
• Dissipates if airborne for more than 2 seconds

Tactical Uses:

• Block choke points to disrupt enemy movement
• Deny access to important areas like bombsites
• Flush out enemies from camping positions
• Prevent bomb defusal when thrown on planted C4
• Create temporary defensive barriers

Counter-Strike 2 Changes:

• Smaller fire radius compared to the Molotov since the "Fire Sale" update
• Reduced area coverage while maintaining damage output

Tips:

• Multiple overlapping flames stack damage
• At least one-third of flames must be covered by smoke to extinguish
• Longer weapon switch time after throwing
• Can damage teammates and hostages
• Effective for both offensive and defensive strategies

The Incendiary Grenade uses a flammable liquid rather than white phosphorus, making it distinct from real-world military incendiary grenades. While similar to the Molotov, it provides Counter-Terrorists with a reliable area denial tool for both attack and defense scenarios.
