Nuka-Grenade

A Nuka grenade is a craftable grenade that does much more damage than a standard frag grenade.

Characteristics

 * When thrown, the grenade produces a high powered explosion bested only by the mini nuke and the bottlecap mine (with perks). Nuka grenades erupt into a blue fireball. Flames and radiation linger for a few seconds after the explosion.
 * Thrown grenades are affected by physics; they may bounce or roll unexpectedly if not thrown carefully. However, in game physics can also be used to your advantage; such as throwing grenades through doorways or bouncing them around corners to attack enemies who cannot see you.
 * Grenades can be targeted in V.A.T.S. and can thus be shot out of the air. Shooting them whilst they are still held by the enemy can detonate them as well. Grenades can be thrown point-blank in V.A.T.S due to the sharply reduced damage taken.
 * A grenade that has been thrown toward you will show up on your HUD as a red arrow denoting its direction relative to you. Move in the opposite direction as quickly as possible to escape the blast radius.
 * Holding the fire button down for a longer period of time will increase the strength of the throw. Grenades can be thrown for longer distances than normal through successful V.A.T.S. hits. Grenades cannot be cooked to detonate earlier.
 * It is also possible to plant a live grenade on an NPC by passing one from your inventory to the NPC's inventory via pickpocketing.
