Holy Frag Grenade

The Holy Frag Grenade is a unique thrown explosive in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
In appearance they look similar to a normal frag grenade, with the exception of a white cross painted on the side. When detonated, rather than a normal frag grenade explosion, Holy Frag Grenades explode in a manner similar to a nuclear explosion.

Variants

 * Frag grenade - the common variant of fragmentation grenade in the Mojave Wasteland.

Locations

 * The only three Holy Frag Grenades are located in the basement of the church in the eastern part of Camp Searchlight, guarded by two golden geckos. It will only be available to those with the Wild Wasteland trait. If not, one will find two mini nukes in the location instead. If one did not originally choose the Wild Wasteland trait, but switched to it using the Sink Auto-Doc in Old World Blues before taking the mini nukes, then the Holy Frag Grenades can still be obtained.

Behind the scenes

 * The Holy Frag Grenade is a reference to the "Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch" which was featured in cult classic comedy film Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The writing on the box next to the grenades is also a reference to a line in the film.
 * The Holy Hand Grenade was meant to appear in Fallout 2, with a un-implemented special encounter built around the grenade that had further references to the film.

Bugs

 * If dropped, the Holy Frag Grenade may be stuck where it is dropped. While they can be picked back up, the player cannot freely position them for display.
 * In the first seconds after loading the game and the Courier had the Holy Frag Grenade equipped, the blast of the Holy Frag Grenade may not do any damage to the Courier, followers or NPCs, but there will be radiation on the place where the Holy Frag Grenade exploded. Damage from hitting the person will also be taken in account.
