Sticky Grenade is a grenade power available exclusively to Infiltrators in Mass Effect 3. The Infiltrator throws a grenade that sticks to the target, damaging it and any nearby enemies upon explosion.

Grenade powers do not have a recharge time and, thus, can be used immediately at any time, provided grenades are available. Using the power consumes 1 grenade each time.

Player Notes Edit

• When thrown the grenade will not deactivate the Infiltrator's Tactical Cloak, allowing the Infiltrator to get in close, to ensure the grenade hits its target, and get out, without being seen. This is especially useful against enemies such as the Atlas Mech.
• Taking the Proximity Trap evolution in Rank 6 turns the Sticky Grenade into a highly effective proximity mine (potentially more damaging than the actual Proximity Mine), although it is only temporary (15 seconds max). However, using all four in a choke point can take out or severely weaken a large group of enemies.
• Using Ammo Powers (at least in multiplayer) endows Sticky Grenades with same properties - potentially useful for crowd control and tech/fire combos.
• Sticky Grenades are especially useful against Atlas mechs and Brutes as they have a hard time dodging. Sticky Grenades combined with Tactical Cloak makes Brutes very easy to deal with.
• Usage against Banshees can prove problematic due to their tall appearance. Unexpected moves like their scream makes it even harder to place one upon it.
• Using them against Praetorians could result in a waste of the grenade: Due to their delay until explosion there's a fair chance that the Praetorian puts his barrier up - almost negating all its damage. To prevent this it is highly advised to place a grenade after a few seconds of the barrier up or right after dropping it.
