Similar to the numerous multiplayer shooter titles out there, Strinova also comes with plenty of weapons for you to use on the battlefield. Aside from each agent’s signature primary weapons, the game offers a few secondary options as well as enough throwable items to add an unpredictability factor to every match.
Bringing and using the right throwable item at crucial moments can turn the tables of the battle at any instant, but of course, some of these are much more effective in combat than others, making it important to know which ones are worthy of a place in your loadout slots.
8Slow Grenade
On paper, a grenade that hinders enemy movement and stops them from turning 2D sounds like it deserves a spot in your Strinova loadout. However, given the fast-paced nature of the game and the open spaces in which the majority of battles usually take place, it becomes a little difficult to ensure that the opponent actually gets into the grenade’s area of effect.
There are very specific situations in which you’re able to use the Slow Grenade effectively, and considering that it is unlocked at Level 14 and does not even do any damage, it is not a must-have on the battlefield.
attempt to use the Slow Grenade when you know for a fact that the enemy will have to move over it to get to you, which means tight spaces or narrow paths.
7Tattletale
You would think that a throwable item that is unlocked at Level 18 would have highly productive utility on the field, but unfortunately, there is not much that makes Tattletale an essential addition to your loadout. Sure, knowing exactly where the enemies are can be quite advantageous in battle, but the trade-off is the loud alarm that starts ringing once the item is activated, which makes it pretty easy for enemies to spot and destroy it before moving on like nothing happened.
Consider the Tattletale as more of a minor inconvenience for the opposing team than a gadget you will be constantly using, as it can only be used for scouting purposes without any kind of damage.
If you are struggling against players who use Bai Mo, Tattletale can prove quite helpful in locating and stopping him early in the match.
6Interceptor
Having a gadget that does exactly what its name suggests and intercepts incoming enemy attacks sounds great, but the Interceptor’s limited utility decreases its overall value in combat. When activated, if an opponent throws any kind of grenade at you, the Interceptor’s dome will act as a shield, but sadly, that is the only kind of attack that it counters.
The moment an enemy realizes that you have activated the gadget, perhaps by throwing and wasting a grenade, they can quickly take care of the problem by destroying the Interceptor with their weapon.
5Flashbang
Blinding your enemies during an intense Strinova battle can prove very useful, especially when you need to escape and regroup with the team while coming under heavy fire. This is how Flashbang can cause chaos on the battlefield by disorienting your opponents, giving you ample time to either strike back or rethink your strategy.
It provides a much-needed tactical advantage in tough scenarios, bringing enough range to the table to make it an effective throwable item, but aside from hindering the enemy’s sight, it does not cause them any harm.
4Windstorm Grenade
Easily one of the most useful throwable items in Strinova, the Windstorm Grenade comes with a lot of utility in more ways than one. For starters, if you are surrounded by multiple enemies, you can use it to make them float with a gust of wind and create an important window for yourself.
In other situations, the Windstorm Grenade comes in handy to get out of tricky situations, especially in closed environments where you are afraid of being ambushed by the enemy.
3Healing Grenade
Regardless of how prepared you are for a battle in Strinova, one thing that will most likely stay constant in every match is that you and your teammates will take damage from the enemy at some point. This is why having a couple of Healing Grenades in your loadout is never a bad idea, as the throwable item can quickly heal allies who touch the cloud generated by the gadget.
This is the one throwable item that is absolutely essential for you and your team to turn the tide of the match in your favor, because even three health points can be responsible for victory or defeat.
2Frag Grenade
Putting all the fancy gadgets in Strinova aside, sometimes you just need an old-fashioned throwable item to devour the opposing team, and the Frag Grenade serves exactly that purpose. It can prove to be quite destructive on the battlefield, dealing plenty of damage in a huge area of effect to make sure it hits as many enemies as possible.
You do not even need to worry about the Frag Grenade harming your teammates, as it has no impact on them, making it a throwable item that most definitely deserves to be on your loadout.
1Smoke Bomb
For a throwable item that gets unlocked at just Level 2, the Smoke Bomb is easily the best throwable item in Strinova because of the variety of ways in which it can be used on the battlefield. Primarily used for blocking the enemy’s vision with a thick cloud of smoke, the item gives you and your teammates ample time to complete any objectives that the opponents are not letting you achieve.
The Smoke Bomb can cause a lot of confusion for your enemies, and as they try to figure out where you and your allies are positioned, you may use the opportunity to attack them, heal your teammates, or escape deadly situations.
