The Sticky Grenade XL is a sticky explosive weapon variant used by the Infiltrator class in Tribes: Ascend. It can be unlocked for 160 Gold or 18000 XP.
"Sticky grenades deal a massive amount of damage to armored targets such as base turrets, generators, and vehicles. This version has been modified for a wider damage spread." In-Game Description
Operation[]
The XL Version acts just like the sticky grenades, flying in an arc when thrown and sticking into enemies and terrain and exploding after a short delay. These grenades do explosive damage meaning they are good against base defenses.
Tactics[]
Always use these like the normal Sticky Grenades, but do keep in mind that the XL variant has a massive explosion radius. Throw one and shake a leg, because getting blown apart by your own grenade is not fun. This can be countered by using the Egocentric perk. Combining these with Safety Third perk, you will have a thousand damage grenade that hurts or kills anyone inside a small to medium-large room, meaning they are perfect for clearing out choke-points and defenses. As with the normal Sticky Grenades you can have a total of 5 of these, meaning no room or defense is any trouble to you. Overall better for killing enemies than defenses.
