So I was wondering what it did. I was watching the role call video (for like the 11th time), it seems like it slows down enemies and blinds them. But it looks as if it kind of blinds thunder too. Are the effects lessened if you’re farther away? I’d just like an in-depth explanation about how it works.
THUNDER HYPE! But what does the concussion grenade do?

Kinda late, but oh well. The concussion grenade acts like an EMP for enemy deployables, temporarily disabling them to be safely taken out (or in for proxy mines, to run away and shoot from afar). Moreover, the grenade can be cooked like Fragger’s grenades, blinding enemy players accompanied by a ringing noise. Along with that, the concussion grenade may also be able to temporarily decrease the player’s mouse sensitivity, making it harder to aim. Not too sure about that, but looking from the footage of the sawbones and the animation of players holding their arms to their eyes, it seems to more or less make it harder to aim weapons. On the downside, looks like Thunder only gets one concussion grenade, though it has a quick seventeen second recharge. So yeah, pair up with Stoker or Fragger and go to town on people camping healing stations.
