HE Grenade in CS2: How It Plays
The HE deals up to 98 damage to an unarmored target at the epicentre, but armor cuts that dramatically — against a kevlar-wearing opponent a perfect HE deals around 57, which is why solo HEs soften rather than kill. Damage radiates outward and passes through thin surfaces, making it excellent for clearing known camp spots, punishing default plant positions, and finishing enemies your rifle already tagged.
The classic team play is the HE stack: two or three grenades thrown on the same timing into a choke or site position multiply into lethal damage even through armor. On anti-eco rounds a single well-placed HE into a grouped unarmored rush can take two or three players below half health before the first bullet flies.
