What's a Cooked Grenade in MW3?

  • A cooked grenade is when you use a frag grenade but hold onto it for a bit after pulling the pin.
  • Holding it longer makes the grenade explode faster once you throw it.
  • If you don't cook it, your enemy might have time to escape the blast. Cooking it for a second or two means they have less time to get away.
  • Be careful: If you hold it too long, it'll explode in your hand!
  • You can only cook Frag Grenades and Thermobaric Grenades in the game.
  • Tactical equipment like Stun Grenades and Flash Grenades can't be cooked as they have a fixed time before exploding.

Differences in Cooking Time

  • There's no perfect time to cook a grenade. It depends on how far your target is and the situation. Sometimes you need a longer delay, and other times you want it to explode quickly.

How to Get Kills with Cooked Grenades in MW3

  • To do this, choose the frag grenade and hold the button to use a lethal grenade. Your character will pull the pin, and your crosshair will flash every second.
  • The grenade has a three-second fuse. Time your throw with each pulse.
  • You can use a UAV to find where enemies are, then throw the grenades.
  • Timing your throw towards the end of the fuse gives enemies no time to dodge.
  • Using the Demolition Vest gives you two frag grenades instead of one, and they recharge after a while.
  • In game modes like Demolition or Hardpoint, wait for enemies to start capturing a point, then cook and throw a grenade at them.
