Resistance 3 Walkthrough Primer Guide

Grenades

Shrapnel

The Shrapnel grenade is used by Survivors, Wardens, and can be unlocked for Customs. It is a basic grenade that detonates after a few seconds. It is handy for taking out groups, especially during Chain Reaction games. It takes some timing so that you don't toss the frag too late or too soon. Overall it should be your default grenade for most match types.

Hedgehog

The Hedgehog is used by Infected and can be unlocked for Customs at level 6. It sets down a Chimeran mine that explodes when an enemy approaches. The Hedgehog is great for defensive fights, such as protecting objectives. However, in open areas, most enemies shouldn't be foolish enough to walk on a mine. Even if the trap is triggered, enemies can avoid some of the damage by moving away quickly.

Smoke Grenade

The Smoke Grenade is used by Specters and can be unlocked for Custom load outs at level 10. The blast of Smokes conceal the area and allow you to get the jump on enemies. Good for when you want to make an escape or set up an ambush.

EMP Grenade

The EMP Grenade is gained at level 25. It disables devices such as shields and turrets. It also prevents the enemy from using their abilities and attributes for a short time.

Molotov

The Molotov can be bought at level 30. It sets fire to an area or enemy for a short amount of time, dealing continues damage as the flames burn both flesh and environment. The Molotov is both a great means of damage as well as deterring enemies from advancing.
