The Holy Frag Grenade is a unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics[]

Compared to the standard frag grenade, the Holy Frag Grenade does significantly more damage, both direct and explosive, while costing the same amount of AP and having a higher caps value. Conversely, it does not require an Explosives skill of any level unlike the standard variant's 25, and it is not considered a holdout weapon unlike the standard variant.

Visually, it resembles a standard frag grenade with the exception of a white cross painted on the side.

Location[]

The weapon has a finite supply of only 3 in the game and they do not respawn. They are located in the basement of the church in the eastern part of Camp Searchlight, guarded by two golden geckos. It will only be available to those with the Wild Wasteland trait. Without the trait, there will be two mini nukes instead. If one did not originally choose the Wild Wasteland trait, but switched to it using the Sink Auto-Doc in Old World Blues before taking the mini nukes, then the Holy Frag Grenades can still be obtained.

Notes[]

  • Characters with the Loose Cannon trait may be unable to escape the blast, even if thrown at the furthest possible distance. This becomes particularly problematic when combined with the Splash Damage perk.
  • When thrown, the grenade no longer has the white cross on it and looks like a normal frag grenade.
  • Due to the grenade's high damage, if one is not killed in the blast, their armor may break or become so damaged its DT is negligible.
  • The blast radius will turn any passive creature that survives the blast hostile, even with the Animal Friend perk.
  • When taking into account reload times, it has the highest DPS of any explosive weapon.

  • PCPC In the first seconds after loading the game and the Courier had the Holy Frag Grenade equipped, the blast of the Holy Frag Grenade may not do any damage to the Courier, followers or NPCs, but there will be radiation on the place where the Holy Frag Grenade exploded. Damage from hitting the person will also be taken into account.[verified]
