The MFC grenade is a powerful improvised weapon, created by converting three microfusion cells into a thrown explosive device. It has a wide blast radius and similar visual effects to a plasma grenade.
Crafting
This weapon can only be created by choosing the Mad Bomber perk. It can either be directly crafted, or the player character can gain up to six by recovering the individual mines of an MFC cluster. It cannot be found on enemies or in containers.
¹ Craftable without a workbench via a dialogue option with Veronica, or with ED-E once the add-on Lonesome Road is installed.
Notes
It has a wide blast radius and similar visual effects to a plasma grenade.
The blast radius is wider than a standard frag grenade. It also is slower to throw in V.A.T.S.
It is the least expensive craftable weapon in the game. Requiring only 3 microfusion cells to create, valued at 9 caps total, whereas in return the grenade itself has a value of 15 caps, 6 caps more than what it costs to create it.
Despite microfusion cells having no weight outside of hardcore mode, the MFC grenade weighs half a pound.
