“A magnetically sealed plasma delivery unit, with detonating explosives. Creates a blast of superheated plasma on contact.”— Fallout 2 In-game description
Plasma grenades are weapons in Fallout and Fallout 2.
Characteristics
Plasma grenades are very rare but powerful thrown explosives. When detonated, a small explosive in the grenade ruptures the magnetic seal containing a charge of superheated plasma energy.
It is not recommended to use them against advanced power armor as it can absorb around 50-80% damage. However, just about everyone and everything else has a low plasma resistance, making this grenade type the most useful late to end game.
