Flash-bang grenades

"Flashbangs are ready!"

- Rangers receiving the upgrade

flashbang grenades were an upgrade developed at the USA Barracks for rangers.

Game effect
Once purchased, the flashbang grenades upgrade allows rangers to switch from using a rifle, to using flashbang grenades. They are highly effective against groups of infantry, and a single grenade can clear out a garrisoned building. However, flashbang grenades do not inflict any damage against vehicle or structures.

The Ranges in the flashbang mode have a slightly greater range yet slower firing rate compared to their standard machine-gun mode.
