Cluster Grenade — Detailed Guide
A grenade that breaks into fragments
The Cluster Grenade is a throwable explosive in ARK: Survival Evolved that came with the Scorched Earth expansion. Its in-game text is short: "Splits in several explosive fragments." The ARK Wiki fills in the detail: after the first blast, the grenade throws out 6 shards of explosive shrapnel, spreading its damage over a larger area than a single explosion.
Throwing it safely
The wider spread also raises the risk of hitting your own tribemates or friendly creatures, so check where they are before you throw. The fragments always fly out at right angles to the surface the grenade lands on. Thrown straight up, the falling pieces go off just before they reach the ground, which spreads damage widely around the thrower.
Engram and recipe
The engram unlocks at level 80 for 8 engram points, and the wiki lists the 
Grenade as its prerequisite. The grenade is crafted in a Fabricator or a 
Tek Replicator; the ARK Wiki gives this recipe:
- 65
Gunpowder - 35
Metal Ingot or 
Scrap Metal Ingot - 25
Crystal or 
Primal Crystal - 25
Propellant - 20
Cementing Paste or 
Achatina Paste - 15
Polymer, 
Organic Polymer, or 
Corrupted Nodule
Crafting takes 5 seconds and gives 11.35 XP.
Weight, maps and loot
Each grenade weighs 0.55 and they stack to 100. The wiki lists it on Fjordur, Lost Island, Crystal Isles, Valguero, Ragnarok, Genesis: Part 2 and Scorched Earth. Our records count 49 crate types that can contain it, for example the Mission 'Bulbdog Fetch' Easy crate on Genesis Part 2.
