Snapshot Grenade — Tactical specifications

Snapshot Grenade at a glance

The Snapshot Grenade is a Tactical item whose description promises a momentary glimpse of enemies in the immediate area for the team. Its role is information gathering rather than a documented source of explosive damage. Heartbeat Sensor is the other Tactical entry in the database, described as a battery-powered location tablet. Snapshot’s source specifically mentions team information, which is the clearest documented distinction between the two.

Specifications

These fields are transcribed from Snapshot_Grenade.txt in the supplied weapon database. Not stated means the record supplies no value; it does not mean zero or confirmed unavailability.

In-game description

Provides a momentary glimpse of enemies within the immediate area for your team

Momentary describes a temporary glimpse without providing a duration. Immediate area gives no measured radius. For your team is an explicit audience for the information, but the description does not explain the display, transmission delay or whether a teammate must be close to see it. The word grenade in the name does not establish damage, a fuse, wall penetration or a particular throwing mechanic. All of those would require details beyond this short marketing description.

How it fits the class

Heartbeat Sensor’s description centres on a battery-powered tablet displaying locations; Snapshot Grenade’s centres on a brief team glimpse. That gives a useful role comparison without assuming the sensor is continuous or the grenade detects a wider area. Neither entry has timings or a documented countermeasure list.

Compared with Zip Gun, Snapshot is classified as Tactical rather than Lethal. Zip Gun explicitly describes taking out nearby targets, whereas Snapshot describes revealing them. If the goal is to gather information before an engagement, Snapshot’s wording addresses that purpose. It does not show that a revealed target remains visible, takes additional damage, or cannot conceal itself afterward.

The team’s useful decision is what to do with the glimpse: check the indicated area, communicate a contact, or reconsider an approach. Those are uses of information rather than additional grenade effects. Since the source calls the glimpse momentary, avoid treating that observation as a continuously updated enemy position. The page can support coordinating attention around a contact without promising that the grenade clears an area or wins the subsequent engagement.

Ammo and supply

Ammo type is Not stated. The record does not connect Snapshot Grenade to Heavy, Light or Sniper Ammo and does not supply a carried quantity. The information role gives no evidence about replenishment. A pickup count, equipment charge, replacement grenade or automatic refill must be documented separately before it can support a supply recommendation.

For a scavenging decision, identify the item itself rather than treating an ammunition pickup as a confirmed refill. The equipment list gives context for carried tools, and the equipment mechanics page covers wider systems. Neither source gives Snapshot-specific inventory limits or guarantees availability in every mode, so those remain open details.

Magazine options

Base magazine and magazine attachment capacities are Not stated. They should not be replaced with an assumed grenade count. The source describes the effect of the item, not how many uses are carried or whether uses replenish. Keeping those fields explicit avoids turning a missing inventory rule into a fabricated capacity.

The relevant future capacity questions concern carried quantity and replacement, rather than an extended firearm magazine. Even if a mode later shows equipment charges, that would need a mode-specific record. This page cannot infer charges from the grenade’s name, the word momentary, or the behaviour of a similarly named item in a previous title.

Gunsmith attachment slots

The firearm Gunsmith categories are Muzzle, Barrel, Laser, Optic, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Underbarrel, Ammunition and Apex. The presence of this Tactical item in the weapon database does not establish access to those slots. No attachment or upgrade is listed for Snapshot Grenade.

Read the Gunsmith overview for the distinction between a base firearm and a configured build. It does not provide a grenade upgrade path. A different reveal effect, additional charge or modified deployment would need its own equipment-specific source. Until then, team information is the documented role, and slot names should not be turned into invented enhancements to that role.

What is not measured yet

Source descriptions above remain attributed claims. With the game now released, verification still needs the patch version, mode and configuration so that later changes can be checked against the same conditions.

How to unlock it

Snapshot Grenade’s unlock requirement is Not stated. The firearm weapon-level and Blueprint systems do not identify a Tactical-equipment acquisition route. This record has no player level, challenge completion, mission reward or vendor requirement to reproduce.

The Inner Circuit pre-purchase Weapon Blueprint and five Vault Edition Signature Weapons are listed in the edition guide, but Snapshot Grenade is not named as one of those rewards. Neither edition ownership nor a firearm’s progression can therefore be presented as its unlock method. When an acquisition route is documented, it will need to identify the item, requirement and applicable mode together.
