๐ก Source 2 HE Mechanics:An HE grenade has a base damage of 98 and a blast radius of 350 units. Against Kevlar armor, armor absorbs ~40% of the blastโmeaning the maximum single HE grenade damage on an armored opponent is 57 HP (or 59 HP if the grenade physically bounces off their body first).
๐ CS2 HE Grenade & Molotov Math Explained
In Counter-Strike 2, High Explosive grenades calculate damage linearly from the center of detonation out to 350 units. Even a tiny vertical step or ledge between the grenade and the player's feet can block line-of-sight rays and slash damage in half.
Meanwhile, Molotovs and CT Incendiary grenades completely bypass Kevlar armor. Fire damage ramps up from 1 damage per tick in the first second up to 8 damage per tick (40 DPS), killing a 100 HP armored player in roughly 3.3 seconds.
