The G-4 Gas grenade is a tactical throwable that focuses less on raw lethality and more on controlling enemy behavior and disrupting pushes. Instead of instantly removing threats like high-damage explosives, the G-4 creates a lingering cloud of toxic gas that damages, confuses, and slows enemy response. For squads that rely on coordinated pushes, chokepoint defense, or stagger-and-clean tactics, this grenade can quietly carry a mission.

G-4 Gas Review & Build Guide – Best Uses and Strategies

G-4 Gas – Key Stats

Parameter	Value
Explosion Damage	3
Gas Damage	25 DPS (Damage Over Time)
Penetration	Anti-Tank II (core radius)
Outer Radius	7m
Fuse Time	2.9s
Traits	Caustic, Explosive
Max Carry	4 grenades
Unlock Source	Chemical Agents Premium Warbond – Page 1 (30 Medals)

Special Effects:

Applies Gas (DoT + minor disorientation)
Applies Gas Confusion (AI pathing disruption + blind behavior)
Explosion carries Demolition Force (30) → enough to break bug holes & fabricators.

The G-4 Gas is best used to disrupt enemy pushes—its confusion effect buys your squad time to reposition or clean up targets without getting overwhelmed. Pair it with fire or sustained DPS weapons to finish enemies more efficiently. If you're experimenting with gas-focused loadouts, you can buy H2 items online at U4GM to expand your build options.

How It Works In Practice

Once thrown, the G-4 bursts into a mist cloud that lingers for several seconds. Enemies inside lose target tracking, wander, attack in random directions, and take consistent damage. This doesn't immobilize them like the G-23 Stun, but it significantly degrades their threat level.

The confusion effect is particularly impactful:

Chargers often overshoot their charges
Scouts cannot accurately call reinforcements
Automatons lose focus and shoot poorly
Illuminate become erratic and easier to isolate

Strengths

Strength	Explanation
Area Denial	Controls space and slows enemy advances.
Crowd Control	Perfect for swarms—forces chaos in enemy formations.
Destroys Structures	Can break bug holes, fabricators, warp ships, and loot containers.
Safe for Teammates	Gas doesn't do heavy friendly fire damage like some explosives.
Pairs With Fire & Heavy Weapons	Burn + Gas stacks to speed up takedowns.

Weaknesses

Weakness	Explanation
Low Lethality	Won't kill armored targets fast on its own.
Delayed Effect	Takes time to apply control; not ideal when immediate burst is required.
Cannot Stack Gas Damage	Multiple gas sources don't increase DPS.
Enemies Still Move	Unlike stun, gas doesn't completely immobilize threats.

Community Impressions & Use Cases

Players tend to place the G-4 Gas in a mid-tier utility role. It doesn't replace grenades like Impact or Thermite for damage, nor does it fully substitute the Stun grenade's hard lockdown.

But it shines in:

Defend missions (bait swarm → gas → mow down)
Chokepoint narrow corridors
Open-area retreats
Squads coordinating high ammo-efficient kills

If you like playing support or controlling battlefield flow—this grenade fits perfectly.

Recommended Build | Controlled Chaos Support

Slot	Choice	Reason
Primary	Liberator Concussive / Breaker	Reliable mob clearing
Stratagem 1	Shield Generator Backpack	Enables aggressive forward positioning
Stratagem 2	Incendiary Mines	Fire + Gas stacking is extremely effective
Stratagem 3	Autocannon	Cleans up confused heavies quickly
Stratagem 4	Orbital Gas Strike (for synergy) or Precision Strike	Overlapping effects ensures full zone control

Playstyle Tip:
Throw gas at the front of an approaching swarm rather than directly on enemies already at melee range. Let enemies walk into disorientation, not fight through it.

Summary

The G-4 Gas grenade is not meant for direct killing—it's a battlefield management tool. When used deliberately, it:

Breaks enemy charges
Prevents coordinated reinforcements
Opens safe firing windows
Eliminates static objectives efficiently

If you enjoy playing methodically or supporting a coordinated squad, the G-4 Gas can quietly be one of the most impactful throwables in the game.
