The decoy grenade is equipment featured in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. When thrown, it emits the sound of the user's most powerful weapon, giving an illusion that an enemy nearby is firing. After a certain period of time, the decoy grenade will self-detonate.

Properties

Advantages
Edit
- Very useful in creating distractions or luring the enemy away from you
- Can create the illusion of additional/surpressive fire
- Can intimidate enemy players and they may not want to engage you or enter into the area with the emitting decoy grenade
- Very cheap (only $50).
Disadvantages
Edit
- Once enemies become aware that a decoy grenade has been thrown, they will focus their attention on previous or new objectives
- Furthermore, if the opposing force is able to communciate effectively and frequently, they can alert each other if they discover an active decoy grenade thus rendering it completely useless afterwards.
- Noisy (not recommended to use when the enemy is occupied elsewhere and if you do not want to be seen)
- The grenade must be thrown correctly otherwise, the enemy force may actually arrive to your position!

Trivia
Edit
- The explosion that occurs after the decoy grenade expires inflicts damage to any player near it.
- There is no HUD kill icon if a player is killed by the explosion.
- On the 3rd of December, 2012, the decoy grenade was updated: the price was lowered from $200 to $50, the fire rate and lifespan have been tweaked and it now looks physically more like a flashbang.[1]
