How to Throw a Grenade at Objects?

[Revenant]

I just started playing KOTOR2 yesterday & am on the first main level with my character, trying to get the Ebon Hawk up & running.

 

After getting to the Droid Controller & then heading back to the Fuel turbo lift I encounter a cylinder that is broken/damaged. I'm told I can't unlock it or force it, but I may be able to open it with a sonic grendade...

 

My question is - how do i throw a grenade at the cylinder as I don't have a target/combat action display up. I only have the normal blue action display with the unlock option. I have plenty of grenades. Going to the inventory/equip won't let me equip them & there seems to be no 'throw grenade' key.

 

Any help appreciated.

I believe you put the grenade in the container. Walk up to the container, and then use a grenade on it.

 

And welcome to the forums!

I think that damaged containers are opened with mines, not grenades. However, there's rarely anything in them that justifies the bother, in my opinion.

I'm not expecting anything out of the container - but it got me stumped & started to imagine all sorts of scenarios where I would need to use grenades on various objects!

 

How do I use the grenade on the container?

 

Thanks

It's been forever since I did it. Maybe you do use a mine actually. Walk up to the container, and select a mine like you would be placing it on the group, but be targetting the container at the time. I think that might do it.

You don't. It's not necessary for the game, and the game doesn't allow you to do it. Grenades are for throwing at enemies, and that's about it. Containers and doors can be opened with mines.

Yeah, you use a mine. Try to use the weak sonic mines, not the deadly (if you still have one). And the others are right; there rarely is any thing good in them. :cool:

Was choosing 'Angle instead of 'Angel conscious, or did you just typo your nick? :D

I think your supposed to place a mine on it. Not throw a gernade at it.

What's the difference between a mine and a grenade? The momentum?

No, but if you had to put a gernade into the container to blast it open, how would you open to put the gernade in?

[metadigital]

If you have mines, you can throw them. (Therefore they are "grenades".) These aren't two different things, they are munitions with a timer.

You open the damaged containers with mines the same way you unlocked the energyroom door in the prologue, but you need a lot of demolition skills, which is not worth it unless you're a sentinel.

mines aren't meant to be thrown. they're usually placed for unsuspecting enemies to step on or in kotor's case opening doors and containers as well as the enemies.
