| − | While it's unlikely that any one [[Creatures|enemy]] will take damage from all the bomblets at once, it is worth appreciating the Cluster's saturation abilities; the effective damage radius of all nine bomblets combined is immense - even if they don't kill whatever they hit, they have a good chance of stunning their target for a lengthy period of time. As a result, this grenade works best against large groups which may not be perfectly clustered; the random spread of the bomblets helps more than it hurts, easily blowing up crowds of grounded enemies like [[Creatures#Glyphid|Glyphids]]. |

The Cluster's immense range and unpredictable bomblet spread means that special care must be taken to ensure no [[Dwarves|teammates]] are present when throwing it, as it can easily deal lots of damage to your allies. This grenade is also less effective against bigger targets such as [[Glyphid Praetorian|Praetorians]], who can stand up to individual bomblet damage easily with their [[Creature Armor|armor]] (though they may be stunned if they catch more than a couple of the bomblets). The Gunner's [[Sticky Grenade]] is better suited to handling individual targets with its Fear Factor and high damage. |

About
The Cluster Grenade is an unlockable Throwable for the Gunner. It is a handheld explosive with multiple payloads connected to one large stick.
The Cluster Grenade does not produce an explosion upon landing. It will instead eject its nine miniature payloads after a brief delay upon impact with the world. These "bomblets" will eject in random directions (though the distance they travel remains roughly the same) and will immediately explode on impact. The combined damage of all these bombs stacks up to 360 damage.
They have a chance of stunning their target as well.
 Unlocked through a level cap.
