- "These frag grenades can cause explosive and concussive damage over a wide area, momentarily disorienting anyone caught within their blast radius."
- —Turok manual[1]
The ORO FG8 frag grenade is a fragmentation hand grenade manufactured by ORO that was first introduced during the events of Turok. Ubiquitous and commonly utilized, this weapon saw common use by both Whiskey Company and the Mendel-Gruman Corporation.
Appearance[]
This grenade appears as a conventional, spherical, beige and green explosive device. It features a pin as a means of activation.
Gameplay[]
Single-player[]
When thrown, this device will detonate approximately two seconds after landing, and it will either heavily damage or kill any soft targets within the radius. It will also turn any dinosaurs into meat fountains if they are caught right in the explosion. Larger targets such as the Dilophosaurus won't be immediately fragmented by the explosion, but will be stunned and fall over, opening them up to the player's combat knife. Grenades, unlike their counterpart in Turok: Evolution, will not bounce repeatedly upon hitting the ground, and also cannot be airbursted. Likewise, they cannot be cooked to abuse a shorter detonation timer or to add distance to the throw; the player will be forced to throw them the same way every time.
Nearly all Mendel-Gruman personnel possess frag grenades and are able to throw them. Their use is haphazard, and they will mostly target the player's last known position, making them easy to dodge.
Multiplayer[]
All players spawn with three frag grenades in their inventory. While lacking some of their utility that they possess in single-player, they're still useful for zone control, and are able to kill anything within the multiplayer component of Turok in one shot barring the Dilophosaurus present on Sentinel. Like the single-player campaign, these can be found as pickups.
Pickups[]

History[]
During a climatic fight with Mama Scarface, Joseph Turok would utilize a frag grenade against the Tyrannosaurus rex, shoving one into the dinosaur's injured eye before being shaken off. While the T. rex would manage to stand back up, the frag would detonate inside her skull, violently destroying it and killing her immediately.
