"Throw Grenade" Not Working - Spoilers

[ScientiaEtRatio]

Due to this game's broken save system, after I got to the hydroelectric dam to find the swimmer and sniper rifle--AFTER I threw the grenade yesterday--I quickly discovered he was not there. So, I went back to where the grenade is located, picked it up for the 2nd time, and attempted to throw it in the designated area where the "Throw Grenade" action appears. Problem is, holding down A or the primary mouse button results in nothing; I am assuming this is some sort of bug because I already threw the grenade on the same game, but it did not save it even though I received about 3~ "Saving Scene" indicators afterwards yesterday.

Same happened to me, but at the first attempt. I will retry another day.

I have the same problem,the grenade can¨t throw !!!

[MtnDude]

me too ... throw grenade doesn't work

Same issue here. not sure if I foud it before I was supposed to or what, but found the grenade randomly, activated the story which leads to "Fangs" completed it, and then found the prompt to throw grenade but could not.

Edit: After looking at how other prompts behave, I think this might be a sequence issue. There appears to be a prompt that lets to scry where the item is, which I believe is conflicting with the action state (effectively, it's looking to scry for the grenade, which you already have, and use it, because it already have it, but it's not in a state ready to use). After I finish the game I'll likely restart and attempt to find the prompt first, then go back for the grenade (rather than getting the grenade before the prompt) and see if that does the trick. If it does I will update accordingly.

Update: Might not be exactly what I thought, appears it might just be if you start that "scene" and then begin another before you reach this point. What I ultimately did to complete this was I got as far as the point where it saves your state at the dam. I then restarted the game which reset any uncompleted scenes. I went back completed the graveyard scene which I had half complete at the time (probably unrelated but including just in case), then I went back and discovered the prompt to throw the grenade was not there (which kills my theory of there being a conflicting scry prompt). Went, got the grenade, and t hen did NOTHING ELSE but run back, go to the point, and it allowed me to throw the grenade this time, at which point I made a run straight for the rifle.

tl;dr: try waiting until the save at the dam, restart the game, and then don't progress any scenes except the grenade one (so just get the grenade, throw, and get the rifle, without interacting with quest/inspection items).

Hopefully this helps.

Just ran into this bug. Would be nice if the devs would chime in. I'm not going to be able to get the completion I was hoping for now.

Ummm. I found the grenade, threw it to the water, went to the lift and it wasn't there! I tried waiting for it, nothing happened. (Another bug.) Then I went back to see if I can pick it up again... and there was empty space with "Inspect" on it! Grenade wasn't there, but the game thought it was, in some half-state. So I restarted from last checkpoint, picked up the grenade (which was now here fully) and I can't throw it to the water. Pressing anything does nothing.

I tried to re-activate the dam so I can throw nade and everything but nop. This is not working :(

Very frustrating I found the grenade early in game and I walked at the good spot on the dam but for some reason, game never saved the nade and that's why when I passed on bridge, I never saw I had to throw it... even more frustrating I would have done it if game had saved properly the nade when I found it. Fix it plz :(

I keep getting comment indicatrs on this thread, hopefully this will fix your problems: I reset the dam to its default state, completely exited out of the game, restarted, upon last checkpoint I straight lined to the grenade, which was there, threw it in the water, set the dam to the state used to progress, then the guy was where was supposed to be and I was able to do the quest and receive the achievement.

I restarted the game several times (2 times) and it somehow worked.

Ressurecting an old thread but wanted to add that, if you have the bomb and go to throw it and it gives the prompt but doesn't let you throw it - move back steadily until the spinning words... stop spinning. They will become a yellow word and you can then throw the grenade.

[Enverex]

That doesn't work. The bug is that you simply cannot throw it, not that you're just in the wrong place.

Glad to see they didn't bother fixing this for redux, gg.

Hi seanyc123,

in Redux, you have to aim at a fairly specific spot, above the railing and to the left, to get the Throw Grenade text to turn yellow. Then you can click to throw. Let me know if that worked for you.

It also worked for me, but it´s nearly impossible to do that if someone didn´t read this hint, you should fix that, I also tried it for hours until I read this.
