Pickpocket a grenade?
Any way to plant a live grenade or mine on someone without having the 2 points into pickpocket?

I think you need pickpocket perk 3. You wont even get the option to pickpocket till 1

Only legit method is with the perk mentioned above, you can probably find a mod though.

If you don't use the perk, the alternative is to drop a mine or grenade at their feet. It works basically the same way in the end.

And risk blowing yourself up.

Just like if it explodes in their pocket. :steammocking:

The mine you should try to avoid literally dropping at their feet since it will blow up almost instantly.

It was probably for an achievement, and for that theres a specific course of action. Dropping grenades on floor does nothing.

He apparently went with the perks, achievement says it just unlocked.

exactly; a mine is not the same as a granade and even a granade can blow up too close.

mines are about pathing(ie let them come to you and/or where you think they may go) where as grenades are about throwing in groups or enemies in cover in the heat of battle. the strategy is a bit different even if a mine is done in the heat of battle it is pre-planing.

It does vary depending on whether you want an achievement or just want someone blown up. :steamhappy:
So if you do the Pants Exploding trick with the perk, does that make the explosion less dangerous to you?

Must be some pretty strong pants.
OoB are you trying to get every Achievement now?

There are mods that remove the achievements lock on modded games https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/15639

The damage is far reduced (and in vanilla its already almost non existant) and you'll take a scratch worth of damage if standing near. In power armor probably no damage.

Then, as per usual, you fix the issue with a mod https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/2961? now you wanna steer clear of the grenade since force alone will start crippling limbs, suiciders become more suicidy than ever before, fatmans start working properly, missile launchers, grenades, mines, and even the rat with a bomb attached is going to be a nightmare.

There is also a little time to run away.
