What does x10 mean?

[Kumbu]

When it comes to grenades, timesX grenades spawn child grenades upon explosion. But my grenade has rouglhy 120000x10 damage, but it says some thing with 140000 damage does more damage, even tho the first one clearly does more. What am I missing?

The x10 means that after it detonates the first time, 10 more (smaller) grenades will spawn and then detonate.

Unlike with guns, grenades don't take the child grenades into account when comparing damage.

so which one would do more damage?

[lightningdragon10065]

It really depends on how many of the child grenades actually hit.

Typically, grenades that spawn child grenades (i.e, MIRVs) are better at dealing damage to many enemies at once.
So, if you're not fighting either A: A lot of enemies or B: A very big enemy, the MIRV/whatever won't be as efficient as the non-child grenade with higher damage.

does that mean that each child grenade does as much damage as the orignal grenade?
