Are grenades supposed to do damage through walls ?

[Wilihey]

My grenades sometimes kill through walls or trees, and inside buildings sometimes i am completely fine if the grenade is behind a wall, but other times i think i'm safe after putting a couple walls between me and the grenade and i still take damage.

what is the intended workings of the grenades ? should they do damage through walls or not i honestly cant tell

They are supposed to "curve around" to some degree. Going completely through walls is a bug, most likely caused by how the geometry of certain objects has slight polygon cracks / isn't completely solid. Yes, it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and shouldn't happen but I wouldn't expect it to be fixed tbh at this point.

i was guessing something like this too but wasnt sure because of how inconsistent it was.

It is very common to do dmg thorugh walls. Worst are nades.

Had it (very rarely) that I got killed through 2 walls....

Frag bomb's shrapnel penetrates some walls.

I think the big dynamite bundle can nuke an entire smaller house

frag bomb and large dynamite bundle both go through walls, no other explosives do.

frag bomb shrapnel able to pierce thin wood walls and large dynamite bundle shockwave is really only stopped by thick stone walls like at fort

Incorrect, ALL explosives can penetrate even solid brick walls, even simple dynamite sticks.
It is way to random and incosistent in that regard to be intented tho.

see these clips and explosive analysis for reference
