Quick-Det Flash Grenade

The  is a grenade available to the Light Assault. It is unlocked using Certification Points.

When thrown, quick-det flash grenades begin a one-and-a-half second fuse. After this timer elapses, the grenade explodes. Any targets in range and within direct line-of-sight to the grenade are blinded for up to 4 seconds, with their entire screen becoming white, and deafened, with a ringing sound playing until the effect begins to fade.

As the target's range from the grenade increase, the duration of the blind and deafen effects are shortened, and at longer ranges the grenade will not fully blind the target.

To throw a grenade, press the Use Grenade hotkey ( by default). You will throw it using your right arm after a short animation.
