The Modern Warfare 3 Season 1 Reloaded update brought several major changes to all aspects of the game, including significant improvements to the previously underused grenades.

Modern Warfare 3’s Season 1 Reloaded update is finally here, offering players a significant amount of content to explore while they wait for Season 2 to arrive.

While the addition of content is always something to appreciate, many players have noticed the balance changes in weapons and accessories.

And quietly, hidden deep in the patch notes, some fans have spotted a major change to the game’s least-used lethal grenade.

The MW3 Reloaded update significantly improved the thermobaric grenade

The thermobaric grenade, a recurring lethal piece of equipment in the Call of Duty franchise, functions like a high-powered Molotov cocktail. Players can prepare and throw it and it will explode on contact while leaving a combustible residue. Additionally, when a player is hit, they will also take more explosive damage.

As it stands, the Thermobaric Grenade is probably one of the least powerful lethal grenades in MW3.

However, the update Reload is set to change as this gear has its minimum explosive damage increased by 200%, from 25 to 75 damage.

It will take some time before players become aware of this modification of the Thermobaric Grenade, so be sure to get ahead of your opponents by equipping it now.
