What does this mod do?

Introducing the Fallout 4 Grenade Timer Overhaul Mod, a game-changing enhancement for your commonwealth adventures. In the base game, all grenades adhered to a uniform 2. 5-second timer, which often felt unrealistic and limited your tactical options.

Our mod steps in to rectify this by meticulously adjusting the explosion timers for various grenade types:

• []Fragmentation Grenade: Now boasting a substantial 5-second timer, you have ample opportunity to strategically position and plan your attacks.

  []Nuka Grenade: Extending the timer to a generous 6 seconds, perfect for causing maximum mayhem.

  []Cryo Grenade: Precisely timed at 2. 75 seconds, giving you the edge to freeze enemies with precision.

  []Pulse Grenade: Offering a comfortable 4-second countdown, effectively handling robotic threats.

  []Baseball Grenade: Ticking at 3 seconds, ideal for your 'home run' explosive needs.

  []Plasma Grenade: Now at 4 seconds, ensuring your high-energy projectile detonates when you want it to.

• Other Utility Grenades: All featuring a 4-second timer, offering versatility and utility without the constant rush.

  This mod introduces a new layer of depth and immersion to your Fallout 4 journey, allowing you to adapt your tactics, unleash devastating attacks, and immerse yourself fully in the post-apocalyptic commonwealth.

  But why?

  Glad you asked! Make sure to also download the fantastic mod, Cookable Grenade. This mod was designed to work seamlessly alongside Cookable Grenade. It allows you to pull the pin of your grenade, hold it in your hand, and let the explosion timer tick down. But don't hold it for too long, or you'll have no Nuka-Cola for a very long time, maybe even forever. Pull the pin, measure the distance with your eyes, and throw for the perfect hit. Adding a new layer of depth to Fallout 4!

  📊 Pros & Cons

  ✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 442 endorsements and 29k downloads — clearly fills a niche.
  • Tight integration with Cookable Grenades adds depth for players who want crafting synergy.
  • Last updated in 2023, so it's recent enough to likely work with current Fallout 4 versions.

  ⚠️ Cons

  • Requires Cookable Grenades as a dependency — if you don't have it, this mod is useless.
  • Only affects grenade timers, so if you want broader explosive tweaks, this won't cover it.

  🎯 Is This For You?
  For Fallout 4 players who want more tactical and realistic grenade use, especially those already using Cookable Grenades. If you're a purist who wants to tweak explosive gameplay without overhauling the whole system, this is a lightweight addition.
