In competitive play each player can carry up to four grenades, with no more than two flashbangs.
Why it matters: a team that uses grenades well takes bombsites with fewer losses and defends them longer. A planned attack with grenades is an execute. Players who throw most of the team's grenades often play a support role.
Utility also costs money: about $1,100 to $1,300 per player for a full set, which is part of a full buy.
