Decoy Grenade

The decoy grenade emits fake gunfire sounds and a matching radar blip for several seconds, imitating a player firing from that spot. Teams throw it onto one bombsite to bait defenders into rotating there while the real attack hits elsewhere, or use it to scout, distract, and waste the enemy's attention.

The decoy is the least-used grenade because its information value is situational and skilled players learn to ignore obvious fakes. Still, a well-timed decoy combined with a genuine push can manufacture a numbers advantage, which is why it remains a tool in coordinated strategies.
