There are a lot of throwable weapons in Helldivers 2 so it can be difficult to decide which one to take on your next mission. With that being said, we have put together a best throwables tier list for Helldivers 2 to help weed out which ones are best left behind. Read on to figure out which of these weapons are the best so you have the easiest time on your next mission whether it is against the Automatons or the Terminids.

G-23 Stun
The G-23 Stun grenade is one that we consider to be the best in the game. There appear to be no faults with the grenade and it stuns multiple foes when it is thrown. It is useful in most situations and can get you out of trouble when used correctly.
A-tier throwables
The A-tier consists of some great throwable weapons that you should consider when heading out on your next mission. These weapons may not be as good as the ones in the S-tier but they can hold their own and help in most situations.

G-16 Impact
The G-16 Impact grenade is one that is helpful in most situations. With its high damage, short timer, and large explosive radius, this grenade is great for clearing hordes of smaller foes or taking down larger enemies. The only issue with this grenade is that the large explosive radius can put you at risk of getting hurt or being rag-dolled.

G-13 Incendiary Impact
The Incendiary Impact grenade is great to use against Terminids and should be a go-to throwable for missions on Terminid-controlled planets. The grenade explodes instantly and is great for clearing out bug nests. It even has the ability to plug bug holes. The main downside to the G-13 Incendiary Impact grenade is that it is almost ineffective against Automatons.
B-tier throwables
The B-tier throwables are a viable option to take during missions but aren’t the greatest. You can make do with these weapons but we wouldn’t rely on them when the going gets tough.

G-12 High Explosive
The G-12 High Explosive grenade is amazing for clearing bug holes and fabricators. Unfortunately, that is all it is really good for. Thanks to its long fuse timer, it can be difficult to kill a lot of enemies with it. At least you can use it to destroy larger, slow enemies.
The G-6 Frag grenade is good for dealing with lower-tier enemies. Image captured by VideoGamer
G-6 Frag
The G-6 Frag is one of the basic throwables that you can get early in the game. This throwable is good for destroying fabricators and bug holes and can clear out smaller enemies. Once you start dealing with larger foes, this grenade isn’t very useful and should be left out.
C-tier throwables
The C-tier throwables are okay and can be used but they definitely aren’t the best to take with you into a firefight. You can get some use out of them and they are okay in certain circumstances but they aren’t great on higher difficulties.

G-123 Thermite
The G-123 Thermite deals damage to enemies it gets stuck to before it explodes, dealing decent damage. Thanks to its long timer, it can be difficult to deal damage to multiple enemies at once with this grenade. You can get some use out of the Thermite grenade but it won’t be much.
The Throwing Knife is good for stealth operations. Image captured by VideoGamer
K-2 Throwing Knife
The Throwing Knife is the only throwable weapon that is good for stealth missions. Outside of that, you won’t get much use out of it. You must be very accurate with your throws to deal a lot of damage to enemies and almost every other weapon is better than it.
The G-10 Incendiary grenade burns enemies for a long time. Image captured by VideoGamer
G-10 Incendiary
The G-10 Incendiary grenade is like a weaker version of the Thermite grenade. It can deal damage over time to foes that walk near it and take down smaller enemies but it won’t help you out in most situations. You will be better off sticking with other grenades.
D-tier throwables
The D-tier weapons are ones that you won’t get any use out of and can easily be forgotten. You won’t have any reason to bring these throwables into battle unless you feel like messing around with them.
The G-3 Smoke grenade is good for creating cover. Image captured by VideoGamer
G-3 Smoke
The G-3 Smoke grenade is the only throwable that doesn’t really have a use. You can use it to create cover and hide from foes but there are stratagems that you can use that are better for the job. This grenade is one that you shouldn’t bother taking because you most likely will not get any use out of it.
