M18 Smoke Grenade

The M18 smoke grenade is another grenade available in the game and one of two non-lethal grenades available. During airborne training, a green M18 is used to mark the landing area the player must land their parachute in during the live jump in order to successfully qualify. In multiplayer mode, it emits only white smoke, and is useful for obscring the enemy's vision and providing temporary cover.

M84 Stun Grenade

The M84 stun grenade appears as the second non-lethal grenade in the game, first seen in the "Shoot House" and "ESS McKenna" training missions, as well as in multiplayer mode. A direct hit from one of these grenades leaves the player blind and deaf for several moments and unable to defend themselves. In the "Shoot House" mission, using these grenades delays the timer in that room, allowing the player more time to distinguish valid targets from friendlies and non-combatants.
