This article has information that is missing or not up to par.
Reason: How does the save against confusion work, especially when wearing items that protect against visual flash effects, like mirrorshades?

A flashbang grenade is a throwable weapon that explodes when thrown, confusing anything within a radius and duration based on the mark number.

A flashbang grenade is a component of the cure for monochrome.

Grenade Radius Confusion Duration
flashbang grenade mk I 2 1d4+45-8 (Avg: 6.5)
flashbang grenade mk II 3 2d4+46-12 (Avg: 9)
flashbang grenade mk III 4 3d4+47-16 (Avg: 11.5)

Tips

  • While any flashbang can cure monochrome, the mk I is both the easiest of the three to come by and the least valuable for other uses.
  • Flashbangs are a way to confuse creatures like oozes and robots that are immune to other sources of confuse.
