The Frag Grenade, or Fragmentation Grenade, is a scrapped grenade weapon in Team Fortress 2. It is an army green "pineapple" grenade with a stripe of team colored paint on its safety lever.

It likely would have functioned the same as in Team Fortress Classic, where it was the default 'regular' grenade for all classes and would simply create a small explosion akin to a Grenade Launcher grenade, possessing no special abilities in particular.

The Soldier carries two frag grenades on his belt which may have initially been used, but no longer serve any gameplay purpose aside from either being juggled via the Buff Banner taunt, which was previously the Shotgun taunt, or being ripped off his bandolier via the Equalizer's Kamikaze taunt, thus activating the non-existent pin so the Soldier blows himself up along with any nearby enemies. Additionally, the grenades were colored yellow to aid in players being able to visually target the class.
