Gravity Grenades is a modification for Quake. This modification makes it so that the Grenade Launcher randomly will change the gravity of the game (sv_gravity) upon every explosion. Ogres are not affected. It has been designed in such a way that the number never can be identical to what already exists. The gravity can extend to a maximum of 2900.

If the gravity is less than 350, it is automatically set to 0 for 30 seconds, whereby the player will continually bounce off walls. Note if the player gets inert during this time, the player will need to jump again, it is impossible to move normally during the 30 second period. After 30 seconds, the gravity is shifted to whatever value it originally would have been.

A side effect of changing the gravity is that the Grenade Launcher has been weakened, making it far less efficient to kill opponents with. To compensate for this, the author has increased the damage of the Axe, causing 150 damage per hit. This means a Shambler can die in 4 hits and a Zombie will be instantly Gibbed.
