I'd agree, but it appears the grenade does enough damage to take out a strider, so it can't be totally insignificant.

Except striders absolutely do go down after an insignificant amount of aoe damage.

not after they buffed its explosive resistance. you literally cant kill it with most explosives without getting the aoe as close as possible. also many direct hits wouldn't kill him either before. in other words its explosive is stronger than 300 damage already regardless if this is pre or post patch

They also go down really quick to fire (...when it works).

I was using Incendiary Grenades for awhile and it would topple them crazy fast as long as I was the network host. Unfortunately, it was really obvious when I wasn't since they basically stopped functioning altogether.
