Inade, often referred to as "Inade" or "I-Nade," is a term primarily used within certain online gaming communities, particularly those involving strategy or team-based gameplay. It describes a specific tactical maneuver where a player intentionally throws a grenade or explosive device in such a way that it will detonate precisely when an enemy player is about to reach a particular location or objective. This often involves anticipating enemy movement and timing the detonation to maximize the impact and eliminate the opponent before they can react or achieve their goal. The term itself is a portmanteau of "intentional" and "grenade." Successfully executing an Inade requires a good understanding of game mechanics, including projectile trajectory, fuse timers, and common player pathing. It is considered a skillful play that can shift the momentum of a match or secure a crucial objective. Conversely, a poorly timed or executed Inade can be wasted, potentially leaving the player vulnerable. The effectiveness and prevalence of Inades can vary greatly depending on the specific game being played and its particular mechanics related to explosives and player movement.
