Where to get the Slicewire Grenade in Destiny 2
The Slicewire Grenade can be purchased on Neptune at the Pouka Pond, located near the Hall of Heroes. To unlock it travel to Neptune and make your way to the Hall of Heroes. Locate the Pouka Pond nearby.

Navigate to Strand → Grenades → Slicewire Grenade. Purchase the grenade for 3,000 Glimmer.
Once purchased, it becomes available as a selectable Strand grenade on that character.
What the Slicewire Grenade does
When thrown, the grenade moves along the ground and releases spinning Strand projectiles as it travels. These threads can strike multiple enemies and apply Sever, one of Strand’s core debuffs.
Severed enemies deal reduced damage, making the grenade valuable not only for clearing groups of enemies but also for reducing incoming damage during difficult encounters.
“A grenade that bounces and releases multiple whirling threads, severing targets.”
Why is Sever useful
| Effect | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Reduces enemy damage output | Improves survivability |
| Affects multiple enemies | Great for groups |
| Works on tougher combatants | Useful in endgame content |
| Synergizes with Strand builds | Supports crowd control setups |
Because the grenade can spread Sever to several targets at once, it offers both offensive and defensive value in PvE activities.
Best situations to use the grenade
The Slicewire Grenade performs particularly well when enemies are grouped together. Its moving projectile pattern allows it to travel through packs of combatants while applying damage and debuffs across a wider area than many traditional grenades.
It is also effective in narrow corridors and enclosed spaces where enemies have fewer opportunities to avoid the whirling threads. Players running Strand-focused builds can use it to soften enemy groups before engaging with weapons or abilities.
How Slicewire Grenade fits into Strand builds
For Hunters, Titans, and Warlocks alike, the grenade provides a reliable source of Sever without requiring specific Exotic armor pieces. It fits naturally into builds focused on survivability, crowd control, and ability synergy.
Since it combines damage and utility in a single ability, many players may find it a strong alternative to some of the older Strand grenade options depending on the activity they are tackling.
The Slicewire Grenade is purchased directly from the Meditative Focal Point at Pouka Pond near Neptune’s Hall of Heroes. For only 3,000 Glimmer, you gain access to a unique Strand grenade that releases multiple whirling threads, damages groups of enemies, and applies the powerful Sever debuff. If you’re experimenting with new Strand builds, it’s one of the first abilities worth unlocking.
