The incendiary grenade is a throwable weapon in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Valve's team-based shooter first released in 2012, where it creates a patch of fire that damages players and blocks movement. The distinct ignition sound became familiar to millions of players through competitive matches, streams and gameplay clips shared online. Soundboard users later isolated the short burst for reuse outside the game, where it now appears in montages, reaction edits and meme videos whenever fire, danger or a denied area needs an instantly recognisable audio cue.
