ARC Raiders Horseshoes and Hand Grenades requires downing an encountered Raider with a grenade. The researched method makes the grenade the damage source that causes the down, rather than finishing an opponent already on the ground.

Keep the damage source clear

Choose a damaging grenade and an opportunity where you can tell which hit downs the opponent. A thrown device that only creates smoke or a lure does not establish that its damage caused the down. Do not count a teammate's final gunshot as your grenade result.

Hizzle recommends separating the attempt from other knockout awards when reviewing a failure. Downing, finishing and applying a status are different events, even when they happen during the same fight.

Reported bugged, historical: a January 7 Steam participant described failed grenade attempts. Later methods describe successes; neither proves universal current behavior. UNSURE: every incendiary/status attribution and current console credit. No fixed blast radius, grenade count or guaranteed workaround is supplied.

Online match required. Completion time and a numerical difficulty rating are UNSURE. No DLC condition is stated in the cited requirement; complete platform/missable/reset reconciliation remains open. Use the roadmap to group this with suitable runs. Hizzle checked sources without playing.
