Technical Details
Cutscenes
When you start cradle you can get two different cutscenes that influences where some guards are. The lower cutscene makes it so there is one less guard as you get to the top of the first slope. The lower cutscene is slightly advantaged over the upper cutscene[2].
Grenade Odds
The chances of a guard choosing to throw a grenade seems to be 11/256 = 4.3% or 1 in 23.27.[3]
Cradle guards also need the 1 ZMG to be able to use the grenade throw action. Each guard has the following probabilities to become a certain type:
- 1 Zmg/Black Beret = 81/256 = 31.6%
- 2 Zmg/Burgundy Beret = 80/256 = 31.25%
- 2 Zmg/Navy Beret = 95/256 = 37.1%
It is not possible to manipulate higher grenade throwing odds.
Guard Spawns
There are 5 chaser[4] spawn guards will check to respawn every 12s. They have a 95 / 256 (~37.1%) chance to have 2x ZMG with a blue hat, an 80 / 256 (~31.3%) chance to have 2x ZMG with a purple hat, and an 81 / 256 (~31.6%) chance to have 1x ZMG with a black hat. They all have 40 health and 20 armor, but blue hats have 80 reaction speed and accuracy, purple hats have 60 reaction speed and accuracy, and black hats have 50 reaction speed and accuracy. [5]
Trevelyan Grenades
You have to look away for Trev to drop grenades. The reason Trev sometimes stops dropping grenades completely when doing the old suicide strategy, is that he moved too far away from you (outside the 80 unit radius). This can generally be fixed by moving a bit closer to the door.[6]
The reason Trev sometimes stops flickering for a short while is that he gets too far away from his target location and has to run back[6]. Now, if he's loaded while doing this, he will get back faster, because he can take shortcuts and doesn't have to get all the way back. This means he won't be able to run for the full 1 second, and thus never have a chance to drop a grenade. If he's unloaded however, he will usually have enough time.
I also noticed that if he's loaded, his small flicker steps can cause him to get away from the target location faster than if he's unloaded. Meaning if you unload him after this, he might drop a nade faster than if he was unloaded the whole time. So for example, when doing the suicide strat from below, you can run into his 80 unit radius while looking up, then instantly run back and look away, and he might drop a nade. If you instead look down the whole time, I doubt he ever throws a nade unless you run back and forth into his radius at least 2 times.
The recent cradle strat discovery also led us to the realization that Trev can drop nades after his death, assuming he was in the running state when he died.
