Radius excessive 2 >> 2.5

Step one we took was to make sure the Spike Grenade reached its meant goal by stopping its detonation midair. Moreover, as soon as the Spike Grenade does attain its meant goal it would detonate extra rapidly—much like different grenades within the sandbox.
Detonation timer begins modified from instantly >> when at relaxation.
Timer decreased (low & excessive) 1.8 >> 1.2 seconds.
