Troopers belonging to Shinra's Public Security Division. Largely tasked with providing support from the rear. They prefer to attack from a distance, but can fight up close when required.
Enemy details
The Grenadier is an enemy in Final Fantasy VII Remake. They are Shinra infantry equipped with a powerful grenade launcher.
Stats
Battle
The Grenadier is a support-fire type of enemy. He'll mostly remain in the backline using 
Grenade Shot to supplement the main infantry, and will rarely, if ever, engage in close-range combat. Grenade Shot deals heavy area-of-effect damage and will flinch characters, leaving them vulnerable.
Hard mode
On the hard difficulty the Grenadier will use Grenade Shot more often.
Strategy
Much like the vast majority of human-type enemies, the Grenadier is weak against fire. He is weak and vulnerable on his own, having lower HP and stats compared to the Security Officer. Grenade Shot is a telegraphed ability with a slow moving arc projectile, being easy to avoid.
Grenadiers can pose a threat when the player is fighting multiple enemies, as they will remain safe on the backline shooting grenades. Ideally, they should be the first enemies to be dispatched, to avoid the support-fire.
Behind the scenes
The Grenadier seems to be based on Grenadiers, an enemy that appeared in the 1996 Aeris demo of Final Fantasy VII, both boasting a yellow color scheme and appearing in roughly the same early portion of the story. The yellow Grenadiers was the only enemy from the demo to not appear in the final version of Final Fantasy VII, but the Grenade Combatant, which has the same Japanese name (擲弾兵), appears later in the Shinra Building, albeit now with a blue color scheme.
