Post subject:  Grenade Concepts

We already discussed this before, but I thought I'd go ahead and dedicate a thread to this topic for quick reference.
Ideas for weapons that would fit the "Grenade" class. If you got 'em, post 'em here.
Here's some of mine:

Fuel Grenade:
-starting with a simple one. Upon detonating, this grenade forms a pool of Fuel around its last position. The fuel would have the same properties as the FlameThrower's fuel, so I don't have to explain what can happen next ;)


AirBurst Grenade:
-A "non-lethal" grenade whose explosion would project people through the air but not damage them directly. I see it's main uses as being throwing enemies off cliffs, pushing back Shotgun/Knife rushers and to simulate a harmless rocket jump. Alternatively, the grenade could be set to "suck" enemies towards it.


Remote Turret:
-a remote control with a screen displaying static. Like the M50, it would allow you to set down a camera and get video feed through the screen. This camera ,however, would be able to shoot things (for balance's sake, I'd go with a single poison dart with a "longish" cooldown) and the remote could be Dual Wielded.


Holy Hand Grenade:
- ... It might not be "entirely" MY idea, but... c'mon! What kind of person would I be if I didn't mention it? :whistle:

Aerosol Can:
- Aerosol can + lighter = makeshift flamethrower.
Less range than the flamethrower itself, but less heavy and without the danger of getting shot in the gas-tank.
Special Fire/Secondary Fire could additionally set fire/heat to the can's cap, enabling you to throw it like a molotov cocktail ,or just making it blow up after some time, if you don't throw it.

That airburst grenade should be called concussion or blast, well whatever who means that the grenade will use some kind of wind to push players.
I say that because airburst grenades are programmable grenades that detonate where they were programmed to detonate. :handgestures-thumbupright:
Though if you have other ideas or weapon concepts keep submitting you know that everyone reads what people is sumbitting here even if the re is no answer ;)

The name was intentional :P
It's both a reference to actual airburst grenades, as well as the fact that the grenade sucks the air around it and then blows it way in a "burst"

And don't you worry, anything I think is interesting enough, I'll be sure to post it here :handgestures-thumbupright:
