Player Grenades

[Knightmarez]

Takes up one slot in your inventory menu. Blueprint from the dojo labs. From healing to damage to procs, Embre gives bonus to flame grenades, Frost gives bonus to cryo grenades, etc.

[Silraed]

Your abilities are your grenades, DE have stated they won't add grenades.

[matto]

Maybe not adding them, but making them drop from some mobs, so you can use them just for fun during a mission. Not a part of our Tenno arsenal, just an environment item.

[Skepsis]

No. Grenades.

[Deidaku]

So much negativity ,

Yes for environmental items , we don't interact with it enough

[Gamoholik]

for sure tenno needs some grenades, claymore, or some traps. i bet they will add something in the future.

The penta does a good Job at that all on its own.

Warframe isn't tactical enough, and I don't think the game is designed for it. It is a fast and coop beat'em all with mission type levels. The only mission where it could be useful is defense. And we are doing great without them. Maybe a frame based on traps, a new engineer type Warframe, a new Vauban, would be useful though.

 

Traps, turrets, claymores, all those items imply that the game becomes more static. And that is not what Warframe is designed for.

 

However, making it an environmental item for grenades sound viable. Maybe a simple animation, a mob drops a grenade (that would explode after 5 sec), when you go on it, your Warframe picks it, you choose a direction and throw it by pushing your trigger.

Whoa, woah....

Penta is a GRENADE launcher. Use Penta. Blast.

all penta/torid user's can say this sounds like a bad idea.

 

imagine the horror if every tenno had grenades.

Traps along with improved Stealth... i want it.

[Tsukinoki]

DE has stated that they will not be adding grenades into the game.

The reason?

Powers take up the exact same rules.

You want to add a flash-bang?

Well now you're making Excaliburs "Radial Blind" ability redundant and removing the one thing that he is good at in high level play by allowing players to bring a lot of them.

You want to add an incendiary grenade?

Well now you're replacing Embers "Fireball" or even "Fireblast" depending on if it sticks around as a fire patch.

You want to add a cryo grenade?

Well now you're replacing Frosts "Freeze" or even "Ice Wave" depending on how it functions, either instant or a small persistant effect.

You want to add a toxin grenade?

Well now you're replacing some of Saryn's abilities, such as "Miasma"

You want to add in a smoke grenade?

Well now you're replacing Ash's "Smoke Screen".

And it just goes on.

If you just want a radial damage grenade we have those abilities in spades and then some.

If you want a grenade with a special effect you are just replacing a frames ability.

You would be able to replace entire frames at high levels with a few grenades due to them replacing their useful abilities. And even in lower level play you would be replacing the marginally useful frames, such as Ember, completely against the one area they do well in because you can suddenly carry it around in grenade form.

@rap2pac

The game is moving far too much.

Why set up a trap or a claymore in a corridor that you will likely never go back into and that once you get 2 or 3 tiles away the enemies coming from that direction wont be affected because of how they spawn?

In order to make those ideas work WF would have to slow down and become more tactical, and DE has stated early on that they want to keep the game simple and fast, which traps go against both side of that.

[Brimir]

The only one who is allowed to carry 'grenades' is Vauban.

 

End of story.

Well then, how about a grenadier frame?

 

1 could be a HE grenade

2 could be a flashbang

3 could be a frag grenade (dat shrapnel)

4 could be a mother of all grenades (or grenade spam of like 15 all around you)

 

Not very well developed, I know, although it is a way to add grenades to the game for those who really want them.

[AngerManagement]

Grenades arnt ninja. But an RPG sure as hell is.

That would be pretty awesome. Vindictus had loads of environmental items that could use; everything from the rubble of broken walls to the corpses of your slain enemies to crates and barrels to healthy varieties of assorted squash. It was great while the game lasted.

His four could be a cluster grenade.
