Grenades, Grenades And More Grenades

[Kantazo]

Have the devs discuss the possibility of introducing grenades in the game?

 

We could have several types of them that can be used according with the type of mobs

 

Like for example

 

Fragmentation  grenades (direct hp damage)

Chemical grenades (causing DPS damage overtime + % damage)

Electrical grenades (causing immobilization for a period of time + % damage)

Thermal grenades (causing burnings + % damage)

Smoke grenades (causing blindness + % damage, also allowing you as player to have few seconds of stealth)

etc, other types could cause blindness, slow movements etc etc

Yes many suggestions have brought this up.

We are not aware tho if they are discussing this.

It seems like quite a nice idea but I'm still not sure.

Meh some frames have abilities with the same as how grenades work so....

[Venarge]

grenades existed in the beginning and the devs didnt like them. Thats why they wont exist....

<p>There are supposed to be throwing weapons implemented, but they are probably just going to be throwing knives, shuriken, glaive, etc. </p>

<p>Since Ash's ability is throwing a shuriken, they might replace that with grenade or something... He already has smoke bomb, which is defensive, so maybe an offensive?</p>

I was thinking the same thing in relation to this matter. Many warframes have "tool" like abilities, such as ash. But does that really limit us from carrying 1 or 2 (non-refill from pick up) tools?

In light of what many of us consider the protaganists of the game, that being space ninjas, wouldn't they carry a tool or 2 like those of old?

Maybe this could evolve into a market item where we buy X amount of a certain tool and equip?

Oddly enough, there's very few targetted, long-range AoE spells. It's like the devs are afraid of them or something.
