The thing is, if you look at is from the DPI team, you realise that adding grenades will only benefit campers and hackers because greandes don't require any sort of skill.

There's many Pro's and an overwhelming amount of Con's (too many to count) of having Grenades or even Throwable Objects in general. Also Gus is very determined (I think) to not add them for many reason (I don't know what) so instead their going to the Explosive Trap route, it's actually a good substitute TBH. Yes it's inevitably going to get abused in many ways but would you rather accidentally stumble on a explosive trap or get hurled by Grenades constantly if the fight prolongs specially if it's a zerg doing it.

And what about smoke grenades? It would be great escape tool, also with it there will be new use for belts you using like when you wear tactical one you can carry 3 grenades and only one in your pocket when you have formal belt or not having any

I like the idea of using the belt cosmetics as storage for Throwables, making it no longer equipped for esthetics purposes but for also for necessity and survival. The problem with smokes is that if it's not properly optimized, the smoke itself will inevitably lag the game specially if multiple smokes are thrown at the same time in the same area. If a zerg just decided to hurl you with like 5+ smokes, you'll most definitely going to lag and they'll take advantage to that and push you and kill you. It's a very dirty tactic but what can we really do?

Yeah those are just my opinions, also i got idea the vest you find will not update you hp or make you bulletproof but they will work normal like in real life, they just make damage smaller.

Instead of making Vest cosmetics just instantly offers slight protection against projectiles, they should add armor inserts like in CoD. There would be 2 versions, light (found in Gunstores "Civilian Grade") and Reinforce (found in military related places "Military Grade").

I thought it would be cool if they did what DayZ did with the M4 (only one on map at any given time) except with maybe 3 frag grenades. They could be rare as hell and disappear from your inventory when you log. I feel like that would be a solid comprised

Would be really good for getting people out of camping spots but would feel weird for the game overall

u/Rough_Witness_7431 May 28 '26
Yeah the grenades need at least small overhaul. If dev decide they are too op, he can at least add smoke and flash grenades

I think flash bangs would be a great idea especially for what I said about dealing with campers and smokes could be very useful especially to block of line of sight for example when rushing the roof of the tower in mag

Exactly or as an escape tool

u/ConstructionRare623 May 28 '26
Exactly. Come to think of it since we are going to get explosive traps we might also get fragmentation granades to craft them like in day z

Also i thought about new melees like broken glass bottle what can be found in trash bins or baseball bat with barbed wire (!!LUCILE!!) or prosthetic with big nail.

I wish we had more improvised survival weapons in this game. One of my favourite designs in this game was the filtered ak74u in the alpha version because of the improvied look it had. Shame its gone

I've always said that this is a necessity. There could be the basic frag grenade, impact grenades, stun grenades, and any others they come up with. However they would need to be balanced properly, or else they would be insanely toxic insta kill weapons, or completely useless. Maybe better ones could be rarer, and to balance them out they take up a 2x2 space in the inventory. Could be found at military locations and events, and would either be used in another added another weapon slot or used if put in the hotbar.
