Mod: Improved Grenades
<div class="IPBDescription">Giving the grenadelauncher some love</div>Hi all!
I've posted my mod '<a href="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=117563913" target="_blank">Improved Grenades</a>' in the workshop with some features I feel are missing from the current grenade launcher. As it is the GL is a powerful tool when it comes to taking down alien structures but in other areas it is pretty much.. meh.. not so useful.
I've currently added two features that I believe will make the GL a more fun weapon to use a support.
<b>Shockwave</b>
<ul><li>Shockwave radius is 125% of damage radius.</li><li>Break wallgrip (Skulk & Lerk)</li><li>Remove camouflage</li></ul>
<b>Remote detonate</b>
<ul><li>Secondary attack will detonate last launched grenade</li></ul>
Interested to hear what you guys think of the changes so far, good and bad!

Yes, I found the old disabled code and just re-enabled it. It is possible that remote detonation is too powerful but in case an admin only wish to have the 'Shockwave' feature it can be configured in the <b>improved_grenades.json</b> configuration file.
In the first version of the mod shockwave also included a stun for 0.7 seconds with a 5 second cooldown. This was argued as also being too strong so it was removed completely.
