Spec Grenade Launcher changes

Post by masterspots » 23 Sep 2016, 09:23

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): The grenade launcher needs some changes, it is almost never ever useful on the ground and the only time it's used is when the aliens invade the Sulaco. Give the grenade launcher the same treatment as boiler spit, the grenade you launch passes through friendlies to where you click. Some other things it could be given is a breaching round that'll smash through resins walls, resin doors, glass and metal grilles(Give them glasses similar to mesons so they can actually fire though walls), The ability to see what you have loaded and switch them around depending on the situation.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Make the grenade launcher a viable weapon for more than just Sulaco defenses.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):The least used spec weapon would be used given more variety to the rounds.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Magical coding, probably the best way to see what you had load would be when you examine it it'll say and then to change it you'd have to unload them all or have a unique action where you can swap it around?

reduce the delay between firing the grenades, because aliens literally get the fuck up before you land another shot. this makes this weapon useless.
alternatively, reset/up the alien stun they take from the explosions, read above. I've had the carrier I've fragged stand up what, 3 seconds after and I still wasn't able to finish him off because muh delay. Same with the queen.

+1. this gun needs some love, as of right now it's only useful when paired with the SADAR.

There is a pinned topic suggesting a rework.
