So i outfitted my rifleman with the backpack upgrade and now they have double grenades. I figured this would help push assaults by spamming a big smoke wall
The smoke grenades in this game are ineffective. Its simply a 6-8 foot tall ball of smoke. It doesnt actually occlude much of the area.
Smoke needs to have a much larger area of effect and it needs to sick around a bit longer. If you need to balance that by making smoke take time to “build up” that would be fine.
Well, the best way to use them as I somewhat figured that out, is that if you cook it, and than throw it, it stars popping smoke much faster, and above all, you can somewhat cover a fraction when the grenade is moving in the wanted direction.
But nontheless, I agree that smokes grenade should be bigger.
