New type of grenades

[The Home Dog]

I was thinking that a sensor grenade would be great. It could either show you everything in the room or give a sort of wire frame outline of all the bad guys. Also I suppose the aliens could try to shoot it on the ground.

Yeah, that might be fun. There's a few other ideas for grenades I have (like a healing grenade) but those are features we'd start to consider once we've got the game out into Early Access I think!

I think a "healing grenade" is too far fetched and sounds a bit naff lol

Absolutely. I think Xenonauts should be profiled as something a bit more realistic and down to earth than new XCOM games or Phoenix Point for example.

I'm also not keen on a healing grenade.

An incendiary grenade (for HEVY too) would be nice though.

Proximity grenades, would be a great way to defend an area that you are not watching at this time, but would be a good warning!

You get Hand-Grenade-Upgrades and a lot of extra Stuff for your Soldiers.

The only Grenade-Advancement I think is for the Grenade-Launcher and an Rifle-Upgrade with Grenade-Launcher.

I am definitely keen on proximity grenades. And a nice touch would be directional (Claymore) ones.

After playing Modern Warfare II, I want Drill Charge grenades!  If you have not played that, these are devices you can throw onto a wall, and it drills through the wall and explodes damaging anyone on the other side.  Not sure if they're technically feasible to even make for this game, but it would be cool, although for balance reasons it could maybe only drill through man made walls, not spaceship hulls.

Why not flashbang grenades, suppresing the models that have line of sight to the point of the grenade going off

There are all ready Flash bangs grenades in the game, the one under the HE grenade, on the equipment screen.
