I think a grenade launcher would be a great addition to special weapons
What do you guys have to say about this? Personally, I think the idea of a single shot grenade launcher (a la Reach, minus the remote detonation feature - save that for a possible exotic) would be dope. I envision two archetypes: a single grenade, and a rapid burst type that launches three weaker grenades similar to a pulse rifle. Again I feel that they should be single shot, meaning that once you fire you will need to reload. The grenades would behave similarly to flash bang, suppressor, and incendiary grenades in that they will bounce once and the detonate a short time after, however since they will be fired out of a "gun" they will have the ability to travel further and faster than hand thrown grenades. Additionally, if you hit a guardian/enemy directly the grenade will detonate on contact.
Edit: Seems like every other person is screaming Noob Tube on this thread, my only response is that too many of you guys played COD, which explains this community's obsession with quick time to kill primaries :/
At any rate, Destiny, at least at the moment is not Call of Duty, so the fears of a noob tube are pretty unfounded. I think Destiny's movement options and higher health pool should be enough to dispel any fears of a noob tube. Again, if you guys ever played Halo Reach then you'd know the general performance I'd expect these weapons to have.

Edited by SuggestedPigeon: 4/24/2016 11:44:12 PMWell since snipers/shotguns only get about 6-7 rounds at spawn now if grenade launchers were in destiny and had about 5 rounds at spawn it would work. There's already a mess of OHK weapons so we may as well. Range, blast radius, and rate of fire are all things that need to be closely looked at but I could see a few archetypes that focused on one but sucked in the other two. Also: exotic grenade launcher that fires your equipped grenade. May need to go in the heavy slot but possibly not. Oh and these are vanilla grenades, not affected by things like sunbreakers (the exotic) or subclass perks.

This is the NERF police. Can't wait to get my hands on it...... (Mwah ha ha ha haaaaaahhh!!!)

It would be an excellent edition to your arsenal but could Bungie balance it properly? I say no.
-
Fire bolt grenade launcher lol
-
Nah it would be heavy. Only difference would be more shots but shorter range. Lick a big drop.

1 Replymake them heavy and your gtg

That and another primary like an smg

1 ReplyTwo weeks it would be cried about too much, and then nerfed into a pillow launcher.

I like this plan. Bump.

Add a Fat Man Nuke Launcher!!!
-
1 round per magazine and 5-7 rounds in reserve would be pretty fair. The grenades would function like the incendiary grenades (but come in all 3 elements).

Agreed

It would be fun to use the Boomer's weapon.

3 RepliesPlay a solar warlock and take the talent that reduces ability cooldowns while radiance is active. Theres your grenade launcher.

1 ReplyYes, absolutely. I loved the grenade launcher from Reach, and it would definitely be a cool special option for PvP and PvE.

2 RepliesWhat about machine Pistols

4 RepliesI would rather it be a heavy, because if it's a secondary then that would scream nerf :/
-
Yep. It should be done. Normal explosion? 127 damage on near explosion? no burn? Absolutely! It would be the dumbest one on one weapon, but an amazing support weapon. (Awesome in control).
-
People would be crying nerf before anyone even got the gun.
