New Grenade Type
I think it would be cool if they added a "Bouncing Betty" type grenade. Since they already have a "HOT" & a "SHOCK" grenade, maybe something "COLD" that freezes you in place for a second or 2. Or ma...

@Lord_Scorpion34 A bouncing Betty is more of a trap.
I doubt people would be happy if they added more traps to the game.
Being frozen for a second can be extremely powerful.
If it was just plain explosive, then it probably isn’t necessary, as we already have enough explosives.

@Sir_Named Betties can be used as a grenade. Have you not played Borderlands?
- @Lord_Scorpion34 Oh, I thought you were referring to irl bouncing betties.
Looking those up, they’re fairly different from real life ones. Irl, you wouldn’t use it as a grenade.
It could maybe work, but it doesn’t seem like it brings anything wildly new to the table. The actual effect of spraying low damage shrapnel would just be like a normal explosion.- @Sir_Named Not necessarily. With a Betty (depending on the range they would decide on), you could hit multiple squads with 1 grenade. Maybe freeze would be too much but maybe some other element or dart damage. Plus you couldn't just hide behind a wall to avoid it. You would have to make sure you have cover over head like with Gibraltar's & Bangalore's ults.
- @Lord_Scorpion34 Ah, so a very large aoe grenade. In that case, freeze would definitely not work, unless it was for less than a second. I would suggest that it slows enemies, but 😇 the arc star does that already and (b) depending on how strong the slow is it could be too powerful.
Depending on how high it is, you might need overhead cover. I doubt you’ll need overhead cover though.
Like Eurlannd said, this would also be major incentive to play Wattson.
