Cryo (freeze) grenade 🧊

Remember the new throwable that was leaked (mid 2021) in the files, the cryo grenade? It turns out it was removed already. It has the ability to slow down enemies and can freeze doors. Sounds familiar? The cryo grenade was supposed to be the legend Lockdown’s kit. Later on lockdown was renamed into Catalyst and changed the ice technology with fero fluid technology.

 I appreciate behind the scenes stuff like this.

Scrapped legend turned into Catalyst abilities LOCKDOWN:

- PAS: Cryo Barricade, freeze doors making them unopenable but breakable
- TACT: Cryo Grenade, freeze deathboxes & loot bins (unusable), also freeze players after a delay
- ULT: Cryo Wall, a wall of ice that cannot be climbed on, still breakable (high HP)

Do you prefer Catalyst’s aesthetic of fero fluid just like the villain in Big Hero 6 or do you prefer the ice powers look?
