You know I keep hearing this, but I've always wondered....how would this work? How would you select what grenade you want to throw?
Like my ideas?

I mean the idea of grenade bonuses, like damage, capacity, blast radius? Sounds good.
But I keep hearing people call for a second grenade slot and I'm just not seeing how to pull that off given the way grenades work in this game, so I'm just trying to be reasonable in regards to what can actually happen and will work.

I replied to a topic like this before, let's all remember these definitive answers.
Does anyone else love how snarky and openly annoyed Rattati gets? Its awesome.

less important than other things? of course.... I'm not an idiot... but it certainly would help define the assault suit.
make one an av nade slot... that would be a very cool feature for assaults imo...
Answer my question then, how would the game mechanic work for double grenades? How would you select which grenade to throw?

Pretty sure a second grenade slot would require a substantial UI rework, as you cannot select which grenade you wish to use currently. add it to the equipment and gun wheel...
That's not a hotfixable change. The positions on the wheel are tied to the equipment and weapons. The grenade assets have zero connection to the wheel, and thus can't be swapped in like that. That means a client-side change would need to happen, and that cant happen.
Since Double grenade is physically not an options, lets have a discussion about other ways we can make Assaults good at using grenades. Id be all for a +% Damage and/or +% Blast Radius per level, as well as a +2 Carry Capacity flat bonus (not per level).

Lets be honest, the reason a client update wont happen is because its time consuming and expensive, and they don't have the resources to pull it off. Sorry to say but the ones making the calls when it comes to finances is CCP upper management, and they don't care if you get double grenades, they care that Dust doesn't spend too much money at this stage of the game.

I know there are a lot of things people want to do that would require a client update, but keep in mind there are plenty of things that can be done server side as well that will still make the game better. For example you may want double grenades to make Assaults good with grenades, I totally get that. While its not the same solution, we can still make Assaults good at grenades by giving them grenade bonuses, and that CAN be done through the server.
Similar outcome, much more convenient means to reach it. I love those kinds of solutions.

I'd actually give them +2 personally, not per level mind you, just +2 flat bonus.
Give them Damage bonuses and suddenly your Assault suit has its own little niche of AV with AV Grenades, it would be sweet.

I figured give Assaults a Grenade bonus and give Logistics a Remote/Proximity mine bonus. Gives some unique capabilities to each to match the Direct/Indirect (respectfully) means of combating infantry and vehicles.
