A while back it was stated by a DEV (IIRC) that they looked into implementing two grenade slots but could not find a satisfactory means for a player to switch between grenades.
I believe I have the solution:
- Press and Hold R2: bring up Weapon/Equipment radial menu
- Press and Hold L2: switches radial menu to Grenade radial menu
- Toggle Right Thumb-stick Left for Grenade Slot A or Right for Grenade Slot B
It works the same way pressing R2/R3 for Squad Commands does, just a different button and resulting menu.
L2 is already the default grenade button so it is intuitive as well.
Just a thought.

Instead of creating a menu for it, why not just TOGGLE the selected grenade if you press the "throw grenade button" (L2 in your case) while the weapon wheel is up?
No new art asset required, less button holding and more fluid. Opinions?

There is a two grenade slot solution. Grenades in the grenade slot and Re's in the equipment slot, there you go. Everybody does it now, you have one grenade and one super grenade. you can also switch it out and carry AV grenades and the super grenade.

Because there is no grenade slot in the standard W/E radial menu. Toggling with L2 will show now visible ques that you have indeed switched from one grenade to the other, nor will you know for sure which you have selected when finished.
Again, IIRC the problem was in the need to rework the W/E radial to add two more slots for grenades, which was too much trouble (as you said, new art assets and all).
What I have suggested also uses existing art assets. The heavy dropsuit weapon radial menu (only two choices; one on each side) would appear, but with simple grenade icons in the place of weapons.
