As an alternative to smoke grenades, how about a cloaking grenade?
The grenade would have an area of effect defined by a certain radius around the grenade. Anyone looking through the area of effect would see nothing out of the ordinary, however he/she would be unable to see any players within or behind the area of effect. Any players within the area of effect would be unable to see other players, but other players wouldn't be able to see them. Finally, it would apply equally to all players. If the effect is too powerful it can be balanced by the radius of the effect, the duration of the effect, and the number of grenades carried.
Any thoughts or opinions? |

It seems like the only true benefit to this then would be to have a team-designated location within an area where one could go to have their Player or Vehicle's armor repaired by Logi's. Obviously the enemy would not be able to find them unless they accidentally walked into the area or had a Counter-Module to the device. I just can't foresee how it would be implemented or even rationalized in the Dust/EVE universe/lore. Like why those inside can't see players outside (but we know that if they did this would cause an OP issue). |

I was thinking something a lot less permanent than what you seem to have in mind. I was thinking more like 10 seconds of cloak to allow you to move across a certain area unseen, similar to what a smoke grenade does in other games but without the smoke.
I have no idea how it would fit in to the lore though. |

If you could explain more that'd help. lol I'm not seeming to understand what you mean. I see the fallacy of my post in having the impression the cloak field would last longer rather than temporary from a "cloak grenade", though in rethinking the idea perhaps its possible for a Cloak Generator as a Module that produces the effect I mentioned up to a certain radius and....
For the idea of a "Cloak Grenade", perhaps rather than a full on cloak it could be similar to the distorted light waves like one would see coming off pavement on a hot day but with the area similar to that of a smoke grenade. |

A shimmer effect could work, I'm ok with that. |

I'm thinking more multispectral grenade as shown in Burning Life. Can be set to several different settings before being tossed out including a dazzle effect...aka flashbang. Though with the suits not sure how well that would work. Baseliners it would effect very well since they're not augmented nor wearing armor. |
