Underbarrel Grenade launcher

[velvet wren]

An underbarrel grenade launcher that can go on assault rifles, with the DOWNSIDE of getting rid of your throwable grenades in exchange for the ones used in the launcher. Granting you longer range and better aim, but at the cost of not having another underbarrel and replacing your normal grenades.

I completely understand it this isnt added or even considered, but if it is for the love of god do not let people launch flashbangs

[vernal nymph]

I like it 👍

[weak crane]

I like it too

Some may call it nube tubes. I would call it game variety

[lone carbon]

Sweet now I can impact people faster and farther shits too easy

[weak crane]

Just make it destroyable by trophy

[lone carbon]

Imma go full robo cat with that

[fickle egret]

yes

as a shotgun supporter i approve

[fluid terrace]

A good underbarrel grenade launcher would ya look at that

I can finally have underbarrel MP5 nade launcher

Make it use your throw grenade as ammo with increased range that would be the best way to do it balanced wise in my opinion

[unique coral]

This ones should be OP in most of games, but speed of games and speed of respawn makes it playable. Sniper could oneshot? Rpg could oneshot? Why not grenade? Still one shot. Thats the game.

instead

is an element of tactics.

1. parked on the point or near point. you have to capture to get control, or protect to prevent enemy simplification of clearing your point
2. this one is rarely spawned and could be used less risky than minigun one
3. this one is primary weapon and you become vulnerable on close distance, cus of grenade doesnt detonate on short distance and works simple as the thrown rock
4. this one could have small rate of fire and reloading like in APC, explodes only after the grenade bounces off the ground several times

not to say its bad but wouldent this just better becasue your still able to ads but with a granade that can go further then u can throw?

[fluid terrace]

He said the disadvantage of using it would be not having grips

And grips are usually half of what make a gun good

Seems like a fair tradeoff

I think another downside would be having to actually reload the launcher

Because of that you cannot spam grenades

Not only that, as drzevny said, it should also be destroyable by antinades

[fluid terrace]

Just to add, different grenade types in the nade launcher would be nice depending on what you have in the throwables slot (with exceptions of flashes and antivehicles):

• This is something from airsoft but I find it to be an interesting concept still: frag grenades will have a timer, they won't explode on impact. Not sure how long the timer should be tho. They should be definetly fast, but not too much so that you cant see it coming.
• Impact nades will work like actual nade launcher nades and explode on impact.
• Smoke grenades will work like they do on the already existing smoke launcher.

This is also going under the presumption that nearby enemies will hear an audible thump as it is fired

[rare harbor]

would rather have it as a gadget instead of the rpg. Faster use time, able to fire while laying down, faster reload and movement speed but less dmg against vehicles/structures and less range.

insurgency did them pretty good

@fluid terrace also grenade launcher make gun heavier. Much heavier.
Scope is uncomfortable IRL, but that one is hell

[mint sundial]

Not gonna lie in bad company 2 I played mainly assault because of the look of the guns with the grenade laucher

[dark ore]

It's not that much heavier. Obv for in game purposes ADS speed should be reduced but they're not that bad.

While I think the OP's ideas for UBGLs are really spot on with balance and gameplay variety, I do like AGS emplacements and vehicles armed with grenade launchers as a way to introduce new power vehicles to the game

Something like the Milkor revolving grenade launcher is a bit overkill and very spammy if you stacked engineers with those unless it had some serious ammo and mobility limitations

APC with smoke grenade modules

[toxic wren]

APCs and tanks both need a lot of QOL and capability buffs tbh

APCs much moreso than tanks, but tanks are just insanely squishy for what they are

Actually made a thread on it https://discord.com/channels/303681520202285057/1225560527724351579

[tulip hamlet]

iirc I mentioned on a post about APC having deployable smoke and potholes for passengers before

where the potholes can allow passenger to shoot out from but have a very limited firing angle

[toxic wren]

Even the old free to play battlefield game had that, it's a pretty simple feature that would add a lot of versatility to the APCs

[tulip hamlet]

right now passenger useless. and its even worst with APC back camping players

its fine if they back camp at a good spot, able to provide supporting fire + the spot is near objectives but most of the time they be sitting just outside main base

would be interesting to see another variant of APC

something similar to this

this apc have openings at the top as well

meaning players could potentially opt for better covering fire as they would be able to view every angle while firing from the top hole but will be more susceptible to enemy fire as they are more exposed

[fluid terrace]

Tbh having apc from where passangers could shoot from would be dope

[clear moat]

Basically bf1 heavy tanks

It could be either with machineguns or everyone can use their own guns to shoot the holes
