edgy ruin
What:
Craftable throwable "grenade" item that primarily is meant to generate noise for a short period of time.
Takes gunpowder, synthetic scrap, small metal scrap
Why:
Audio is such an important part of Marauders, things like hearing comms, gunfire, and of course, footsteps are vital to gameplay.
An item like this creates an interesting alternative to something like a flashbang, that we can use to disorient our opponents.
Need to reposition and want to be hard to track? Lob a firecracker to cover the sound of you leaving.
Or throw it aggressively to cover the sound of your approach.
This also has a positive bonus that, unlike the one sided disorientation of a flash bang, the person throwing this also gives themselves the same handicap of not being able to hear well, and could make it feel less oppressive.
