Revision as of 00:17, 16 May 2017

Serving as our demolitions experts, the Grenadiers provide heavy ordnance delivery whenever and wherever we need it. They may also specialize in support grenades to protect our troops and disable our enemies.

Grenadier: Primary: Rifle(default), SMG or Shotgun; Secondary: Grenade Launcher

The Grenadier is a versatile fire-support class that leans much more heavily on its grenade launcher than the Vanilla Grenadier to influence the battle. While they can cart an impressive amount of grenades, care must be take to ensure they are not exposed to heavy enemy attack when heavily specialized in them, as they tend not to have inventory room for protective vests or plating.

"Boomer" type Grenadiers (Left branch) are demolition experts, capable of breaking any enemy position with a well placed grenade, but have less to offer squadmates in need of cover or concealment, as well as limited utility once their grenades run out.

"Support" type Grenadiers (Right branch) deploy non-lethal grenades to awe-inspiring effect, capable of bringing an entire alien squad to their knees (literally) with Sting grenades or shielding allies from effective enemy fire with Dense Smoke and Ghost Grenades, but are less capable when raw damage is called for.

Grenadiers can carry a standard rifle, shotgun, or SMG for regular combat, and some center branch perks improve the primary weapon's utility and the Grenadier's personal defenses. Consider these perks if you want to deploy the soldier in the front line of a battle rather than the middle or back lines, or have the Grenadier be an effective threat once his/her grenades are expended.

Grenadiers are more expensive than standard for infiltration. Consider swapping out a Grenadier for a less explosive class (or equipping them with an SMG) if you need to trim a few hours off your infiltration timer.
