[SA] Smoke Grenades

Recommended Posts

Just something I'd like to suggest in regards to Smoke Grenades in the Standalone.

Have three variants of Smoke Grenade:

M15 White Phosphorous. A bursting type grenade which uses white phospherus to generate thick plumes of white smoke. Players in close proximity of the grenade during the explosive reaction take severe damage from burns resulting from the chemical reaction of White Phosphorus reacting with the Air. These grenades can also double as Incendiary devices. This is the only smoke grenade which gaurantee's death if a person hangs around inside the smoke cloud long enough or suffer crippling and painful wounds.

M8 Smoke Grenades currently in use by the US Forces but being phased out for the M18. An emission type which gradually spews a smoke mixture which consists of hexachloroethane (HC). Causes intense coughing fits, eye irritation and skin irritation when a player walks through in the cloud.

M18 Smoke Grenade. A more modern emission type currently used by US forces and replacing the M8 which spews a less harmful smoke mixture than M8 Grenades resulting in less damaging effects.

In all however, Smoke Grenades besides the M15 White Phosphorus, do these effects:

  • Walking in the cloud for even but a moment results in the player suffering from eye irritation, breathing problems and skin irritation. The resulting effects would induce poor aim, lack of visual prowess and frequent coughing fits. This effect is generally temporary (exposure for a few seconds)

  • Prolonged exposure (30 seconds to 1 minute) can lead to chemical damage of the player characters lungs resulting in a permanant coughing fits and loss of eyesight for a long length of time.

  • Close proximity to a smoke grenade could induce chemical burns upon detonation, resulting in painful burns and possible bleeding wounds.

  • Smoke Grenades used in inclosed spaces risk a higher potential risk of danager to users in the area.

  • Smoke Grenades used in Dry areas pose an increase risk of starting fires.
