Throwable idea: Tear Gas Grenade
A non-lethal but more aggressive alternative to smoke grenades, a tear gas grenade could function as a safer way to clear a room or deny cover. More expensive than smokes and tasers, perhaps, but a cheaper alternative to other non-lethal options such as buying a shotgun and loading beanbag rounds
Additionally, it could be possibly be implemented into the Lookout’s loadout pool, making them less predictable whether they will toss a flashbang or gas grenade to push players out of cover, as some extraction locations offer some points of cover that are currently difficult for the AI to crack. It could be a slow damage-over-time effect that bypasses armor while the cloud obstructs player vision (similar to a standard smoke grenade), forcing players to move or take a significant amount of health damage should they try to wait out the cloud.

Thank you so much for the feedback! I’m happy to report that we introduced the first iteration of the Tear Gas Grenade in our most recent update. We are collecting more feedback on this feature so I’ll merge this in with others.
