[WOTC] Wrist-Mounted Grenade Launcher

Description
Commander, some of our soldiers are asking for an alternative to our grenade launchers... They say their armor is getting in the way? I've repurposed our gauntlets to launch grenades with the same expected distance and explosive potential. This should allow our troops to leave the bulkier launchers behind.
- Shen

Introduces Wrist-Mounted Grenade Launchers
Many of the characters available on the workshop are limited in class choice due to potential clipping due of secondary weapons like the grenade launcher. These wrist-mounted launchers aim to alleviate that concern while maintaining expected gameplay. Each gauntlet should overlap well if you decide to equip soldiers with heavy armors, too.

New Content
Conventional Wrist-Mounted Grenade Launcher
  • Available at the start of the game.
  • Has the same distance and explosive potential of the tier 1 grenade launcher.
Magnetic Wrist-Mounted Grenade Launcher
  • Available at the same time of building the Tier 2 Grenade Launcher
  • Has the same distance and explosive potential of the tier 2 grenade launcher.
Powered Wrist-Mounted Grenade Launcher
  • Available at the building of the Tier 3 Warden Armor
  • Has the same distance and explosive potential of the tier 2 grenade launcher.
  • Intended to match cosmetically while keeping balance intact.

Additional Details
This will seamlessly integrate into a current or new campaign.

Please let me know if you encounter any bugs or discrepancies. I hope you enjoy!

Installed this into an existing campaign and it broke a few of UI images for other weapons (plasma shorty and advanced vibroblade from the LW2 Secondary Weapons mod). Not sure if the mod needs to be updated or it's just a kink in my modlist, but it seems like it should easy to fix on my own if someone can point me to the right files. It's a minor problem that doesn't affect gameplay (the only difference is seeing the rainbow "img" object instead of the correct item).

Otherwise, it's a fantastic addition and works just fine (and thanks for making it). I would even say it's aesthetically mandatory for running Krogans and Turians with grenade builds.

does anybody know how to config so that the armory autoselects this equipment for my grenadiers instead of the conventional one?

Haave you thought of add a movement boost since the grenadiers aren't carrying around a second heavy piece of equipment?

Hi @NightNinja54, I wonder if there is an easy way to make this a unique secondary rather than a cosmetic alternative?

can you add compatibility with the Beam Grenade Launcher mod so that the T3 Wrist-Mounted Launcher functions like the Beam Grenade Launcher

im having a strange bug where some soldiers seem to be auto unequipping the wrist launcher after mission but the game still thinks they are carrying it so i cant use the normal or wrist variant but they also dont actually get the benefit of the launcher. not 100% sure on what causes it but i think it has to do with using a pistol as a primary

used this in lwotc in combination with iridars rockets... the most fun and eye pleasing campaign in a while - I am beyond happy you made this, I hate the vanilla launchers with a passion.

here we are years later I can finally play a true BIG BOOM heavy.

In theory!

@Yhoko
I feel like I've encountered that before - weird side effect

Is this compatible with Xskin? is it available for grenade launchers as a skin if I use it?
