I think this is counter to the vision of a realistic, tactical shooter like Tarkov. You can throw them instantly with laser precision, and you can throw them ridiculously far. It would also make it easier to cycle through different grenade types.Īs it stands, every player is like the Randy Johnson of grenades.

This would also have the added effect of allowing you to cook grenades, and aim them more precisely. Having to put your weapon away to pull out a grenade would make using grenades a much more thoughtful action, and thus reduce grenade spam. Grenades are powerful, and using them should make you vulnerable while doing so. There is almost zero tradeoff to using grenades. In Tarkov, grenades are extremely effective (and rightfully so!), but because they can be thrown instantly they are easy to abuse. This functionality already exists in Tarkov if you hotkey grenades, but you still have the ability to instantly throw grenades without selecting them by pressing 'G'. In Counterstrike, Squad, Insurgency, etc., your character must first pull out a grenade into his hands before you can pull the pin and throw it.

In just about all modern tactical shooters, arcade-like to hardcore, grenades are separate items that must be deliberately selected before they can be used.
