I am against grenade launchers.
First of all, low tier grenades should be in where they belong: That is, garbage can after first few hours.
Some things are just worthless to pick up - like low grade armor parts. You can't expect every grade of grenade to have same amount of effectiveness.
AND most of all, it will make throwing useless. Actually scratch that. It will make Gun the best skill over any other ranged combat skills.
Throwing has always been the AoE with utility like flashbang and molotov, and sometimes flat damage with HE, etc. Gun just provides viable high mechanical damage in the early game, and utility later with red/green bullets and custom bullets, as well as damage variation using chemical pistols.
If grenade launcher is to be implemented, why even bother with crossbow or throwing when Gun can singlehandedly cover AoE accuracy and AoE damage, utility with special bullets/chemical pistols and highest ranged damage?
Edit: Whoops, forgot that gun also provides utility with chemical pistols.
