Artifact Grenades!

[Kamikaze Mongoose]

We could use some more diversity in the tiny artifact department. Can you imagine if artifact grenades could be found and they had random damage, damage type, radius, effects, the whole nine yards? And then loading it into a grenade launcher! How sweet would that be?

[Carbadox]

Sounds good. I'd be interested in a random chem smoke grenade that uses the same whitelist as art beakers

[Recusor]

Yeah sounds cool, I agree re chemlist. Should not be scannable before using imo too.

[cyberTripping]

my question is how you'd figure out it's a grenade. Wouldn't it just be indistinguishable from seeds/cells until you prime it?

X-Ray machine has reliable artifact identification

[Kamikaze Mongoose]

If we make them tiny like art cells, it would be the difference between looking like it needs to be inserted and some other identifying message. Perhaps it looks vaguely foreboding or something?

[KikiMofo]

Because I always click on every handheld artifact to check if its a beaker artifact I can only imagine getting blown up by artifact grenades constantly. Would be funny

[Carbadox]

An undeterminable countdown timer would be neat

It could just not do 5 damage like artcells do.
