New Item - Flare grenade?

[Comet King]

Who would like for a future item to be a flare that takes up your grenade slot?
Zero damage, just makes an area bright and clear smoke-like affects.

thermite grenade exists.

i would like some kind of equipment made for illuminating areas, but not in the form of a grenade

That'd be real neat especially for the Meridia super colony where it's so dark and spore filled.

I half expect the smoke to shoot out in rainbow colors at this point

What about a stratagem that's is freely available in night missions, the eagle comes by and drops a line of flares, illuminating a wide area for a little while.
This way the player doesn't lose out on any strat slots or equipment.

im pretty sure thats already a stratagem that is planned, keep in mind we still got the flare from the stratagem hero that we are waiting about

Sadly those flashlights are Videogame grade, they stop illuminating after short distance...

Glare Grenade and Glare Gun, and yes I accidentally typo'd those but I don't care because they sound cool.

Like DRG, but also like some movie I saw once where they threw this ball of light and it hovered some 100 feet into the air and cast light over a wide area.

Throw grenade, it flies into the air and puts out a lot of light.

Fire Glare from gun, it flies higher and further and puts put even more light.

Also, perhaps we could get an Airstrike from Eagle-1, the Glarestrike, it does a typical bombing run but drops like five Glares in a row for maximum illumination.

Side effect of revealing invisible enemies like Stalkers and Illuminant enemies while breaking their ability to go invisible for a duration.

Mite b kool?

[coolman552]

we need some sort of area illuminator, im tired of using 500kgs as improvised flares

I'd love to say this would be "lit" but I'm cringing before I've even hit "Post Comment". I think it's a very fun solution that I'd rather use than throwing a grenade that spawns a lightbox at a location.

I would like if we could get a little nade - flaregun that can attract enemies away from a spot (ex: near a Hellbomb). This would help solo-Helldivers who want to use stealth to complete their mission as well.
Of course, so that it doesn't become useless, the said nade - flaregun shouldn't trigger a breach - unless the one who used it was spotted.
