the grenade is replaced with the energy orb from HL2. you may have fired them all or you are not holding the button. (thats how you fire them)

So, when you hold AR2, apparently it removes your ability to throw grenades as well as does no melee damage

Please tell me that both of those things were a deliberate design choice to make AR2 reminiscent of its HL2 origin as in that game you have neither a quick grenade throw button, nor a quick melee attack one

It seems there is a variant of the AR2 that gets regular grenades however, if that is a bug consider me annoyed as the rifle itself is pretty meh in my experience on legendary and the selling point is the pondering the forbidden orb.

The lack of melee damage appears to have been a bug. The patch notes suggests that it's been fixed: "- The AR2 has been given it's missing melee damage tag"

"What a shame."

There are two variants of the AR2 in Cursed Halo Again; the regular AR2 and a special AR2.

The regular AR2 blocks your ability to throw grenades, instead replacing them with 5 energy orbs, which are fired by holding the grenade button.

The special AR2 does not block your ability to throw grenades, and fires the energy orbs as its' standard projectile.

I always forgot the special one fired orbs, tossed it as useless as a result so many times my first legendary campaign...
