They may also specialize in support grenades to protect our troops and disable our enemies.'''''</div>

==Class Overview== 

The Grenadier is a versatile fire-support class that leans much more heavily on its grenade launcher than the Vanilla Grenadier to influence the battle. While they can cart an impressive amount of grenades, care must be take to ensure they are not exposed to heavy enemy attack when heavily specialized in them, as they tend not to have inventory room for protective vests or plating.

"Boomer" type Grenadiers are explosive experts, maximizing on the lethality of their grenades. They deliver on-demand highly damaging explosives that can deal with groups of enemies but are otherwise rendered useless once expended.

"Trooper" type Grenadiers are demolition experts, capable of breaking any enemy position with a well placed grenade and taking advantage with reaction shots. Unlike other types, their grenades do not improve much beyond cover destruction but combined with their primary weapon allows them to take full advantage of enemies being exposed in addition to still being capable of covering the squad even when they are out of grenades. 

"Support" type Grenadiers deploy non-lethal grenades to awe-inspiring effect, capable of bringing an entire alien squad to their knees (literally) with Sting grenades or shielding allies from effective enemy fire with Dense Smoke and Ghost Grenades, but are less capable when raw damage is called for.

Grenadiers are more expensive than standard for infiltration. Consider swapping out a Grenadier for a less explosive class (or equipping them with an SMG) if you need to trim a few hours off your infiltration timer.

===Weapons===

'''Primary''': [[Weapons_(LWOTC)#Assault_Rifles|Rifles]], [[Weapons_(LWOTC)#Submachine_Guns|SMGs]], [[Weapons_(LWOTC)#Shotguns|Shotguns]].

'''Secondary''': [[Weapons_(LWOTC)#Grenade_Launchers|Grenade Launcher]]

Grenadiers can carry a standard rifle, shotgun, or SMG for regular combat, and some center branch perks improve the primary weapon's utility. Consider these perks if you want to deploy the soldier in the front line of a battle rather than the middle or back lines, or have the Grenadier be an effective threat once their grenades are expended.

The Grenadier's Grenade Launcher improves the range at which they can launch grenades over the other classes, as well as the radius of effect of said grenades. The Grenade Launcher also enables a special grenade-only slot in their inventory. Several perks increase the number of grenades available, the range they can be launched at, or their radius.
