It’s a bit annoying to place them down beneath you. It would be really cool if we could chuck them from a few meters away and then shoot them.
As for the animation, I thought it could be changed to something similar to the character Caustic from Apex Legends throwing his Gas Tanks:
Now what remains to be decided is if they will be stationary after landing or if they will be affected by physics and maybe roll down a hill. I’m personally all for having them be affected by physics, but feel free to tell me your opinions!
Throwing them from windows and doorways would also be very useful. Dropping them off balconies and out of high windows would also be handy.
This might take a bit of control as to how hard to throw/drop them, but currently its just not possible to deploy something like this from within a structure without blowing yourself up by deploying it right against the wall.
