Balancing Engineer weapon choices.

[Swordbreaker]

Grenade has been for quite a while the mocked ugly cousin of Engineer weapon choices, only used by tradeskillers or people who, for whatever reason, choose to stay Grenade even if it means their DD is generally reduced. Since the balancing act is going to turn Demolitions into a Grenade only perk line, which means it's out of the question for most Engineers, be it PvP or PvM, since pistols and a whole range of other weapons are generally a lot better... Here's an idea to make Grenade more appealing, at least for the PvM crowd.

Just make a version of Sloth with Burst on it! You already made a ton of other weapons better through upgrades, why not Sloth as well.

I would rather this perkline just be opened back up to all weapons, and or only 2 hand weapons.

The Install Explosives is a "Use Item" not "Shoot Pew Pew Shell" perk. Why its range was 4m, because the player was installing explosives on the target.

I say returned the 4 Install Perks to any weapon choice, while leaving Boom Boom, to a Grenade weapon.

Sure, I'd rather this as well, but if they're hell bent on it anyway, I guess it'd also be nice to have some balance in the weapons so using a Grenade weapon isn't an instant "lol I suck" statement.

For the sake of balance Im thinking MA Eng should stay how it is as its very powerful in PvM currently, though needs some work in PvP.
