This “grenade” is a throwable used primarily to distract enemies. Mostly harmless, it “explodes” and spawns a realistic-looking holographic decoy that draws aggro so that the user can slip away in the confusion.

Parts Used

I started with the base game Pulse Grenade mesh and simply made both ends symmetrical. I then retextured the torus shape using the glowing texture of the Alien Power Cell, to suggest a holographic emitter on each end.

Perks and Challenges

The following properties, perks and challenges apply to this weapon:

• Improved Holdout Weapon
• Loose Cannon

Usage Notes

Attacking with this weapon is considered a “Minor Crime”, meaning that only the victim will become aggressive without turning their entire faction hostile.

By default, the decoy hologram only lasts for thirty seconds. This can be changed by entering the console command set aaaGLOBHologramDecoyLifetime to # where # is any numerical value. The default value is 30.
