In their other game, Arc Raiders, they added a trailblazer grenade that spreads gas which explodes after a short delay of being ignited causing serious damage
I agree, gas has been really underwhelming for a long time now, mostly because it's just way too easy to counter it. Pretty much every team you run into will have at least one source of fire, which just instantly negates the gas cloud basically for free. Meanwhile, fire will go basically unchallenged because nobody runs smokes.
To be fair, I think Pyro is also pretty bad, and it's almost a detriment to make a team run it to counter your gas. It just sucks that the response to one bad gadget is another bad gadget.
This has always been what I expected from that gas+fire interactionand i'm impressed embark never implemented this
An explosion should deal damage, not just signal that gas is gone
