Premise; So with the Combi-Bolter (Boltrifle with Grenade launcher) being gutted in terms of its ammo, I have heard a lot of disappointed people - some who may have overused it and some like myself who enjoy the combi weapon aspect as it is the only one in the game. The recent nerf to damage, I find, is balanced and puts it in line with other weapons; however, the ammo is a major issue as you run out within one or two fights and cannot restore it until you hit a drop pod restore - I have unfortunately had people tell me to change to plasma or stalker and threaten to kick me if I didn't.


So here is my idea on how to make it fair but fun;

Have the grenade launcher work on a reload system of the magazine (4 rounds) that way, you can have the perk give four grenades, and the reload mechanic interrupts the spam-ability of it, which was a main detractor in the eyes of most, and then give it one extra so you have 3 'drums' in total.


tl;dr, Give the grenade launcher a 4-round mag reload system as shown on the model, up the rounds by 1 to 12 in total and have the ammo perk restore four rounds to meet this mag size.

​I tested the grenade launcher after the update. I can say that now it is heaven and earth. It is very good now. There is no grenade spamming like before. Now the player will think when it is worth using it and when not. Instead of firing it like a machine gun.

Originally the developers should have limited the grenade launcher to 4 charges. 9-11 charges is too much.

Agreed, it is supposed to be a variant of bolt rifle, not an actual grenade launcher.
That being said, bolt weapons are still underwhelming, they need a bit of stagger(which is crucial in higher difficulties) and a bit of more damage. If they wont get any stagger, then need more than a bit of more damage because it takes too long to kill majoris+ and you can't get your contested health fast enough even when fighting against one single chaos space marine directly, which is awful considering you're the protagonist and you should mostly be challenged by the horde concept not individual enemies(unless they are extremis or terminus) in a horde shooter game.
