The Smoke Launcher is a rail attachment]].
When fired, a light smoke grenade is launched forward from the weapon which lightly damages enemies on direct hit and, after traveling at least ten meters, creates a cloud of smoke upon contact with any surface. The grenade has a lifespan of 30 seconds, allowing it to effectively land at any distance it can reach. If the grenade somehow manages to avoid striking a surface for 30 seconds, it will dissipate harmlessly.
Weapons equipped with a Smoke Launcher suffer a 250ms (0.25s) penalty to their equip time.
To use an underbarrel attachment, press the weapon's Gear Slot hotkey (Gear Slot 1 (1 by default) if primary, 
Gear Slot 2 (2 by default) if secondary) whilst the parent weapon is held in hand.

- Ammo restocking time from 4sec. to 5sec.
Dev Note: Some weapons shared this reload time already, but we've done a pass to put the others in parity. This change matches the reload times with underbarrel grenade launchers.
