XCOM 2
How to get more Frost Bombs?
Got that Utility from a mission and they are awesome. Saved my squad's hides many times in tight situations.

I want more units to carry those. How do i find/research/craft more?

By Vanilla you cant, it like the other weapons is a unique item. With mods potentially you can. There are several "frost" related ones that i can think of but i don't know exactly which ones as i don't use them.
Ah R.I.P. I'll be sure to equip it only on the Grenadier that has double grenade use skill to make most of it. And avoid getting him killed at all cost.

The closest you can get to having more of them, is to equip the one you have in the "grenade only slot" of a grenadier with the Heavy Ordnance ability.
it is a hunter "weapon" from the DLC with the Rulers. if you are still puzzled where you got it from.
If you aren't opposed to console commands, type this in:

AddItem Frostbomb 1

in the xcomwotc game file find DLC folder, DLC2, CONFIG folder, the open XComGameData_WeaponData.inn and find frost bomb at the bottom of the page. Change FROSTBOMB_ICLIPSIZE = 1 to how many you want mine is FROSTBOMB_ICLIPSIZE = 4 which will give you 4 grenades, on one soldier. THEY CAN ONLY BE CARRIED BY ONE PERSON, NOT 1 GRENADE ON FOUR PERSONS.
So no legit way to get more. Ok.
Thanks all for the info tho i won't cheat or mod on 1st playthrough

The closest things to getting more (without cheating or mods) would be.

The Serpent Suit you get from killing the Snake Ruler. Single use, single target and has a percent-to-hit, but does the same thing and is a free action to use.
The Psi Operative ability Stasis. Not exactly the same, but if you want to remove an enemy from the fight for a turn it'll at least do that part of the job. It also has a cooldown for repeat use.

My grenadiers have grenade bonuses that don't apply to the frost bomb, so I give it to my skirmisher with the two early grenade perks - so he has two frost bombs and can throw further than other non-grenadier soldiers. I'm playing lwotc 1.2.

Don't know about lwotc but in unmodded wotc grenadier bonuses do work for Frost Bombs. They get 2 uses. "Seabreeze" my grenadier can pop 2 per mission if they are in true grenade slot and not the utility slot.

Oh right i think i haven't done the Viper King autopsy yet. Got sidetracked by breakthroughs and inspired researches. Going to do that the next chance i get.

There are grenadier perks that make grenades do more shredding and/or damage which don't apply to frost bombs. If I have just one plasma grenade and one frost bomb I'm giving the plasma to the grenadier and the frost bomb to the skirmisher. Both will have two uses.

There's also void conduit for templars which is more similar to frost bombs in that the enemy can still be targeted - unlike stasis.

Don't these specific bonuses work regardless of slot?

I've been equipping my grenadier with Frost Bomb in gren slot and frag grenade in utility slot. So i have 2 frost bombs and 1 Frag per mission.

I also like it on Grenadiers due to range. I can launch the Frost Bomb very far without needing to expose my grenadier too much.
