Is there a way to carry or use more temporary weapons, such as grenades, in a fight?

An attack has one Temporary slot, and no source found adds a second one^[1]. The one route found is a Handbag, whose Storage bonus is reported to let you use two temporaries in a fight, with an extra turn spent on the second.

The wiki (captured 2025-07) says you may equip up to four weapons, one each in Primary, Secondary, Melee and Temporary^[1]. TornLife found no upgrade, perk, education or merit that adds a second Temporary slot. That is an absence of sources, not a statement that none exists.

The Handbag workaround

• The Handbag is a Melee Clubbing weapon. Its Storage bonus, as listed on the wiki in 2023, lets you use two temporary items in a fight. The second costs an additional turn to withdraw.
• After you use a temporary, a melee attack re-equips another one instead of dealing a damaging hit. The wiki in 2025 says only the same type can be re-equipped (flash grenade then flash grenade, not then smoke grenade), and you need at least one more of it in inventory.
• Andyman's 2019 build guide describes a "Grenadier" build: a Handbag, two Nail Bombs and 10/10 temporary mastery. A budget version uses regular Grenades or HEGs. This is his opinion. He calls it unconventional, very expensive to maintain and unreliable against high-defense players.

Which temporaries

• Smoke Grenade is a debuff item with 200.00 accuracy. It reduces the opponent's Speed to 1/3rd for 120 - 180 seconds^[2].
• One 2025 forum table notes that merits do not affect non-damaging temporaries such as smoke grenades. Temporary Mastery therefore helps only damaging ones. This is a player report.
