The Legend of Catachan's signature starting weapon is Frag Grenade. Steam hotfix v2.1.6 corrects a bug where the rescued character attacked with Chainsword instead. If you saw that behavior before the hotfix, it is a documented issue rather than proof that grenades were removed.
Check platform and version first
The hotfix announcement applies immediately to Steam and schedules other stores and consoles for the following week. A console or mobile build may therefore behave differently on November 12. Check the installed version before expecting the Steam fix to be present everywhere.
Do not delete a save to troubleshoot the wrong attack. Keep the platform, version and rescue circumstances when reporting it through the developer's official feedback form.
Grenade evolution is a separate step
The original October table pairs Frag Grenade with Bandolier to make Ripper Pistol. The release table corroborates the recipe, lists the grenade at level 8 and retains the base attack. The grenade guide distinguishes that information from an October player's additional max-passive claim.
Demo boundaries
The Legend of Catachan was one of the two newly highlighted champions for the October demo. That does not prove a particular rescue location or enemy-wave count in every released stage. Demo progression does not transfer to the full game. A rescued ally, a selectable champion and a weapon choice during a run are different stages of progression, so check the actual objective shown by your build.
