Leadburster grenades cause Praetorian/Oppressor gas cloud to combust into ice

Steps to Reproduce

1. Kill a Praetorian or Oppressor. (I confirmed the bug occurs with either.)
2. Wait briefly for the gas cloud to disperse upon death.
3. Throw 2 or more Leadburster grenades into the approximate centre of the gas cloud, before it dissipates.

Explanation

Praetorian/Oppressor gas cloud combusts into ice when Leadburster grenades are thrown inside. Consistent with 2 grenades so long as they are thrown into the rough centre of the cloud (ie, most of the bullets from the grenade "hit" the gas cloud). There is also an odd accompanying visual effect in which the Leadburster bullets leave particles in the air, as if they had been stopped mid-air by hitting the gas cloud. The grenades do not need to be 'quick-thrown' via animation canceling as shown in the demonstration videos, so long as most bullets from both Leadbursters "hit" the gas cloud over its lifetime. Although I forgot to show the mod list in the 2nd clip, internally labeled "UNMODDED", it is in fact the vanilla game. Both clips are also in Hazard 5 Solo. I have not gotten this effect to occur with only 1 Leadburster grenade.
