People are confounding two different arguments. A confounder is a variable that masks the effect of the variable that you are attempting to analyse in case you don't know.

Few if ANY people complain about grenade damage or radius, some may but MOST DO NOT.

The variable in question the one that has made nades become the new FOTM is the 2 SEC TIMER(and IMO the nade physics--the way they skip). The moment they touch the ground they detonate in 2s, the physics compensate for a short throw by skipping and by the time the 2s are up the nade is even closer making it almost impossible to avoid(especially since you cant sprint backwards).

Threads on the nades existed before the wipe and have been popping up ever since chromosome released where they specially note that nade detonates x seconds after contact unless cooked.(the x is 2s we know this now).

This was likely done with regards to QQ over fused locus nades which blow up on impact(in fact those are actually worse than 2s nades because they arent forgiving on a poor throw). If you make a poor toss on the fused it blows up right away, if you make a poor toss on the regular locus nades they hop and blow up 2s later making them even more forgiving for unskilled players.


The argument made by many isnt that nades should be reduced in damage or radius,(again some will make this argument in response to the nadespam but they dont consider the true variable that creates this current state of beta)

Unequivocally it is the 2s timer for which grenades need to be changed. The timer MUST go back to 4-5s on contact with ground UNLESS COOKED. This reduces panic nading and forces players to develop SKILL IN NADE TOSSING. There is a difference.


Edit- They also noted that thukkar locus nades were made available in market with chromosome but it is not there, so i wonder if this current iteration is what they want to do with the thukkar and are simply only making this one variation avaliable to us for data gathering purposes(fingers crossed).]]> Sun, 20 Jan 2013 16:42:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/354222 <![CDATA[Grenades - by James-5955]]> https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=479084#post479084 Kreayshawn Coruscanti wrote:

I heard that later on fuse grenades (the ones that blow up on contact) will be able to be bought with isk. That sounds terrible, unless something about them is changed because they're.. just, ridiculous. It's annoying how right now you can only get them by buying a merc pack, the most ridiculous weapon in the game and it's obtainable only by AUR. A little bit of pay to win there IMHO, for now anyway.

+1 to the OP. The change to 2sec impact fuses has messed up so many games for me in Dust. Where I used to get killed by a grenade and think that that was a well executed throw and maybe cook, now it's just a joke. Yes, there is still skill in the throw but the real skill comes from having it explode at the perfectly timed moment. This has been the only change to the game so far that I'm in disagreement with. Bring back the 4sec user armed fuses.

Can someone show me the SiSi to TQ patch notes that says grenades got a buff? I can't find it. Ask yourself why now all the (corp name) are upset about this, at this time in conjunction with the reset. Is it effecting your KDR. Might be sharpshooter skills are low and CQC is more prevalent? I don't have the answer, there are to many to even start. But I can say this. The reset catalyzed the usage of more grenades. In time things will settle out as they did before. In the mean time I suggest you try new play styles and adapt. And stop the nerf threads. Unless its about lamp posts.

I am not that good at FPS and Team work gets me assists.


troll, sorry but its true. if you had played last build and this you would see they now have a two second timer and that ridiculous throwing mechanic that begs to be abused. that is a major buff, even scouts have trouble getting out of the way of a grenade.

OP is right, the bright side is that everyone is rocking them instead of AV nades so LAV drivers are stupid right now and every one secrambles to get out of the way when you throw any grenade.]]> Wed, 16 Jan 2013 07:05:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/354212 <![CDATA[Grenades - by mikegunnz]]> https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=472957#post472957

This is an interesting point. When we scope in on someone (iron sights, mind you), up onto our HUD comes some very pretty information about the person and how easy the kill is going to be, not to mention their name so you know who you just killed so you can apologise to the grieving family.

So why is there only a small icon above enemy grenades that is hardly visible instead of a giant blinking 'holy kitten there's a grenade to your left move the other way' sign on this amazing HUD interface.]]> Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:47:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/354206 <![CDATA[Grenades - by Laurent Cazaderon]]> https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=471789#post471789 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:34:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/354205 <![CDATA[Grenades - by Oxskull Duncarino]]> https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=471748#post471748 zeek1227 zeek1227 wrote:

I thinks grenades are perfect, maybe there's a problem with grenade spamming, but again it's common in every FPS so I can't understand why all this rage


Grenades in this game and build are much different than other FPS games. Grenades are ridiculous in their current state, you know there's something wrong with it when people use it as a main weapon and their primary gun as a back up. That just makes it blatantly obvious that there's a problem IMHO. Most FPS games don't allow me to sit in a self deployed resupply point that regenerates grenades as fast as I can shoot them.

In other shooters I usually save my grenades for when I need them instead of using them at the beginning of a firefight. I'd rather just shoot them and use the grenades for taking out enemies that are behind cover. Don't get me wrong, I'll get behind cover and toss a nade over when the situational calls for it of course.

I believe the only reason for it being common in Dust is because of how broken they are and easy to use. Pressing L2 for a free quick kill in a game where a guy can soak 15+ shots before they die is very tempting, no surprise that it's a common practice in this build.

Give grenades the 4 second fuse back and they'll be perfect IMO.


It's really no different than using a throwing knife/hatchet in any Call of Duty game...

Grenade spam in Battlefield 2 was far worse than this...

I stand by my belief that the only reason people are complaining as much as they are is because there's actually a developer that has to listen to what the players says, rather than just accepting that it's how the game works and going on about their day.


It's a lot different.. are you kidding me? Just last match I stood a bit away from an objective that the enemy had, that was their only spawn point that wasn't far away from anything. I stood behind a piece of cover with a nanohive, jumping and spamming grenades into the letter where they tried to fight me back from. I laughed and got easily 10+ easy kills from spamming grenades in this game, it's stupid. 4 second fuse would at least give them time to react, or make me have to cook my grenades. & they should add a cap to how many times grenades can be resupplied per clone.

Far different than a knife/hatchet, and even those didn't regenerate back. At least those weapons required precision, these grenades have a large blast radius I just have to throw it at the feet and I get free kills.

Regardless of if a game had worse grenade spam, I still believe it's an issue and that's why I bring it up. I'd rather see Dust turn into a game where people rely on their guns for their kills more than their grenades. I like shooting guns to be the primary focus of my shooter games. :)

I thinks grenades are perfect, maybe there's a problem with grenade spamming, but again it's common in every FPS so I can't understand why all this rage


Grenades in this game and build are much different than other FPS games. Grenades are ridiculous in their current state, you know there's something wrong with it when people use it as a main weapon and their primary gun as a back up. That just makes it blatantly obvious that there's a problem IMHO. Most FPS games don't allow me to sit in a self deployed resupply point that regenerates grenades as fast as I can throw them.

In other shooters I usually save my grenades for when I need them instead of using them at the beginning of a firefight. I'd rather just shoot them and use the grenades for taking out enemies that are behind cover. Don't get me wrong, I'll get behind cover and toss a nade over when the situational calls for it of course.

I believe the only reason for it being common in Dust is because of how broken they are and easy to use. Pressing L2 for a free quick kill in a game where a guy can soak 15+ shots before they die is very tempting, no surprise that it's a common practice in this build.

Give grenades the 4 second fuse back and they'll be perfect IMO.]]> Tue, 15 Jan 2013 04:23:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/354190 <![CDATA[Grenades - by xxwhitedevilxx M]]> https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=471172#post471172 Icy Tiger wrote:

The arc could still use some work, and they need to fix cooked grenades vanishing when you drop but don't die. You shouldn't be able to throw it in a full arc though, just a short little toss if you're downed.

Look you can continue to post this **** in an attempt to seem witty or "hardcore" but it doesn't address the issue at hand. Only a few people refuse to acknowledge it because they are trying to look tough. You can't even troll properly let alone shoot a gun so I am just going to assume you are one of those that are overly dependent on this tatic to get kills.




Can someone show me the SiSi to TQ patch notes that says grenades got a buff? I can't find it. Ask yourself why now all the (corp name) are upset about this, at this time in conjunction with the reset. Is it effecting your KDR. Might be sharpshooter skills are low and CQC is more prevalent? I don't have the answer, there are to many to even start. But I can say this. The reset catalyzed the usage of more grenades. In time things will settle out as they did before. In the mean time I suggest you try new play styles and adapt. And stop the nerf threads. Unless its about lamp posts.

I am not that good at FPS and Team work gets me assists.


More often than not someone is getting owned with guns so they spam broken grenades and get away.

Not when you already had the equipment selected before sneaking on them. Surprisingly people adapted and learned how to quickly swap equipment even in the middle of a 1v1 engagement. Also, there was a bug that enabled people to plant explosives, go to the supply depot, swap fits, plant more explosives, rinse, repeat until you are satisfied with near infinite REs planted everywhere and then detonate them in one push of a button.]]> Tue, 15 Jan 2013 01:14:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/354177 <![CDATA[Grenades - by Free Beers]]> https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=470835#post470835 Government CheeseBurger wrote:
