1. You start with three of those
2. Each does 600 damage, enough to kill ANY advanced medium frame suit and with the bonus enough to kill ANY armor proto suit, and heavily damage any caldari suit.
3. Quick restock from hives
4. Spammable
5. 7.2m blast radius

EVERYONE is using those.
Watch a battle between two proto squads.
Grenades are thrown left and right carelessly, because they are:
TOO PLENTIFUL
TOO POWERFUL


In a game where kills take time, having a weapon that kills as fast as weapons in twitch shooters is just bizzare.
Especially a weapon that has no downsides.

Nerf the carry amount to 1.
There is a reason why COD and Battlefield only let you carry one unless you sacrifice another part of your loadout.

Halve the damage.
300 damage is still a lot.

The grenade spam is just epic.

Nerf Argon Gas, he's not reactive enough and doesn't play well with others.

Rarely do I die by grenade, typically they are not primed and they are easy to evade.

Grenade throwing distance is limited to that of a midget (no offence to midgets) so unless you are playing tag they serve a tactical purpose. Adapt please.

I would prefer if locus grenades came in 2s instead of 3s, but I find their fuse times a good balancing technique. The more time it takes to cook a grenade, the less DPS it has.

1. The blast radius on my core is far from 7.2 it's more like 3.1 maybe they got radius and diameter mixed up. 2. Fitting a grenade isn't easy. I need Eng and Elec 5 with a complex cpu mod and explosives 4 to fit everything I run. 3. You mean the grenade that cost me 1.2m sp? About 2 proto weapons worth? And half a protosuit, that **** better be op. 3. You can only spam nades with protohives which are also a pain in the ass to fit unless thats all you aim for.

This line made me chuckle for the first time today.

Made me laugh when I thought about how few people would actually understand it.

Only if the MD gets its damage set back to 80/120 and the explosion has a normal fall off from the center. Grenades are my only counters to MDs and most of the time 1 is not enough.

That's a different problem really.
When I hear a MD I just run and try to see where he is from a distance.
Then I figure out what to do from there.
It works, and it's much better than figuring out where he is in a cloud of smoke.

If you're in close range you're boned though.

LOL
You have no clue.
Even then, ask all the people who walked around a corner only to be insta killed by my perfectly cooked grenade.
Over

Aren't these grenades from Replication?

You know... the build where Heavies could tank close to 2000 armor...
had Scout suits with enough ehp to rival the proto Caldari suits we have now...
And Assault suits that would kill you with a glance?

:P




Oh, and everything had 2x the base speed too.

Replication
Uprising > replication > E3 > Precursor > Codex > Chromosome >Uprising (Or something like that...)

Congrats welcome aboard the noonecareswedoittootrain. That's a legit tactic whats the problem? Did you forget its an explosive?

I believe they are.
