being killed by a remote explosive is completely fair and requires some skill. not annoying at all. If you get killed by one, you're a blind idiot :D simples |

When the enemy team has only 1 left null cannon and is about to be redlined. Sometimes i see some enemy RE's on that last null cannon, when the blueberries try to hack it i just shoot the explosive to stop them from hacking it. fun stuff |

watch the fireworks happen why a tank? I just use a free lav  Want to do something even more devious? Plant Proxy Mines under the LAV. When they hack the vehicle it will all explode killing the hacker(s) and the vehicle for bonus points.
most people won't hack LAVs and shouldn't either, its a waste of time to do so. every enemy LAV is see i kill.
tanks on the otherhand people do. |

Run on my Amarr Logistics fit and I love using them. I occasionally get multiple kills a games and can destroy turret instillation's with three remotes. However I find it annoying that if placed on certain objectives it moves by itself or disappear on flat surfaces.
+1 remotes
-1 proxies. Mad cuz I don't get many cheap kill lulz out of them |

I have tried them recently and they no longer drop next to spawn points like they used too. They kind of slide away a distance away and it makes them more obvious. Probably won't ever run with them again unless Scouts are given another equipment slot though.

To me they are those annoying things that blind blueberries don't see before attempting to hack. The few times I've fought someone who was using them in mid-fight I knew well enough to back away from them so they haven't been a problem. Never encountered the martyrdom RE tactic either. |

Not too much of an issue. I find the tactic of dropping REs at your own feet in the middle of a CQC gunfight and detonating for a kill as you jump out of the way to be ...  ... "unrealistic" and awkward in sort of the same way bunny hopping and strafing in the open to avoid fire awkwardly yanks you out of immersion and reminds you "yep, video game". But not a huge issue and so few use it effectively that if they have fun with it, w/e. |

They are so glitchy now... 
They slide away when placed on the Null Cannon and there is that awkward delay when you switch to them...
Fix please..?

Hate when it happens to me, love it when I do it to other people. I usually only fall for it once in a match, then I keep my eyes open, unless the person keeps putting them just around corners and detonating before I have a chance to see them. |

RE's are one of those shinny diamond's sitting in the rough CCP hasn't touched. They add tactic's and scenario's in this game and do nothing but add to it..... I wish proximity mines where more viable in DUST versus infantry. (Hail to Goldeneye, Proximity mines in the Complex!) Proto grenades and nanohive's don't make any sense..... Grenade ammo pools being part of every gun's ammo doesn't make sense... there should be a separate nanohive or ammo source for explosive equipment.
No, most definitely not, its ammo, all ammo should be restocked, the only change is to prioritise weapon ammo first! |

REs are part of the reason i run the flaylock, i almost always shoot a flaylock shot at a objective before i hack it, but occasionally i forget and get killed, but thats completely my fault. |

Because martyrdom RE tactic doesn't work in dust.
REs refuse to either:
- set properly (and fizzle away)
- won't take the detonation command (long activation time combined with seemingly inconsistent activation delay)
- Sometimes won't kill anyone standing next to them
and as a bonus
- currently anyone running into AR pack is dead within few steps |

I feel like RE users these days are lazy- back when I used REs, I put them in much more creative locations than directly next to a hack panel.
Blowing up a protobear as they go around a corner is very enjoyable. |

Fizzer94 wrote:I like REs,an don't mind when they kill me usually, but there are two problems with them.
1. They fall through the floor sometimes, and are invisible and unable to destroy without a flux if you manage to find them.
2. They can be set off when the user is bleeding out/dead( even from a charged scrambler rifle headshot). This acts like "Martyrdom" and everyone hated that because it negates the fact that you died first, and allows you to get free kill even though you lost the fight. The first can be fixed but it is a bother. You need to give feedback on the map and let the map team know where the problem occurred. It would help if we had a socket map as well but that has yet to materialize.
For the second I have never done that. I did get +50 Kill while in the respawn screen. Probably some Red shot it a little too close, but it was laugh inducing. |
