I would like to know what people think about remote explosives. Are they annoying or not a problem for you?

I used to run with them all the time until 1.4 when I was pretty much forced to use a scanner 100% of the time or be completely blind. 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.

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.

REs are pretty well balanced. A flux can easily take them out if not glitched but they keep red dots on their toes. I have started using them more and more at choke points rather than on letters.




Also, they are good with baiting people around corners

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.

get a cheap tank

put proxy's down

let it lie somewhere where enemies will try to hack it

watch the fireworks happen

Most balanced thing in the game, and should never get a change as to how they are now.

why a tank? I just use a free lav

After we get sticky RE's.

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.

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.

No, most definitely not, its ammo, all ammo should be restocked, the only change is to prioritise weapon ammo first!

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.
