Let's see, you get 3 of them, they can one-shot most heavies when they're in armor, and you can easily replenish them with nanohives

not to mention the huge blast radius


no other game allows 3 replenishable nades that will OHKO you.

CCP has no idea how to make a FPS and things like this are the result.

And is there an inaccurate description of their damage in menus?

Everyone hates minmatar gear because we're awesome smg may be the only gear that hasn't been heavily nerffed just yet

Noobish and OP

I don't want to say they are OP but prehaps locus grenades could do with a little tweaking!
Fluxes are fine so all in all relatively well balanced!

Grenades are noobish?
I suppose anything with an AOE is noobish as well then?

They used to be better.

How are fluxes fine?

an even bigger blast radius that's GUARANTEED to strip you of ALL your shields?

it's the same thing as a core locus nade to an armor tanked heavy when used on a shield tanked suit....stupid and OP

again, this is the kind of crap you get in your games when developers have LITERALLY NO IDEA how to balance and implement a FPS

When folks with Duvolles, damage mods, and fully maxed AR skills choose to just camp and spam core locus nades instead; I think that tells us something.

dear king kobrah .... you sir are a F A GG O T if you hate this game so much y dont u gtfo (cod ***) quit trying to be cool by being a duche on some games forums seriously people like you disgust me and you sir are pathetic

Because its a sheild only grenade! Unlike the locus which won't get through most of the time.
I would expect a grenades thats disrupts sheilds and low-level equipment, to disrupt sheilds!

Otherwise I might as well just lob locuses like there is no tommorow.

I say grenades are OP. everyone who plays pc knows that core locus grenades are spammed like crazy..

Why does that matter? a flux grenade can take out 80%+ of my EHP with an 8 meter blast radius that requires no cooking

a core locus nade will only take out about 40% of my EHP since i'm shield tanked

both are too OP and do their jobs way too well.

you should get TWO, NON REPLENISHABLE grenades with a smaller blast radius and damage reduction.

They're not situational...I can pull out a core locus nade, cook it in my hand while people are shooting at me, then drop it on their head for an easy OHKO

didn't even need to shoot my gun

mechanics like that simply shouldn't exist.

OP they also need to break up the skill tree reduce sp cost by 1/4 then break into three categories Flux, Locus, AV so that when someone has a good locus they don't also have good AV and anti shield.

no other game allows 3 replenishable nades that will OHKO you.

Locus Grenades-Could use a little change. Maybe give 2 grenades for Proto and Advanced and then 3 for Standard.

Contact Grenades-UP

Halo, to name the first that comes to mind. Every game that has Grenades in my experience will OHK those who are close enough/direct hit...

Please name me three FPSes with grenades that can NOT OHK

Let's see, you get 3 of them, they can one-shot most heavies when they're in armor, and you can easily replenish them with nanohives

1-AV Grenades - laughably OP.

2-Flux - Annoying, but non lethal.

3-Locus grenades - When a person's first instinct is to press circle 3 times instead of hitting R1, we have a problem.

Honest question. How old are you?

Your talking proto or atleast advanced, right?

Hardly right to lay into basic.

1-Not OP.Being at 9-15 Mts of a tank to score some damage is as stupid as it sounds. They deserve to hit as hard as possible.
2-Agreed
3-If a person starts hitting ''O'', he'll be dead before the first grenade blows up.
The real problem is when combines with height advantage. The amount of grenades Might be looked into for a reduction and slower ressuply rate.

But let me get this straight.This post has people saying: GRENADES SHOULD NOT 1HKO people?
They are OP because they Kill? WHAT?

As they are i can survive a Proto Core Locus with my aDV suit..

I just feel the Grenade ''alert'' we get is pretty damn crappy.
And ''cooking'' grenades should not be a thing.......Thats why we have contact grenades....

AV grenades break up the rock, paper, scissors system for infantry vs AV by giving infantry access to omni-fits that can do everything. I could go on more about it, but there's several topics that go 20+ pages with people that can explain it better than I can right now.

I don't have an issue with locus grenades being a OHK. What I have issue with is when you get a squad of people camping and spamming the damn things. I think I've died to grenades more than every gun put together lately.

They have tried stemming it to a degree, its hard not penalise those that use grenades, when reducing the spam of grenades!

Only the ability to spam off nanohives is a real problem.

Or perfect. If your shotgunning, and your almost dead, just chuck it at the opponent and it's a guaranteed kill if they have like 30 armor left.

Looks like nobody likes grenades in their current state

And is there an inaccurate description of their damage in menus?

One caused over 800 damage to me today, it homed in on me and exploded on impact, was super fast and unavoidable.

800 damage.

Im sorry but way too many people rely on locus grenades way too much, 1v1 fights usually they throw their grenades before any gunfire, then if those grenade fail to kill me, they shoot their gun and can't hit me because they are sooo used to not having to fire their gun...(for the record the grenade gets me a lot of the time because of the large blast radius and ridiculous damage)
Lets face it, Locus grenades are a throw and forget weapon as well, throw the grenade somewhere, walk away and you are bound to get 1, 3 or even more kills. Sit on a nano hive kill a whole team lol (joking about this part...or am I?)

Grenades are also the main thing that kills me as well, more than any gun.

grenades in real life would blow your damn legs off and fill your lungs with shrapnel .. so i think they're fine
