The M8 Packed Locus Grenade. 750 damage. 3.3m blast radius. Ammo is 3.
This grenade usually instantly kills full health proto gallente logi's. Since damage mods are more popular now, high shields seem less popular now for Gallente logis.
This grenade works well against proto players up close or behind small bits of cover. Hard to use because of the small blast radius. But the reward is well worth it.
The best part about the grenade is that it only costs roughly 3500 ISK and is in the advanced tier.
Let the grenade spam up close begin.
I have had much success already with it. |

They are not useless. Just very hard to use. Now that they are available on the market for ISK it is possible to practice with them constantly and actually be able to use them well after a while and never run out of grenades.
Before they were available on the market it was clear to everyone that trying to use them was a worthless effort because they were so rare and by the time you became proficient at using them you probably would have ran out of them anyway.
There availability on the market changes the game a lot. |

Are you saying that these grenades were meant to be on the market since the start of uprising but a bug prevented it? |

Yeah, they've been in the market for a long time actually.
You used to only get them as salvage and could restock them from your assets.

This is the grenade skilled players would use. Too bad you only see core locus.

Used them for quite a while, but using X to toss grenades on a KBM while trying to walk to the right is already something for the special olympics, so i was gimping myself twice, so i went back to the M1's....

I've noticed them for a long time, havent really bothered with them because they're only good for cooking and you wont find many situations where you can throw an accurately placed locus grenade. |

Bind macro 'X' to thumb button, it reaaaaaally helps.
Off topic: Also, did you try lowering the polling rate of your mouse to <125 Hz?

No still at what its at, but like i said the first time, i cannot bind to mouse button, its a razor naga with 17 buttons, not supported by the PS3 and the mouse binds on pc are saved in software on the pc so they dont carry over to ps3 either...
So grenades are still special olympics, but i am not used to spamming them as they "in all other shooters" are used to gain a tactical advantage, so you ussually keep them until you NEED them......ill just take those 10 deaths in a explosive heavy game...i don't really care about grooming my KDR..
I much more prefer the effect of "Oh ****, Shepards in this game"

Well it is kind of nice that these M8 grenades are available for less SP, since really skilled players can put those 900k SP needed for proto grenades elsewhere. I do not want to skill into core locus, because it is a scrub weapon. Will try out M8 to get the feeling for them, if/when I start playing Dust again.

Because there is no Core Packed locus grenade which would make skill be too heavily rewarded. lol. Just a guess.
I use the M8 Packed Locus Grenades a lot. But I always come crawling back to the M1s half the time because I know that M8's cant win every situation. |
