FLUX
really. Locus grenades are good on People. AV grenades are good on vehicles and track the vehicles... flux grenades......
nothing. Of course they are supposed to work good on shields, but
- If you through a flux before you fire at an enemy you take down their shield before it goes off
- if you cook you better hit them with it otherwise the small radius will only partially reduce shielding...
flux vs infantry is very bad. Its better to just use a locus. Locus and flux hand the same radius but flux only works on shields and locus works on shields, armor, and can kill.
Flux vs vehicles is bad. Besides having your flux land directly on a tank your not doing any significant harm. And since sheilds on vehicles recover so fast, your sacrifice is truely in vain. AV can ckill the vehicles damage its shielding and track it.
Why should you ever use flux grenades?
My suggestion give them a 9m blast radius, and full flux damage out to the extreme of the radius. something has gotta be done to make it work.
SLEEK LOCUS
I don't even need to go into detail on this one. they are just bad. What was the concept behind this? 200 damage with a 9m radius and fall off.
my solution is to add sleek locus grenade teirs. standard 200 damage, ADV 300 damage, PROTO 375 damage. AND have the damage have no fall off at the edge of the radius, namely that it does its max damage upto the 9m mark.
comments?

sleek locus = useless

Throw a flux (cook them for timing) at a good spot and help your team out by Softening he enemy up (infrantry and vehicles) and
Destroy equipment.
Sure a locus is great in some situations but a flux is too.
Would you rather take out that equipment nest around the corner and softening the enemy up so they start panicking or do you rather get 1 kill which a normal gun can get too?
...and now let's wait for those lame core nade spammers to make a follow-up comment.
i would agree with you. but the fact is that Locus grenades can soften up and finish off enemies, locus grenades can destroy equipment too.
so, kills + softens enemies + destroys equipment
VS
softens + destroys equipment...
face it, locus pretty much do the same as flux as far as infantry are concerned.
When you consider vvehicles, flux can be useful, but they must land on the vehicle to actually realize their full potential. which concsidering vehicle strength and mobility won't mean much.
so, AV grenades = destroys vehciles + softens them up + tracks and adheres to vehicles
VS
flux = softens up vehicles
on both ends of the spectrum, flux fall short.

if flux did their full damamge out to the extremity of their radius then they would be more useful.

I use fluxes to great effect, they already have a more than suitable blast radius. The only thimg that should change is the damage a standard flux should be doing 1000 shield damage at the edge of its blast. Other than that it's down to playstyle, they just aren't combat grenades in the same way locus grenades are.
thats what I want. The flux needs its max damage out to the extremes of the radius, then it would be a valuable asset.
