After death detonation needs to get fixed, but more importantly why do remotes do 1500 damage and Prox Mines 750?

1 thing I will add to this is

When you 'die' you don't actually die
You go into a sort of 'stasis' mode where your clone is in process of genolution or termination

As soon as you press 'circle' to kill off your clone......then it dies. This explains the ability for people to revive your clone after you've been shot at
The ability to activate remote explosives and throw grenades etc is like a form of 'last stand'

So therefore imo it isn't a broken feature. Whilst obnoxious it isn't exactly farfetched

You have to be skilled to use a RE effectively, it's not just dump and blow. It relies so much on how aggressive your opponent is, way more skill than using a gun.

Stop barreling into obvious places that are well defended. If they are able to drop a remote and get you, STOP STANDING STILL!

You can be revived after you are downed, it's the same for REs...You are only in a downed state. Double tap and kill the opponent, he won't be able to blow the remote.

no, no, no...lets not pretend placing REs is some elite chessgame that requires a PHD in strategy. Its just the latest craze with high dmg weapons with splash after the MD, flaylock and forgegun....and CCP needs to fix the after death detonation, its not operating as intended.

u lure guys into chasing u and verify they are in the killzone with passive or active scans. then BOOM. its not rocket science. I agree with the other poster about damage. u could make the argument that the prox mines that are counters to HAVs should do much more damage than an explosive that cant even breach walls.

So you think luring people in requires no skill, but apparently using your OP Rifles is totally skill? AA has turned gungame into a total joke, it's close eyes and spray back and forth..LOTS of skill required for that.

I don't get if you know how it works, why not run a dampened suit? Or better yet think before you just barrel into a spot. You want to beat all REs, use a flux and take corners wide. It's an easy counter.

never said it was zero skill or claimed ARs were superior. But being able to see their profile on ur minimap with a OHK weapon with a large splash area doesnt make u Napoleon either.

Needs lower dmg/less splash like the other weapons I mentioned.

It has less splash range than a Core locust. Please don't balance around Proxies, you and I both know Proxies are insanely UP.

Shouldn't it? A grenade is designed for splash/area damage while the remote is (speculating here) flexible but designed to deliver a focused blast. They shouldn't have nearly the splash they do and Reiki pointed out all the issues this game has had with splash that is poorly designed.

If not? Then isnt the RE just a sticky grenade with triple the power u cant throw as far? Don't we want different functions rather than overlapping features that make other equipment obsolete? (think CR/RR compared to AR)

Proxies another matter altogether. Not a dev but i'd lose the silly beeping and go 1000, 1200 and 1400 dmg per with more deployed as you go up in tier.

REs being focused and not designed as anti-tank have to be less than that...600, 800, 1000 with 1m of direct range, with the same rules as above. IMO the splash should be another 2m and be 150, 200 and 250. Again...only my opinion.

More and more often I am joining games where I can not even play because of the amount of people running remote explosives. I just finished a match where the top six guys on the other team didn't even shoot just threw remote explosives at you and set them off. The worst part about it is, YOU CAN STILL BLOW THEM UP EVEN AFTER YOU ARE DEAD!!! So long as you detonate before picking where to spawn back in. I know for a fact that this particular issue needs to be fixed, but further more, I would like it if I could actually be a heavy again instead of someone always running up behind me with remote explosives, or a scout flat rushing me and getting within throwing distance for them before I can kill them with and then set the explosives off after they are dead. Dust is my favorite fps and has been since launch, its shown constant improvement with each update and just like the old Flaylock nightmare that made me want to stop playing I have faith that CCP will fix this. Please patch remote explosives on 1.8. You don't even have to make them to where they do no damage just change it too where they only do 15% or 20% weapon efficiency against dropsuits to where you are not constantly one shot by people who can't really play the game, and just use the remote explosive to make it no fun for others.

If you don't like deaths by RE you need to look where you are going...
Do you really expect a scout with 1/4 your HP to fight you 1v1????

And RE's cannot be detonated while dead, only while bleeding out
So if you wan't to avoid that, go for headshots or shoot the body after you down them

I'm sorry, but you lose credibility when you defend an obviously broken mechanic like detonating REs when incapacitated....what else should we be able to do when down? I want to stab myself with a nanite, that cool too?

Detonating RE's post being downed: I see it as something my scouty ass does with his middle finger. "down but not out, ****er!" it's how I beat heavy rail riflers. I throw em, melee the guy, he whips around shooting before he sees me, kills me before he's done turning around(Thanks Auto Aim! Now no one needs to have skill anymore!), then he gets exploded.

ummmm......NO.

uuuuuhhhh yeah. when you're using a no skill crutch, you deserve to be killed by an extremely minor skilled crutch.

favorite method for busting enemy nests: turn corner, throw RE at it, detonate, maybe even get a kill amongst all the +5 equip destroyed messages.

easiest way to deal with a heavy: shoot him a couple times, run away, stick RE to the wall just around a corner, wait...BOOM! Works waaaayy too often, you think that people would figure out "hey, don't chase the scout who only shot me a couple times" but no, almost every time herp-a-derp BOOM! "OMGNERF!!!! SO OP!"

I read on here somewhere that CCP said you can't detonate an RE in death.

That's simply not true. I've detonated and killed people 3-4 seconds after I died.
And RSs are actually quite broken in terms of glitches as well, but what in this game isn't?

It actually is true. When your clone is terminated, ie dead and not bleeding out, you can not det a RE

I suppose you're looking for a way to make it so it's harder for a scout to kill a heavy. Well, if you want to take away the best way for a scout to solo a heavy then you need to propose an alternative method for solo scout vs heavy battles. Maybe take away the HMG because it's no fun getting killed in .2 sec? Better? (no)

And why can't you explode the RE after you respawn? If all equipment stays in the game after respawn so should a RE. If you can't use an RE after respawn, then all equipment (links/hives) should go offline after respawn. May as well be fair about it.
