So, I have a question. Where is it confirmed to be a glitch? Source? AFAIK, this is working as intended, if I am not mistaken this is how it has always been. I know it has been this way as long as I have been using REs and I've been using them for the majority of "release".

Specifically I'm talking about LASER TRIP MINES! When are we going to get these? C'mon, you all know what I'm talking about. Think of all the neglected hall ways in Dust.

Its funny/amusing but does it paint the game in a positive light? REs are hardly on the same level that murder taxis were... I mean I've not been caught out by a 'dynamic' RE (dead man trigger or otherwise) since I've started using them myself (in fact, if it wasn't for other people professing their RE love I'd be tempted to assume I personally am the reason this thread exists). Some people might argue that I can get out of the way in time because I'm a scout, and heavies don't have that ability. I'd say mobility is a scouts advantage and a heavies disadvantage - it's relatively high risk high reward to actually do, and requires a terrain advantage. I wouldn't complain if an RR/ScR killed me out in the open from 70m out - and I'd say that takes less skill, effort, preparation and risk taking than me REing a heavy. Which is why of course you are far more likely to see those in a kill feed than an RE. I've seen plenty of skilled players learn to avoid them after they realise im using them in which case I use the threat of them to slow the enemy down and expend grenades . You probably don't know me. But next time you get gunned down or exploded by a Valor scout...check the name.

If I could have my way, and over everything else I hate in this game, I would remove RE completely. There would be no more jihad jeeps or dicks who seem to take no dmg while ko'ing your heavy with his ***** little RE grenade. I would actually be willing to pay other players to greif RE users, I actually dislike them that much. I love hating them because frankly they earned it. Pulling it off isn't that easy and using things in inconventional ways is one of the best things about this game. Because, that's why.

I don't mind if they mange to pull the trigger BEFORE they're down,they deserve that kill. My only complain is that people CAN PULL the trigger AFTER THEIR DEATH, thats the problem. Double tap that body from a safe distance. Yeah, you're right, i forgot that i have a heavy weapon that can kill up to 60m and is the terr..... Oh wait...i Can't i repeat, no problems with RE and RE-traps. If you do a RE trap and kill people with it, you DESERVE that kill. Even if you run inside a group of people, drop a remote in the middle and make it blow up, you deserve those kills. BUT if you DIE, is stupid that you can still trig the explo before respw: No weapons or equip work in that way, except the remote. Once you try "HMG-FAT" you never get back...

They would be at a huge disadvantage to try to fight you head on with just gunfire when you are stacking that much health. Level 5 proficiency in throat punching

If we were able to move our hands while downed, then I would want the ability to self-inject myself with needles. You can't , you have to respawn, a lot of the time I suicide into a packed room with 3, if I die I spawn on the fastest link an hit the button, if the team can't flux in ten sec that's their problem You most certainly can, happens a lot.

Re's are one of the few blessings we have as a scout. Haha, it's definitely an incentive for me to get my rounds on target when I see the little present clutched in their hands sprinting and bunny hopping towards me. The HMG does melt scouts, but at times the way they move I know I'm fecked before I've even started firing. Still though, the amount of times that they have gotten me in comparison to the amount I've turned them into a red mist is small so I'm happy
Heathen Bastard The Bastard Brigade 932	Posted - 2014.02.13 00:28:00 - [110] - Quote Me, I prefer to bait heavies. a couple shots to ping at their shields, and then when they come into the room with their little HMG all revved up and ready to make some fresh scout mince, they figure out they're standing on a remote explosive. If you hear the words "WORTH IT!" look about, something hilarious just happened.

I just started getting into scout suits and REs, they are terribly fun and a great way to sneakily get kills, but I didn't know you could activate them while lying dead...that is bogus Most tankers are like sand people.

OP isn't QQing about throwing REs on the fly (the title doesn't really help in clarifying OPs stance...). I get the bleed out detonation could be contentious, but just two points I'd make. 1. Arguing the fact it is the only equip that can be used during bleed out doesn't amount to much. Being able to use needles without having to equip them is unique to needles - it's doesn't make them unfair mechanics or whatever, it is just part of the use of the item. 2. It is not a 100% kill - if ~~you are in~~ a scout got you in a situation where even upon their death you had absolutely no time to evade the RE blast - the scout simply won that encounter at the cost of their own lives. REs still require more preparation at such short operating distance than any other weapon in the game (I think), being able to detonate while bleeding out is kind of a compensation for that - I mean it's an advantage that activates only when you are dying - the very thing people are complaining is happening to them. I'd call it a fairly balanced (since it takes particular skill to do considering the counters/vulnerability of the bomber) gameplay style - high risk/high reward. Like Shotgunning on crack. You probably don't know me. But next time you get gunned down or exploded by a Valor scout...check the name.
Heathen Bastard The Bastard Brigade 933	Posted - 2014.02.13 01:45:00 - [116] - Quote Best part about doing it so often is you can actually tell your team mates exactly when it's happening so they can GTFO, it works pretty well.

Venerable Phage Red Shirts Away Team 8	Posted - 2014.02.13 02:02:00 - [117] - Quote Isn't the whole premise of this game that whilst the body may die the brain lives on. Sure your trigger figure might be destroyed but the mind is active so with a thought click boom goes the remotes. Given the lore the glitch is not that you can detonate REs whilst bleeding out, the glitch is you can't detonate them from the spawn/warp in screen.

Bojo The Mighty L.O.T.I.S. 3129	Posted - 2014.02.13 02:41:00 - [119] - Quote Personally I think the "glitch" isn't really a glitch. You can only pull it off when you are bleeding out which means that you're still conscious in that suit, you can be revived so you must at least have some motor function to push a button. You can't be revived from paralysis and just thrown into battle. So I deem anyone bleeding out still a threat, because they have enough power in them still to get back up and detonate a bomb while they're laying there dying. Adopt that philosophy and really the glitch does not seem unfair. But that is a slight bias coming from an RE user Please deposit likes in Swiss Bank account. The Feds don't ensure beyond 3k.
