I would be very happy if RE's were something that had to be placed and couldnt be thrown. Sick of RE frisbies.

Out of all of things to complain about RE's you choose this complaint. My complaint are invisible remotes. Another are remotes that go into the ground. You can't destroy it with a grenade (except flux) but when they detonate it it then blows you up. I don't like the fact that when it is thrown it looks to land in one place but then it is actually in another. Or how they slip off of tanks for no reason. Or how they just disappear in the redline so tanks and lav's go into the red in order to get rid of an RE.

Other than that, we all get caught by RE's. It happens. Get over it. It is part of the game. There is no reason to change it. Besides, your suggestion would completely eliminate a very effective AV tactic...big time.

I use RE's as well but not as much as of late choosing a more slayer type route. I have become quite paranoid for RE's so I am always firing around nulls, paying attention to the ground CLOSELY and watching my six while hacking or checking around for anyone hiding waiting to place one behind me. That being said, I still die.

Just because you die from something doesn't make it valid that you need to nerf it. You either get better or just deal with the reality that it will happen.

I'm fed up with people complaining about perfectly fine things b/c they get killed by it. It is just ridiculous.

gOT DAMN it i


Its not a nerf its a hotfix for RE's being a frisbe in Dust Damn man pay attetion

What part of it eliminating a method of AV did you not read. Part of AV is being able to toss it on a tank. If I can't toss it on the tank how the hell do you expect for me to get it on there? Am I supposed to run up and touch the tank and hope it doesn't move in the least bit and then place it gently and then repeat? There are only a few highly effective AV tactics and RE's are one of them. OP is welcome to change the original suggestion to not eliminate an effective AV tactic. Until then it is a nerf.

For the record. If you pay very close attention they can only get thrown about 3 to 5m AT MOST. What you normally see is someone running and then moving backwards after placing them so it appears they are tossing it far further than they really are. The only other instance is if you throw it sometimes it will move an extra couple of meters to attach to a wall or vertical surface AND I WILL ADMIT that that element is broken.

I got a kick out of throwing nades at the hack point to blow up the clueless blueberry who didn't check for REs.

Lol you toss it on the tank???? LOL NERB I for one jumps on dah tank (cloaked) move towards the back place the RE"s flux then BOOM simple man XD

Now that im fine with but....frisbee re's....seriously

Have you had a thought about fixing how scouts throw remote explosives like they are grenades?

just popped in to note what a huge exaggeration the OP is.... you cant even begin to cover the distance of a nade....

This.
Every time someone claims that REs can be thrown "like they are grenades" it makes me think that they've never actually used REs before.

...Or they're just butthurt.

I dare you to try throwing an RE on top of a building from the ground like grenades can be.

REs are fine where they are. Bring some fluxes, and learn to adapt.

It's official, You are a newb.

No updated content for dust, so no, they can no longer do this. Everyone is off working on legion. Would have been nice if they had fixed this first.. <<---- Read As: A long fukin time ago!

Lol you toss it on the tank???? LOL NERB I for one jumps on dah tank (cloaked) move towards the back place the RE"s flux then BOOM simple man XD

• Arming Time of REs: 1s
• Grenade Cook Time: 3.31s
• Time it would take to do this: 6.31s
• Average Human Reaction Time: .215s

Basically, the tankers you were fighting were 29.34x slower than the average human. Did you make this thread to make fun of mentally challenged players?

Because If so, I'd be forced to report you.

Only a scrub would try to rush a tank, decloak, and attempt to use REs to destroy it35rgf . It literally gets you killed against any tanker who's not mentally ******** or AFKing.


Removing the range of REs is a terrible idea, because it will remove their efficiency against vehicles; leading to REs being spammed against infantry, which wouldn't solve the problem at all (implying that one exists in the first place)

@Original Post

They can't be spammed as traps/frisbees simply because using one requires that the enemy does not use Flux Grenades (which is an issue of gross incompetence) and taking out multiple people requires the person to sneak up on you, in which case I could take care of the enemies with Nova Knives or Shotguns as well.

Let's look at the counters:

• Flux Grenades
• Active Scanners
• Competence / Situational Awareness

Have you tried using Mass Drivers to kill the person before s/he 'tosses' the RE?
Have you tried using an Active Scanner to scan the RE?
Have you tried paying attention to your surroundings and not traveling into the RE's blast radii?

If you've answered no to any of these questions, your QQ is frivolous as you have not attempted to use their hard counters, and determined that there was an imbalance based from that.

If you've answered yes to these questions, but are still having problems against RE users; your a scrub. I don't like being inflammatory, but it's the honest truth.
