I run with a squad. Every time. Remotes detonate too fast. Bottom line. When a scout chucks one in a doorway a heavy does not have enough time to even think about moving.

Easy +50's.

Exactly my point. Thank you. Remotes are easy mode.

Easy when the opposing squad or person mis-step or fall back into another member, yup. Smart players are harder to catch off guard.

I remember you lol I killed you with remote explosives like 4 times in a domination game where the "A" objective was in that basement.

You know why remote explosives are used so much? Heavies. That's the only hope a scout or a medium suit have against an armor tanked juggernaut with a proto HMG. You don't like being killed by them but I don't like being killed by 7 heavies standing in front of an objective.

I also don't care much for being killed by shotgun scouts...but that's par for the course.

But remote explosives are fun....and they do make a sound when they're dropped. That's why its hard to sneak up on snipers with them....well, its not that hard but people who pay attention always move lol

Yesterday was a banner day for me...I dropped 3 remote explosives strategically and when all the heavies flooded into the objective where I knew they would be I detonated. I killed 8 of them in ONE shot with F/45 remote explosives.

and then spent the rest of the match getting mowed down by heavy spam and cloaked shotgun scouts....what can you do?

Being placed everywhere around corners and scouts just suicide to use them. They are so frustrating and if someone drops one from above, I can't even hear that it has just been dropped like a grenade.

As a heavy, I am struggling very hard to deal with these and they are causing the vast majority of my deaths because they excel in the area where heavies are supposed to excel. Is there anyway as a heavy (with no scanner support cause all my friends left this game) to deal with these? Should they add sound for when they are dropped so we can actually hear them? I would say that accurately about 80% of my deaths this last week have all been to remote explosives, and even with being stupidly careful at looking for them (which gives you a disadvantage against everything else because it will take you a second to bring up the aim again, I still struggle with them . Any suggestions on how to improve this? The guy that used the remove explosives last game went about 52 - 1. -.-

A good heavy will not fall for it. They'll hear the remote sound and instantly back up a few paces, shoot the RE or flux it. and sometimes if they're in a long corridor they will ACTIVELY search for remotes on the ground or walls and shoot those. Those heavies are the ones I can say impress me because they're self-aware and are hard as **** to take down. Most times I'll opt out and just go find a different target, one who's not smart and stupid... there are a bunch around LOL.

Bumping into other players nothing. Have you ever used an amarr sentinel? They don't move in meters per second like your scout, they move in seconds per meter.

In all honesty, Remotes are hard to use if the enemy PAYS ATTENTION.

Use them and you will stop hating them. I love making vehicles go boom with them. I don-¦t run Scout so i almost never get infantry kills with them, but i use my rifle to kill those.

Another thing, you guys say run with a squad, when scouts are the biggest lone wolves of them all

Yeah, scouts can get away with it. They have dampening and speed.

If YOU run as a lone wolf, you WILL get shotgunned in the back.

Run damps, or run with a group. Lone heavies are asking to get shotgunned or Knifed.

tossing remotes 15meter away with sprint jump on a cloaked plus damped scout is hard to use, especially when some sounds originating from behind someone are not played...

oh wait... it is totally the opposite of hard

Walk slowly when in enemy territory. Keep a careful ear for the RE sound.

If it's from behind SPRINT FORWARD. Unless they are using proto, you will be fine. If they try to do this from in front, OPEN FIRE. He can't detonate when dead. Kill him, back up, remove the RE.

You hopefully are sticking with teammates if you are a heavy. NEVER be a heavy without good support. You WILL get shotgunned or RE'd in the back.

That's one of the great things about this game. If you are a lone wolf and NOT a scout, 9/10 times you will get torn to shreds.

Find a squad, play with them, and play smart. Most problems blueberries complain about will go away, I guarantee it.

You're not getting it at all. An amarr sentinel can start moving away while it's still in the air and not have enough time to move.
But I understand your determination to prove you're right because if they take away your crutch you will simply suck

You think RE's are a crutch?

Is my rifle a crutch too? Are grenades a crutch? Nanohives?

You are a sheep who hears others use the words "scrub" and "crutch" and "tryhard" and then throws them around with little to no thought because you have no real ideas of your own.

And listen. I hate nerfing. I really do. I have no other complaints in this game beyond re's and the stupid people that defend them to the death. I have no problems with a strategically placed re waiting for someone to come along and go boom. I have no problem with re's blowing up vehicles but when a scout can toss an re down from above and have it detonate as soon as it hits the ground, then I have a problem.
