DUST Search - Before Remote Explosives get Nerfed into pure AV...

RE's are supposed to be used as traps as you stated. They are a special form of equipment used by being placed and triggered when the user wants it to explode.

A grenade is a form of ammunition and should be restocked in a nano hive. Thats the reason they don't do as much damage as an RE.

RE's are Equipment and as equipment should be treated like Drop Links and Nano Hives and only restocked at the supply depot.

The comparison of throwing a Core Locus all day and no complaints vs an RE is invalid on 3 fronts

Core Locus vs RE
1. Cost: 14160 vs 1500
2. Damage: 600 vs 1250
3: Skil: lvl 5 vs lvl 1

If you want to murder a proto suit solo with an RE then setting a trap and luring them is perfectly fine. But being able to throw RE's, triggering them, replenishing with a nano hive, rinse and repeat, needs to stop. Mindlessly spamming RE's is the problem NOT using them to kill proto suits as you say.

Good for you if you lure a proto suit around a corner and blow it up working as intended, throwing RE's grenade style not as intended.

Those things are a joke. Just like all the other AV, it was designed specifically to not be able to kill vehicles for some reason unless 5 people are using them at the same time.
