What is it about Core Grenades that they are the only utility that can be thrown and 1 shot their target?

Really, I feel that every other grenade lacks the alpha to even matter. 1 sec to grab, 3 sec to cook only for it to barely do anything unless you have a core. So honestly for four+ seconds of no damage at all these lower tier grenades should be better than that.

Only tells part of the story. Core Grenades have the highest splash radius in the game minus a maxxed out Assault Mass Driver. They also have the second highest explosive splash damage, minus a Remote Explosive. They're the best of both worlds apart from those extreme cases which have their own trade-offs (AMD has low damage and flight time, RE has arm time and can't move)

Honestly, the killing potential is way too much for the effective area. I'm of the volition that you should have to choose between high damage and precise aiming or high margin of error and low damage. Having both is just too easy to cop out of a fight and really contradicts the whole 'tactical high ttk team shooter' thing we're going for.

Isn't the low dmg & high radius what the Sleek grenade was for?

Isn't the low dmg & high radius what the Sleek grenade was for? Yup. Sleek is low dmg/high radius, packed is high damage/low radius. Then you have the vanilla Locus Grenade which sits squarely in the middle and is obviously the go-to choice. Thanks for all the support guys, let's fix Dust 514 :D

And yet there aren't constant threads being generated discussing how powerful the Packed Grenades are =P Thanks for all the support guys, let's fix Dust 514 :D
