You'll probably die from a large railgun or prototype missile to the face also.

If they are goina remain so OP, Which they probably will since the physics of the idea makes sense.

I suggest you should have to 'channel' a remote to throw it down. No instant throw as you run away from me.

At least that way when I die from it its my own damn fault for not paying attention to the ground.

Those make sense to me at least, the guy driving it has to spend over 1 mill in skill points to get it that good.

The guy with the remotes needs only 20,000 to blow me sky high.

Need I say more? rocking a full Assualt Prototype with all maxed out shields mod and armor mods.

Every time is an instant kill, If everyone of these guyz has a maxed out remotes then perhaps this would make sense.

Seems like they are way OP to me.

Wait, you're complaining about the fact that if you are insane enough to stand on top of what is basically a demolitions explosive and someone detonates it you die?

Seriously?

You could always try NOT standing on the RE and see how that goes for you?

The problem is people can jump out of a LAV, fling a remote explosive at you and detonate it all within 2 seconds. I play a forge gunning heavy most of the time and I die in a single shot from full health with these things. I can't move away in time and I've had no luck shooting them with my SMG before I die in a horrible ball of fire.

the RE should only be used for vehicles i am really tired of chasing some one down and they drop that little thing right in front of them and blow me up with out them taking any damage at all. at least make it so it kill any thing and everything in its radius instead of leaving the jack ass who threw it unharmed. they should just attach to tanks and other vehicles like sticky grenades. and that is another problem too the grenades in this game are so off it isn't even funny you throw one and it just teleports like 50ft from where you wanted it to go. so work on RE and make grenades actually useful.

When FF is on that will be a suicide.

But apart from that - "am really tired of chasing some one down and they drop that little thing right in front of them and blow me up with out them taking any damage at all"

You're chasing someone who's dropping timed landmines, and somehow it's a problem in the game-mechanics that you die?
WTF?

And as to the guy complaining that they drive up to his heavy in a LAV and drop an RE at his feet - read that again.

You are in a heavy suit with Anti-Vehicle weapons, and your'e letting someone drive up to you in a CAR, get out, drop an explosive and detonate it.......
And this is a Game-mechanics problem somehow?

You could (and this is ONLY a suggestion of course) try shooting the LAV with the forge-gun? Perhaps somewhere between the time where he starts driving in your direction, but preferably before he parkes, gets out, plants an explosive and detonates it. (If you somehow manage to find the time of course...)

Well Remote Explosives are suppose to be strong, if they can take down tanks and such, Im pretty sure no drop suit and protect you.

however I would support a simple change. easy to throw down, BUT a 2 second charge time. You don't have the sit there, but you have to wait 2 seconds to use them would make sense. '

but seriously it's only one level, it's stuck in there for beta testing only

I'll admit I've become pretty lazy when it comes to fighting heavies. It's much easier/faster for me to just drop an RE and kill the heavy than it is to waste a clip in his head. They probably should make these things have a longer delay between setting/throwing them and detonating them . But in return I want them to stick to vehicles.

I'm hesitant to call anything op because this is one map and a lot of things are still missing or getting fixed, ff, spawning joining with friends.

When these things get implemented then we can discuss what is op because we can see how they truly effect the game.

1. RE can't be thrown like a grenade. They are dropped 50cm in front of you and slide a bit farther.

2. RE kill the owners too.

3. You can't plant them while sprinting.

4. The AOE is about 2m in radius ( my guess ) and is blocked by even very low cover.

5. REs are the Scissors to all Heavy Paper in infantry CQC. Esspecially for Logistics and Scout suits. But a clever Assault might prove a Stone to it quite fast by keeping a half distance.

6. RE are not an anti-vehicle weapon. They are an anti-stupid-driver weapon. They only work against blind or sitting tanks or REALLY stupid dropship pilots (Seran 1 : Dropship 0) that try to squish you. If a vehicle keeps moving it just works as a trap as REs are no sticky bombs.

^THIS I run heavy dropsuit and I watch for players who try to lure you around corners. Right now I am LVL II heavy suite and have LVL 5 shield extend and repair and have over 1000+ HP and I still get dropped. I totally agree that they should be dropped right in front of you and not use as sliding explosives.

NO, they need more dedication for the power they have.

no nerf. no timer, no stop where you are to plant

just more SP required to use them in their current state.
and lower lvl ones.

If you are standing right on top of one then yeah, I think it makes sense that you get blown to hell. There will be armour explosive hardener mods and things like that at some point, just like EVE (or am I being a dumbass and they are already in DUST?) These things can take out tanks afterall.

I really need these for my tank
