Are these working as intended? i mean the description says it messes with equipment and shields and shows dmg values ranging as high as 1800HP when i read this i assumed kool now we have something to mess with shield tanks more as AV nades seemed to affect armor more.
So couple days ago i decided to try em and tossed a couple on a tank...believe it was a gunloggi (wasnt a sica)...only so find a nice flashy explosion bubble but no actual damage?
is it bugged? or was i just unlucky? anyone had success with these taking down shields? |

I've been killed by one when i was standing inside the bubble it made. I thought it was meant to not kill you just damage shields but i died from it completely.
I don't think they are working as intended. |

Confirmed bugged. Shouldn't be able to kill, just wreak havoc with any deployable equipment, vehicles and shields. |

They're bugged. We'll probably take them out of the market in the near future and bring them back when they're solid. |

Any chance you can provide information on what their actual intent is?..
Seem's pointless to have a grenade that destroys nanohives and drop uplinks, is it only going to damage a vehicles shields?... Will it effect dropsuit shields? What about turrets etc? |

Pretty sure they're supposed to do what you mentioned, plus stun vehicles. |

They're basically EMP grenades that are effective against shields but do nothing to armor or health. |

I use them to help take out ultra high end HAV's. I was in a corp match last night and there were 4 HAV's we were getting spammed all over so a brought down my AV heavy load out just managed to get close enough to lob one onto the lead HAV and.... He freaked!!! I have never seen a HAV back up so fast!! he just lost all shields and I started to chew up his armour with my FG I still died and we lost the match but they have an incredible tide turning ability if used right. I still laughed maniacally to the end of the match even though we lost I would love to try it in a close fighting map where I can get in real close and use my FG to full effect!! MWHAHAHAHA!!!!!! |

Thanks for the reply. They are designed for a very specific role then, Can we expect to see AV grenades doing less damage against shields in the future then? |

I use the flux grenades if tossed right they take sheilds completely off. If the soldier is low on life and sheilds if hes caught in the explosion he CAN die doesnt always happen. They do the job they are supposed to i think though the blast on impact is what kills the soldier. I throw them regularly 1 outta 20 die . |

Alright, that makes some sense, But i had over 100 armor HP left. that's way more then a speicalized grenade should do. |

it does ive noticed that the only tanks that are a real pain in the ass to take down are shield tanks because swarms and av nades seem to do more dmg vs armor than shields so thats where my initial guess for the flux nade came in
hopefully CCP can get them workin as intended and also add in the other stuff so ppl can stop moaning about tanks and we can fully see if they OP or not when all the stuff they keep sayin is coming is actually in |

flux grenades don't track like an AV grenade does, so they're not really in direct competition.
not to mention flux grenades splash well, whereas AV grenades are very weak on splash.
so just because there's a grenade that's good against shields doesn't mean the AV grenade would have to somehow only be good against armor. |

But how to change grenades |

You have to be joking right????? OUR ONLY DEFENCE against those OVERPOWERD HAV's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You really think theres going to be any point of playing this game if we cant defend ourselves against 4k-5k Shield HAV's, You guys better fix this ASAP, because you will lose a ton of new players that will give up when being faced to those HAV's 3-4 games in a row and being... TOTALLY Dominated..... Even Corp Battles are Based on HAV's!!!! |
