I use tier 3, the M1 Locus nade and I use them well. (500 damage, 6.6 m) If people only learned how to time and aim the nades the groundpounding game would be very different indded. I use the Locus bacause it in many ways is more versatile. I can actually kill people with it for a start, and they are my only real asset to fight the fatties in cqc.
The Flux nades have practically more range, but they will not kill anybody. This means that i have to get out of my position and hunt them down for the kill, which leads to me exposing myself. The other thing is the fatties, if you meet one with 650 armor or whatnot they really don't help much.
They're also great vs people behind cover, time and aim them right and they'll explode in mid air over the target and take them out, with a Flux I have to run over there and finish the job.
I have been struck by the flux nades a couple of times but I've always managed to get out of dodge and survive.
And lastly its the sheer fun of the Locus'. Remember fun? I can't really describe how many times they've saved me from dying. There's been so many times that someone shots me in the back, I instantly start to cooc a nade and I do a 180 degree jump and release them just in time to blow up in someones face. And I've had many kills were I jump down from a high position, and I aim my throw as I fall only to release them right before landing. Blowing yourself up 50-100 times is to be expect to learn that timeing perfectly...

No no and no. Get gud.
If it wasn't for the NDA I'd make a tutorial vid for everyone who can't use them.
I will even go so far to say that the nade mechanics is the single best mechanic in Dust, indeed the best I've ever had in any FPS. |

Get gud. :P Flux grenades only damage shields, so I fail to see how you kill someone with them.
Yes my bad, gotta get gut at reading... |

"As good as" is not the same as dead. Not many no-fatties will survive a hit from my nades. |

The blast radius is the same, the difference is the loss of effectiveness you get the further you are from the blast with Locus nades. To get a kill on a guy at full health I normally have to hit really good, but then again, they still die. The follow up charge or flanking I can live without, there is others to kill normally.
However, I didn't know that they took out REs and DUs, thats very interesting indeed. Thanks for the info. |
