Locus grenades can instant kill someone, while flux grenades only take out the shields; what is the advantage of using flux grenades over locus grenades? Do they instantly detonate or something?
I'd like some opinions from flux grenade users.
I use them to help me kill LAV's and damage shield tanks. LAV shields don't stand much of a chance (most people use militia stuff) and my HMG easily takes them down. Shield tanks will usually run away after getting hit by 2-3 grenades doing 1200 damage each.
I also use them to take out all of the silly people that focus on shields only. |

Flux takes out shields, mass driver takes out armor. Couldn't a locus grenade of the same price just kill the enemy in one step?
Getting away from locus grenades is really easy though. Flux grendes have a huge blast radius

Yeah, my guess is
Locus grenades: the further away you are from the centre of the blast you are, the less damage it does
Flux grenades: as long as you're in the blast radius you take full damage. |

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.
Actually it IS impossible. Get gud. :P
Flux grenades only damage shields, so I fail to see how you kill someone with them. |

Except most good heavies will have around 500 armour, even on a type-II suit, which isn't exactly low... |
