As far as I am concerned, the only major change to grenades is the greater accuracy and control of throwing the grenades.


I think it's most likely that we are all back to 0 again (Especially in the shield and armor department). It definitely reveals a bit of a flaw in the initial stages of our growth as mercs. Because as far as I am concerned, this issue was non-existent when we were 2-3 months of seasoned mercs.

Nonetheless, adapt to this playing field. Don't want to get grenades? Keep your distance. You have plenty of weapon choices at militia stage to pick from (Assault Rifles, Snipers, to certain extent, Forge Guns).

And even getting and maintaining standard laser rifles is a proper weapon to fight long distances. There is nade spamming, but it's not something worth calling a major flaw.

Nade damage is fine as it is

Was just in an Ambush match and it was grenade spam!
Boom, boom,boom,boom,boom,boom...........ad nauseaum.

Militia grenades need zero SP and make that "seven years to level up" USELESS.
Just use nanohives and militia grenades and thats the only weapon you need.

There is no shooter in the game at present.
Its the same broken game mechanics from the remote explosives build.

Dear god shut up, put skills into armor and shield defenses, use extenders and plates, then buy better dropsuits.

Problem effing solved, militia nades cant save you now.

Note i said use extenders. shields resist locus grenades better.

This memo has been given 5000+ times now. trade a complex damage mod or two for an effing DEFENSE MODULE if they offend you so.

The problem isnt really the short fuses or the dmg as much as it is the AH PANIC NADE button. It you had to switch to nades to be able to use them and then manually switch back to a gun that would fix the whole issue as then you are taking a risk with all the switching between weapons.

Actually i prefer flux grenades followed by AR or mass driver up the nose. Im not fond of militia nades. fused locus are kinda fun but flux and AV are my true loves.

EDIT: Plus I find your outrage delightful.

Outrage at a bug??
LOL!!

Plus in further testing it looks like in some cases just as when the grenade is tossed if you are moving then it acts as if you fell from a higher elevation and thus you recieve damage that is more than the stated 400hp.
Thats on ground thats supposed to be even yet the system acts as if you just fell a great distance.

Try this:
Surround a clone and if it tries to move the change in height elevation of one or two inches will add damage as if the clone falls from a very high elevation and thus you have a death on the War Barge.

There you go death from "falling" one to two inches or two hundred hp damage plus a militia grenade at the proper time and its OHK.
