Grenades are OP.

As Much as I hate grenades!
I kinda Like grenades.


They sure do make me laugh when someone goes flying into the top of the crate or ceiling, or flipping through the air.

two reasons to level into grenades:

1. standard lvl grenades give you three per load out instead of two
2. better grenades give you a bigger blas radius.

When folks use grenades to kill me then hey its a valid tactic.
But then when I see those folks in a game as red dots and decide to also give them grenades??
Do I get messages saying good game using a valid tactic??

HELL NOOO!!!!!
They send me HATE MAIL.
.LOL!!!!!

Seriously people i guess the people who are responding that nade tossing is a valid tactic are losing something in translation from the rest of us.

For the record the reason we feel nade spam is OP is because of the instant(fuse locus) or 2s detonation on contact.

If you can cook a nade and achieve the same result then thats fine, but as it is now it has become a panic button, especially in CQC where due to its exceedingly large blast radius where it is nearly impossible to dodge.

The timer has made spamming nades EZ mode. Before if you wanted to stand on a hive and toss nades you could do so but nades wouldnt blow up for 5 seconds, now just toss and good luck getting out of the way, if you were good and could cook the nades to blow up that was one thing but now it just nothink noskill press a button.

When you guys should also be complaining about how you do not need to use any other type of locust grenade, other then the militia one. It is able to kill every suit, or heavily damage them. What's the point in using a higher leveled grenade?


Locust grenades in this game were, and still are balanced to combat replication suits. News flash, we don't have that much HP anymore.

Like I warned before,I'm going to post this link every single time.

On topic,what people need to be more focused on in regards of the grenades,is the inaccurate stats that are represented.Since when does a 6 meter blast radius equal 4~5 feet?

Basically,the complaining of the grenades in this game are the equivalent of the knife in MAG.Players that perceive themselves as more skilled that the majority of the playerbase feels like they shouldn't be getting killed by a weapon that takes far less skill to use.

Wait...you're an Imperfect now? Weren't they pissing on you when you made a thread on your thoughts about the game?

No biggie...just seemed a bit odd to me.

I don't think that's it at all Th3rd, the problem is we have a grenade cooking mechanic that specifically discourages it's use.

Personally I think their timer should be increased and damage decreased.

There's another type of locus grenade that should be the militia one instead, but I forgot the name. Whatever it is, it can be thrown further, has a larger blast radius, but does much less damage.

Principal of tough love. There is no lube or tissues in the corp hanger.

Don't see how anyone can say that the 2 sec contact timer is a good thing. On top of that nades should take longer to spawn from nano hives and eat up more of the hives total supply. Say a militia nano hive can spawn six militia nades before its depleted, not counting ammo. Better hives more nades it can spawn.

grenades and alot of other things hurt bad right now because no one has high HP yet

Lol. I'm pretty sure soldiers IRL dislike grenades as well. They don't call them OP though because they're weapons of war...

Valid tactics my kitten. They're weapons and we use them. I kill grenade spammers EASILY because guess what they're doing? Aiming a grenade at me. I have the time to dodge the grenade AND shoot them in the head.

Maybe I'm just God-Mode tho...



Oh and grenades should stay as is. Why? Because grenades are explosive weapons. We have some good armor but not so good that shrapnel and explosions don't do monster damage to us. The higher the grenade means the wider and deadlier they are. That goes for everything. You can get something cheap and use it effectively (E.G. AK-47) or you can get a costly weapon that shoots faster, preciser, and has more damage.

You don't "need" higher stuff to win but they raise your chances a fair amount imo.

TEBOW is exactly right. When people hit B series on average, one hit Milita grenade kills will not happen. Just think of this as a test period for Grenade Jumping 101.

This is true.When I ran my B Series in the last build,I had 467 hp on my shield and I never got killed by a militia grenade with full shields.

The only thing that needs to be done to the nades:

Give us back the 4 sec fuse. Spamming will be almost useless, we will have time to dodge them now.

This will reward the players who cook, aim and time the nades properly, as they should be.

There is nothing more that can be said on the matter. Damage, blast radius, basically everything is ok, except for the fuse time.

This.

Also, grenades ONLY blow up when it hits something. I threw a few high up in the air but nothing happened until it touched the ground so cooking a grenade doesn't appear to work either.
