The guy in the Proto suit has more efficient ways of killing noobs that 15 AUR grenades that come in a two pack. Just about everybody with a KDR over 2.0 has better ways to grief than 15 AUR grenades.

I don't see a lot of "rookie" players complaining about grenades, I see a lot of "elite" players.

I havent used mine either until i read this thread and also bought 2 merc packs (value can't be beat really).

Took a suit, dropped down a gauged hive and went to town ....normally i get 5-8 pm's about being a hacker on PC shooters a day and i get to harvest some tears, so far on Dust i got 2 mails total or so.

1 game with Fused nade spam nets me 2 mails lol :p

Been a while since i harvested some tears.

I really have no issue with the Fused nade itself, but being able to spam em ontop a of a Nano hive or depot is a bit OP, coupled with a Proto Suit so i did not die at all and it lets me keep my nade.

Maybe they should change nades & hives and any deployable as expended the moment you throw/use them instead of only losing them on death. Makes sense afterall.

I throw AV grenades at the enemy. Half the time its a blast watching them duck and dive,than feeling duped

This proto suit guy begs to differ with both of your points. I underlined and emboldened the important part about the protosuit for you.

A) no complaints

B) griefed ppl with fused grenades

Thermal grenades- moderate bonus against shields, contact explosion, can kills, but reduced armor damage.

Pulse flux- half the radius of normal flux, 25% damage, but pulses 3-4 times over 6 seconds.

'Brutor' Grenade- Nuclear based, massive damage against shields, massive damage vs armor, 10.5m blast radius, causes temporarily blindness to any looking at the mushroom cloud. DoT is applied to anyone who survives. Leaves an on going AoE of radiated ground. Mutates clone DNA- chance of having SP randomly reallocated.

Locus nades are pay to win in their current iteration.

The fact that you have a instant nade that has the same effect as the previous locus nades prior to the contact fuse fix is a major problem and one the community has widely spoken on.


Im not against them being in the game but then they need to have a nerf in radius or damage. Perhaps even both. There needs to be a trade off for using a grenade that blows up on contact and isk/aur cost cant be that trade off as its not really a gameplay deterrant.

In fact now weapon, suit, module in this game should be attempted to be risk/reward adjusted using ISK/AUR as the adjustment factor as it isn't a true deterrent in the long run.

It will either create P2W or it will allow ISK rich corps to run a constant barage of gear that others simply couldnt match.

Balance for these things need to be created around weapon tradeoffs risk/reward not anything else.

So if a weapon has a benefit in one area it has to have a deficiency somewhere else.

Yep, that's basically what I'm trying to get across to people.

FYI...the fused nades on the Raider scout can only be used w/ that suit.
