You sure it didn't put up near a vehicle and the blast radius didn't hit you? |

Sure about that, sound designed is kind of ****** in this game right now and usually you wont hear an lav until its on top of you |

Yeah it happened to me as well.
I thought it was just another one of CCP's way of punishing me because I didn't chose to roll with their beloved Caldari. |

Nope, vehicles disappear pretty quickly and I saw the area I died at before I went there.
It was just clear terrain, nothing there. |

This has gotten me thinking, can you tell me what map you were on and where in the map? How long after he threw the grenade that it blew up? Everything that was around you, maybe turrets or installations |

I don't remember the map name.
No turrets or installations in that area.
The grenade blew up the second it hit me. |

Well now I know what I'm doing the next few games I'm in.
Here's hoping they do more than just confuse and bewilder.
Edit: if I had to take a serious guess at the mechanism I'd figure it's contact detonation whenever it contacts something that IFFs red... that said I would've thought it would make enemy installations valid targets. It's been a couple months since I tried and failed to use them for that purpose, maybe it's been changed? |

Positive it was an AV nade?
Ive gotta try and test this out later, if these things act like contact grenades when directly hitting a suit its going to be a game changer |

They dont explode on contact when you hit vehicles with them
Ive seen them bounce off a tanks hull into the air then the tracking kick in and it whip back down and explode |

I did this to someone once, it was rather amusing. I was aiming for the LAV behind the guy but sidestepped right into it, blew up in his face (literally). Different from your experience but I still find it amusing. That said AV nades are definitely the most bugged, I've seen them do some strange crap, the tracking function is normally what's effected, I've had AV nades fly into the ground, bounce off vehicles, fly straight through a vehicle (that was weird, unexpected and got me roadkilled, never had it happen again though, weird fluke), manage to miss the entire vehicle but somehow hit the driver. They are without doubt the huggiest grenade in existence |

No, then it would've said the same thing as if the AVer would have crushed them. I know, because I've killed people that way plenty of times before |

Scaring them at least. Although they never question why that scout just ran into his own grenade. |

Sometime the game glitches like that. I've been run over by an LAV when there was no LAV around me and I've also gotten a random kill when I did absolutely nothing and was in the middle of nowhere. |
