I was just in a game and watched as someone threw one into the room and then detonated it. I thought you had to set these for them to work, now there just over the top grenades. Is this a glitch or is the remote explosive just another flaylock or TAC AR. Its one thing to be outplayed and I always look before I step but if all you have to do is throw them and run, this is going to get out of hand quick. |

Did he detonated the RE immediately after he dropped it? |

When you set a remote explosive there is a 1 or 2 second delay before you can detonate it. If he was able to do that then you deserve to die. |

I can't throw them but this is what I do, to some degree. Speed through a clutch of fighting guys, drop the RE and hopefully clear the blast radius and avoid being shot as I activate it.
If someone is chasing me, I leave them behind me as I retreat (run away).
It's not always entirely effective and most mercs have caught on or catch on quickly. They seem to be fine as they stand, I've never seen someone actually throw one. |

you have to detonate them. If they were proto or even advanced he can detonate them fairly fast. No glitch, he just got you is all. |

Throw them, wait for them to set, then detonate. Thats about 5 seconds before you can actually detonate one. They are very tactical and very powerful. They are not OP and are exactly where they need to be; a powerful tactical "weapon" that requires skill and timing to use. If only I had a infantry proximity explosive, I wanna hear you cry about that one ;). |

Want to do something fun? Just shoot the explosive.
The wuss has already run off, I get quite a kick imagining the REer going *click *click* "AW KITTEN" when nothing happens.
I haven't been RE'd outside of objective boobytrapping (grr) since I started doing it. |

The real problem with them is that I've seen people detonate them after they just died. That's extremely unfair. Why can't I shoot people when I die?
Yesturday I saw someone running up to two me and two others. I saw him throw one right under ones feet, die, then blew it up a couple seconds later and killed the two other guys. It was funny because I was backing up and just watching it happen. |

He has to respawn to detonate its their own fault for staying in the same spot for 10+ seconds.... |

Whats funny is that REs used to cloak so they were invisible. I miss those days.
It actually allows you to detonate your REs while bleeding out if you go down with REs equipped. Don't know if I should be divulging this secret but... Perhaps it's intentional.
What I truly miss is hiding REs in the base of the Null cannon. They pop out now. :( I actually have to think when considering where to place them now.

Now i understand how they can do it. After reading some of your inputs I have a better understanding. looks like I may be looking into this hidden gem myself. By the way this is not a nerf or I wish they would do away with forum this is a learning process. By the way I give props to all who outplay me in this manner. it was a bit of a shock to see how good of a weapon this is, I am intrigued. |

REs are awesome. I enjoy playing as a suicide bomber with them. By the way, you can drop them from edge of roof on someone below. This way they travel a bit further than normal. Lots of fun.
Another hint - when trapping objectives, put one on the objective itself and two more at the edge of flux blast radius (pretend you threw flux at objective and mine the edge). This way if enemy throws flux grenade to clear the objective, he gets hit by the secondary ones that denonate from flux. :)
Even now with the delay in arming on the REs you can still don a scout suit (BPO works nicely), grab REs and go crazy. The only annoying thing is - you can't activate equipment while sprinting. Shame there isn't an option to sprint while holding rather than toggle (with DS3). Normally you have to either click left stick again or stop to stop sprinting and place RE. Quite annoying. |

Watched someone RE two snipers on hill the other day. Bodies went flying. Something to see.
REs are fine. They take quick thinking and luck most of the time to be effective in CQC. |

Talking of respawning. Fun thing to do is put RE on top of enemy droplink. Walk off a little (stay in direct line of sight of droplink) and FACE AWAY. The moment you start taking damage, detonate. Seems redberries just can't resist shooting someone who is facing away when respawning... This works better with a little bit of a buffer :P |

You're exaggerating when you say "threw". They're placded like nanohives/uplinks, but without the slide.
Can you be sure it wasn't already there, and he just checked the location to detonate? |

What most likely happened is someone else shot the RE, or a grenade detonated it, the explosion killed you, and the kill feed showed you were killed by the Remote Explosive. Most likely the RE was not detonated by the user triggering it, but by it being shot at or blown up by a grenade.
Just sayin. |

I just want to be able to see them once they're deployed. Like on Objective installations, I should be able to peep my head in and possibly see the REs on the ground or scotch taped to the wall.
*Fun fact: Scotch tape doesn't taste like scotch and barely gets you ****** up. |
