its iffy, doesn't happen every time. i think its only happening when the flux nade is right on top of someone. I don't mind them doing that, but its probably a bug since it didn't do that before 1.2 afaicr. |

Wasn't the Flux glitch only viable if the enemy jumped right at the moment of the Flux's detonation? I remember that being the cause of Flux deaths before Uprising. |

It's not supposed to kill you and it was already adressen by a DEV in another thread.
Fun-fact: I once had 3 suicides in a game because I sometimes don't really care about my low shields as a armor-tanker. Well I guess not only the enemy was surprised those times :(. |

Not a glitch.
Today some guy was spamming flux grenades and they did about 100 damage to my armor each time one went off when my shields were down.
I'm thinking this is programmed into the game... |

Yeah the pre-uprising flux nade glitch was jumping right at the moment of detonation and it was always an insta-kill by the wave of explosion or something, but now seems weird that they remove only partial damage not only on shields but in armor too sometimes.
At first I thought it was like before: jumping at the moment of detonation, but after a few matches one guy throw at me one and I barely escape the full AoE (without jumping) but it did blast me about 150 hp of my shield so maybe is about the full range of the flux.
It's just a theory and since I've also seen scouts getting blown up by me throwing the flux right at their faces maybe I'm wrong... it's still funny seeing people getting killed by flux nades on the kill feed tho. |

Flux grenades kill. In my observations, they are most likely to do it when armor is reduced. Standing on or very near the actual grenade when it goes off increases the chance significantly. Scout suits can pop on the first one.
A Heavy I used to run Logi Bro for used them often. He never failed to get a kill with them each day. Sometimes he got them every single match. |

not only it takes away ur shield but kill aswell?
this is not good
Flux should do what they say they do , not do what they shouldnt do lol
i should go flux aswell since it can be exploited like that , well until CCP fix it and if not flux is the way to go |

Yip its a bug when someone jumps just as it goes off iv found 6/10times it will kill them. How ever they have to jump precisely when it goes off. |

You sure? Anytime I've gotten a kill it's had nothing to do with jumping.

I regularly run with flux grenades, and I noticed after the last patch was deployed that I could actually kill with it. I've only had case of OHK - against a scout - but it's actually capable of decimating someone's armor, too.
I get the impression that this is how they work at the moment, intentional or not:
- First grenade takes out the target's shield
- If the target's shield starts to regenerate, even if only a little, before I hit him with the second grenade, it does no damage to armor. It just depletes the shield again.
- If I hit the target with two or three grenades in rapid succession, the second and third starts eating into the armor. It's not by far as effective as a locus grenade, but still damages the armor of an unshielded target most of the time. I have seen a couple of cases where it didn't, but I'm guessing that was due to hit detection issues rather than a no-damage-to-armor absolute.
I tested this particularly thoroughly last week. I don't know the map's name, but it's the one with a city complex in the middle and a CRU+a supply depot close to one of the city's gates. The supply depot is on a raised platform, the CRU is at ground level. The enemy was spawning in like crazy on the CRU, my team was keeping them mostly behind the CRU with suppressive fire. I was standing behind the supply depot, lobbing flux grenades over the depot to the general CRU area, as fast as I could. I think I got about 7 or 8 out. Meanwhile, a sniper on my squad was observing the whole thing through his sniper rifle scope. He said it was quite obviously my grenades that were hitting the enemy, and their armor was going down a solid chunk every time they got caught in a blast. This was further confirmed as I got about 4 assists and 5 kills out of it. |

Ive killed and been killed by Fluxes, never anything to do with jumping. I remember before Uprising I could kills guys in LAVs if I threw them just right.
Now it seems if you deplete shields and toss another it can kill, unsure if its a bug. One time when it happened it took about 1/2 my armor after shields were gone. It seems to "bleed" over. |

I'd say it's a feature which came back.
Fluxes used to kill about nine months ago, somewhere in E3 to late Codex, perhaps even later. |

I've noticed it but only when armor is very low. I usually toss one to keep someone to regaining their shields on me. |

It has nothing to do with standing in the middle of the blast/close the grenade, it just does seems to do more damage to armor in the middle of the blast. Jumping or not don't seem to matter (think it did when the bug appeared in the prvious build, not now) if you don't believe me: try to flux a installation.
And for the record it's not meant to do armor damage, even if the damage is consistent it's still a bug (that is confirmed by a DEV) |
