So we should only balance them around Scout suits? What?

Scouts, and every suit should be allowed to tank at least one hit from them without going down, they should become more of a 'Finisher' weapon, which only get used to get out of a tough situation.

They're still be used in gunfights Vs almost every role, to weaken the target (Or kill) before a gunfight, to either end it quickly, or end it before it even starts.

Um, you do realize that grenades are intended to be one-hit-kill weapons, right? Unless of course you want DUST 514 to become Looney Toons 514.

No scout suit should be able to survive any grenade. If you're still adamant about it then you might as well nerf my nova knives since the ZN-28 knives can one-hit-kill most assaults while the Ishukone knives can almost one-hit-kill a proto heavy and they are far more powerful than a shotgun.

What the hell happened to the drastic changes IWS was talking about, warning people not to stock up on them. Another month of Pay2Win, and Scouts being insta-killed by these things it seems.

Right now, there are differences between PG/CPU and blast damage and radius for contact grenades within the same tier. With Uprising 1.3, these differences will be removed and all contact grenades of the same tier will now have the same fitting requirements as well as damage/radius." What does that bit mean there? Isn't there only one Contact Nade per tier? Or are they making the Contact Nades match regular Grenade stats? (Hopefully not)

I'm fine with that, I'll probably start using it again now that it wont be the FOTM, its the perfect sidearm for a Scout due to its low CPU/PG requirements too.

People won't be able to spam contact nades anymore and will have to save it for that one perfect moment that they really need it. Yeah, like when that Shottie Scout appears. After all, you only need one

Nova Knifes, require skill, have to be melee range to the target. Normal Nades, easy to dodge, can be cooked, but takes timing and skill to get the cooking just right. Fused Nades, throw = +50 Kill

And besides, be glad that the contact nades are being nerfed to just one nade per fit. And since nano hives deplete faster when replenishing nades, this won't be a problem and I for one welcome the changes. I'm happy with the changes, maybe its just because IWS hyped it up so much that I thought they'd get nerfed to the ground, and I got over-excited. Oh well, I guess I can last one more month.
