Wtf is Arc star range??????

[Sgt. YippyYap]

I get a grenade warning on my screen. I run away from it so it disappears. I think I'm safe, but it still hits me and destroys my shield?

I was out of the AoE but it still hits me

[Comrade Pickles]

Is it possible there were two arc stars?

no, there was only one :/
One "ping" when the arc star lands, one arc star countdown, one arc star warning on my screen

[Tatsuyo]

Yeah, same happened to me.

Yikes :/
It happens a lot actually... But I posted it now after it happened again

I don't know why, but I'm sorry you experience it too...

[thepicgamer]

maybe it was stuck to you?

[THESMF1210]

i think the indicator disappears too early and actually with it gone you are still in its range just

[Dephty]

The game just has horrible grenades.

Thermites have a chance of turning into a ball instead of spreading into the line.
Arc stars can either do a ♥♥♥♥ ton of damage from far away, little damage from point blank or none at all if there's a little raise on the ground.

Grenades have horrible damage inconsistencies like for example today I took a grenade explosion to my face for under 25 meanwhile I did 100 with a grenade that was on the other side of those little walls on WE towers and today/yesterday I did 100 to a lifeline with a grenade that was above her on another floor's stairs.

Definitely wasn't stuck on me, as there was no "electrifying" effect on my screen. Nor did I take any damage when the grenade landed

Yeah, could be
That's how I feel. But I was quite a bit away. I don't know the official AoE of Arc stars, but I'm pretty sure I should have been out of it. Unless it's bigger than I think, and the AoE does indeed effect a larger area
But I doubt so, because that would happen always, not just at some times

Yeah, thermites can be weird. Sometimes they are like, just one vertical line if they hit weird angle or something, I don't know.
I know arc stars do 100 on shields, 70 on health, so that's why you see inconsistencies maybe. I didn't have inconsistency with arc star damage, just the AoE. So I wouldn't know more about that

I know about frag grenade inconsistencies tho... I can never rely on those. And sometimes when I think I'm far enough away, I take full 100 damage. And not just that, but I get yeeted across the screen as well. Just insane knockback

yep, watched an octane gop through my thermite yesterday, i lobbed it at the door of the room he was in, door opened and he ran straight out and through the thermite, nothing, not a single bit of damage, lucky when he came up the zipline to push me, i dropped him with a gun instead, almost thought he was cheating, or maybe he was, maybe theres a nade hack out there....?

I see enemies walking out of my Fuse ult so many times without taking any burn damage. And it works like a big thermite grenade
So I'm not surprised if the same thing was happening with thermite nades themselves...

No I meant it as literally doing only like 19 damage to a full shield from close ish and sometimes doing 90 or 100 from pretty far away.

The amount of games I have lost because thermite didn't decide to work and someone got their heal in.

[THESMF1210]

guess thermite is broken then, maybe arc star range also broken
