is the thermite grenade any good now?

[Barn]

I was wondering if it was actually worth using after the DoT fix? I haven't had a chance to try it yet

[RaideR]

Same bad, just useless

nah with the fire dot patch fire grenades just rip everything it's crazy

[Kiwachu]

I don't think it's working as intended? I tried it recently, I think it's actually a heat based grenade, causing head damage in a small area around itself.

I threw it on top of a bug spawn, they seemed to take damage. But I don't think it's really useful enough to use regularly.

Maybe if it cut through armor (like it talks about in the description) to deal full damage to heavily armored enemies or something, that would be useful.

the problem is they just dont do any dmg if the at least would strip charger armor then i would take them for going with my stalward and liberator loadout so that i could deal with chargers alone on 9

Good as a road flare I guess. Could throw one near some supplies during a dust storm for your fellow divers to find.

As a weapon... hehe, no. it is not good. Would do more damage if you could melee with it.

Or mash potatoes, it will keep it warm atlest

I use it for crowd control while I use the incendiary shotgun to actually kill bugs. Its useful in my opinion but its not going to carry you through a game.

It's pretty useless. It feels like it's supposed to be an anti-armor grenade, but it's not very good at killing anything that I've seen. In most cases I'd get more damage faster out of impact grenades.

It has a very niche use but its something no other piece of equipment can do.

You can stick them on the wings of the pelican once it lands so that it looks like sparklers. That's it.

Approx (short for approximately) 1000, that's One Thousand... grenades.

Now I don’t know if it is *viable* from a meta perspective, but I run the thermite grenades with my stalwart build against bugs, and oh boy is it fun. Yes, it takes 4 to kill a charger. But when carrying a supply pack, you have near infinite anyway. Stick literally anywhere on the body, and in 3-5 seconds the charger just isn’t a problem any more. Also, two thermites will finish up a bile titan that has survived the rail cannon or 500kg, making them instrumental for mopping up when your stratagem placement isn’t just right

thermite oneshots hulks, 4shots factory striders to face, kinda useless on everything else in the game, I still quite like it

[DapperDeeds]

I like them and they're real strong against armored objects like tanks and hulks. You can one shot a hulk if you stick one in the eye.
