G-123 Thermite is the most pointless nade so far.
"capable of burning through som armor" is just a lie. unless the devs mean the famous wet paper armour that everyone is running around it. because it sure as hell doesn't work on anything i've thrown it at so far. i even let it burn itself out, just ran around a rock waiting for it to do anything to the enemy. other than making a pretty spark on the face of the enemy, nothing happened. was this not tested before they added it? no wait, not testing stuff and letting playerbase yell at them for a few weeks before they nerf it is what these devs do best. good job dev team.

I ran the extraction pilot timer reduction booster and the ETA timer is ~2:30m, what a joke, it should be ~30s for spending a booster slot for it.

I assumed the point of the thermite grenade was to remove armor, not kill chargers outright. I haven't tested it yet though, does it destroy the armor plate or not?

Only thing I've managed to kill with this thing is myself by holding it too long.

no, it's not cut off armors

They aren't exactly brute grenades from halo 3... wish they were.

This thing doesn't even kill a hive guard. If you hit one of the jaws it won't kill a warrior either. It also doesn't do anything against armour. It's either bugged or designed to be useless.

6 nades to charger leg, nothing. 6 nades to charger face, nothing. Can't burn through armor to save its life. Low damage, doesn't destroy armor as advertised, absolutely worst unlock in the game at the moment.

I tried to throw a few in a bot fabricator vent. Nothing -- it just gave a firework show. I tried to throw it in the open front door. Nothing -- it just gave a firework show.

I put back the default grenades on my loadout. I'm using the new engineering armor 'cuz it looks cool, and I don't want 6 grenades that can't even bust fabricators. Now I find out they're useless in general, nice.

Those were a cool concept. Finally something you can use against heavy armor besides the stupid impact grenades, but it's worthless as AoE and you have to aim them well and let it cook into the enemy, I was going to main these, but so much for that.

The tooltip for it states 100 dmg. That's pathetic for a grenade especially considering the nature of Thermite wich burns at roughly 2400°C

I think it's funny watching chargers run around with sparks flying out their butt.

If it could actually destroy armor as advertised, the low damage would be justified. But it doesn't. It's currently just a fancy sparkler.

It should do some fire damage and really cook off any armor plating around the affected area. That's basically all it will do, so it better do it right.

Have not tried it on Bots but against bugs its pretty worthless hit a charger dead on teh leg, did not even break armor, hit him dead on the head, did not do anything.

The eruptor though.....man...this thing is great.

It is probably bugged and working inconsistently. I managed to kill a Hulk with one of those after a couple shots from the new explosive rifle. He was running toward me so it didn't stick on the vent on its back... It stuck on the top of the hulk's head and somehow managed to kill it. I was away from the team somewhat, unless someone hit it for a moment while I was running facing forward (Away from the hulk).

I will run some additional tests but so far seems to be bugged and inconsistent

You are the first "no caps" guy(zoomer) in this forum i see, that
have a normal brain and a normal opinion and don't whiteknight-simp the devs
. All while not being overly toxic. Gj.


PS :
Gave you a small reward Helldiver. o_o7

PS PS : Happily surprised to see a rare exception to the rule of my "block list" of "no caps"
