Impact grenade and bug holes

[Dante]

Do you find it hard to make a perfect throw? Cause you need to aim perfectlty for grenade to hit the center of the hole.

I gave up trying to use it on bot factories. Went back to standard grenades.

darn it, that's disappointing, 30mins ago I spent 20 medals to unlock them but couldn't try them my game disconnected.

you have to get used to throwing it on fabricators and holes but the trade off is that you have a reliable one shot kill for the bipedal scout things for automatons (i dont fight bugs they r boring), also a good throw can instantly decimate a bot squad

no, you just have to angle it properly.

use the door on bot factorys (it stays open quite a bit once a bot leaves...)

You use impact grenades because you are terrified after seeing a gif of a hunter bug headbutting a normal grenade back at the player, not for practicality.

Now, if they could guaranteed crack open heavy armor on impact? Then we would be having a different conversation!

Impact grenades are not bad, so much as people as usual lie about how 'overpowered' anything capable of so much as scratching a trash mob is. mid grade problems hate em!

They are still full damage explosive grenades, so can be quite lovely for anti enemy duty if you want to kill ♥♥♥♥ with grenades that isn't practically grenade proofed.

But even as a guy who loves the extra grenades engineering bonus, I only use them when it is time to admit I won't give a ♥♥♥♥ about objective holes. Because even basic grenades love to wacky physics their way back out of a hole sometimes.

I know this is a plan that CAN work, but read it back to yourself and please consider how it sounds so much like you are lying to them hoping they kill themselves, or waste a grenade when the impact grenade hits a bot popping out of the door instead.

Impact grenade really is a poor tool for the job, even though it can technically manage. Encourage people to save them for "Throw it at the back of a tank. yeah bounce off the weak point NOW mother ♥♥♥♥♥♥!" instead.

Though walker wise, now I am curious if the splash zone of frag grenades is wide enough that throwing it behind them will kill the driver from a longer range.
