Throwing back an enemy Grenade
Has anybody done it so far? I haven't seen anyone do it just yet cos the first instinct for most, including I, is to gtfo haha I'd like to hear your stories or thoughts

The most badass I've seen was a teammate landed on it to prevent it from blowing all 6 of us in a room. ♥♥♥♥ing hero... even for a video game that takes guts haha idk that really took effect on me.

We only play COOP and 99% of the time the bots cook the nades so there is zero window to even FIND the nade, let alone throw it. "Plunk!...BOOM!"
But yeah, that 1% where I've seen one sail in I maybe had a couple seconds to react and was too slow. Action beats reaction every single time.

Second this. Never thrown one back, ever. I either die, or I get the heck out of there double time. Plain and simple. I hear that plunk? I'm outie.

I haven't seen it done yet but would be cool, I'm one of those guys that jump on the grenade to save my fellow soldiers works wonders :Killmaster:

I throw them back if I can see them.

First press F - Then it will wait for you to push your mouse_1 - During that time you should be able to find a window and throw the grenade out the room again
- and press the mouse_1 button (fire button)

Woah I just thought you'd press F and it would automatically throw. Thanks for that mouse 1 heads up

Kinda gives you some perspective the reaction time real soldiers do in real life. How do they carry their balls of steel with all the gear they're carrying already.

I've got the achievement, but I've never even tried to do it. I guess there's a chance that I did it accidentally, but I definitely didn't see it.
The only time I see a grenade land is when I'm spectating someone.

He's wrong it is just push F instant throw. I think that honestly it is only useful though when you drop your own nade (don't judge me we all f*ck up sometimes). As others said when I hear the plunk I'm out that window so f*cking fast.....

I tried trying to throw back a bad nade from a teammate. Haven't been lucky so far or fast enough to see the prompt yet tho. Been an enduring quest since as we all agree we all run from it instead lol

Yes most of the time it's in co-op when I do, but a few times occasionally in casual. I usually will go for the toss back over just running out of the room since most of the time you'll get gunned down by whoever threw it or by enemies in the other exit (at least in my experience)

I just sprint to it, prone, spam the ever loving ♥♥♥♥ out of the interact key, stand, spam M1 throw out window, smirk at your reflexe skills, and be cheered by the one guy who saw it all :lunar2019coolpig:

Either all that or I die because they cooked it too long :lunar2019coolpig:

Is there a video where you see it in action? Just so you get an idea on how to the mechanics work

Theres some videos on Youtube. But I figured the one in the gameplay trailer was self explanatory. I've yet to try it myself but here's hoping I get lucky or really unlucky you know hahaha
