Smoke grenades

[rayvonyo3]

So I get that if I'm in a smoke cloud I'm harder to hit but also its harder to hit the enemy. Makes sense.

What doesn't make sense though is that I threw a smoke grenade into the emery to bait them out. However they didn't take the bait & had no penalty to their hit chances. Rolling 72+ chance to hit.

Is this a bug as it goes against the laws of physics?

Depends on the quality of their gear that cancels out smoke maluses

Thermal vision counters smoke grenades, so if you use night vision googles, for example, you won't be affected by it. As said, the same goes for enemies. We are planning on adding the enemy resistances information when throwing grenades so that you can see the effect it would have (and maybe chose to use a higher grade one).

You answered my next question. How can I tell whether my smoke grenade is useless on them

In addition (same fight against Braxton) I am finding it impossible. Ive won this fight many times on previous playthroughs. |Now im finding that I get hit with a grenade in the 1st turn. Then the lasting affects to certain characters (namely Jed, Red Beard) last for the whole fight not just the 1 round.

I cant remember this happening before. Could it be the update that has caused it?

To be clear. Taking Jed as an example. 6+ rounds after initial grenade he still has -60 status debuff
