Question About The Hand Grenade.

Hello.

I was wondering if a grenade can go off in your hand in 3.0. If so a neat tatic to try out whenever a outpost is being overrun is to phase in and hold onto the grenade and do a suicide attack.

    That “neat” tactic is one of the reasons they don’t go off in your hand.

    Still you should be able to 'cook' them, bring some skill into using them instead of them just being anti-WoL weapons...

    By cook you mean like on TFC how you hold them for a certain amount of beeps then throw it? If so yes they should allow that. Not to often your going to come across a WoL that you can't just jump over. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    No, it does not cook. If an onos devours you, nothing really happens.

    well, if the server has ff on then someone is bound to practice their aim on fellow squad members. sure, it could be a problem for the first couple of days/weeks after 3.0 is released. but in my opinion you should be able to cook them.

    Do the grenades blow up on impact with enemies or the timer has to run out?

    Hand grenades have low damage now anyways.
    They almost tickle a 'WoL'.

    Being able to suicide attack with a grenade would just be the rines equivalent of xenocide? And being able to cook them would enable you to actually hit skulks with them <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    No. You have to throw them in order to activate, and after a determained short period, they blow up.

    Maybe Flay changed some things in the Friday's patch to make it more effective though.

    What exactly are the hand grenades for anyways? If they aren't for structures, and they do little damage. Are they just for throwing it in a hole your unsure about?

    They take forever to blow up, so skulks and lerks can get away...

    They do low dmg so no point using on onos or buildings <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    If we could cook them they might be useful for the smaller aliens, atm all they seem to be usable for is killing the ickle alien hiding behind the RT <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
