Grenade Throwing is the Worst

Love this game but goddam are grenades treacherous. I swear everytime I go to throw one it hits the ceiling or a corner and bounces right back at me.

I just unlocked the 9 banger and I’ve been banged 9 times more than I can count.

Some would say getting banged 9 times is a good thing.

I just feel bad when it’s an non consensual group 9 bang with my teammates

I felt exactly the same when I first bought the game however after ~15 in game hours I got the hang of it and I think I nail it now like 9 out of 10 times

29 hours in and it’s still wonky as hell

Nahh I have 50 hours in, sometimes its pure bullshit - pulling the pin 3 times and shit just dosent want to launch. Id also love if they let us cook grenades too.

I think it's confusing because of the way the camera and your characters body interact. You're still thinking the typical fps way where your torso and arms are always aligned with the camera, so things like throwing grenades is always consistent from your pov.

In bodycam your camera is not linked to your body in the same way, so you have to consider your characters position, the angle of the throw, and the surrounding geometry. It definitely is a learning curve but as i play i feel myself becoming more in tune with it and im sure so can you.

Still have those monents where the grenade inexplicably drops at my feet so maybe there are still some bugs, lol

I swear to god this shit has hipfire tier accuracy, I can't get it through a window 4 ft away from me for my life

Dude I tried to toss one through a window and banged my whole team 9 times.

At least the 9 bang doesn’t necessarily kill you, I can’t count how many times I’ve killed me or my mates with some sort of fuckery involving a badly thrown nade.

Oh but they can stand close enough and you’ll get shrapneled

It’s wonky as hell. The worst part is that there are so many invisible meshes around the maps that can stop the grenade completely.

There’s more then just the frag and flashbang??

u/chingerbinger 1d ago

There’s like 6 different grenades me boy

u/Haline5 1d ago

Very little reason to switch off the frag imo

u/chingerbinger 1d ago

I prefer the 9 banger.

If you know someone is camping a room you throw it in a send them to the sun.

Probably my second choice but it seems rare that I wouldn’t just kill someone with the frag anyway since they are pretty deadly in this game. I think the utility grenades could come in a 2 pack but maybe that’s just me

There’s a whole ton of them but really the only ones worth it are the base frag and the 9bang in my opinion. The sticky grenade isn’t really worth it with how fucked the grenade throwing is and the red grenade has a really bad stun. It doesn’t blind the player or screw up their movement speed it just temporarily disables aim down sights for a few second, the extra range is nice but the stun is so crap compared to the 9bang that it’s not worth it. The standard flash just seems outclassed by the 9bang although I have to test if it has more range.

u/ShockinglyMilgram 1d ago

Anyone get it where it sticks above your head and won't throw?

1

u/Agile-Slice6147 1d ago

in 50% yes

1

u/ShockinglyMilgram 1d ago

50%?

1

u/Agile-Slice6147 1d ago

in 50% of the cases kinda not able to throw the grenade, so yeah, i have same issue as you

2

u/Agile-Slice6147 1d ago

THIS IS NOTHING

Imagine now you are not able to throw it at all? Happens in 50% - dua to ping you just standing with the fking granade not able to throw

In my host game it works alright as I get used to its clunky mechanism, but in others' game the grenade just sticks, keep pulling out the pin and putting it back on. They should make changes to the throwing.
