Just a q from an aspiring Commando:



Are grenades that great at all, or are they just something that commando's are required to use to get to Master? just curious...

High-end grenades are good for PvP - Protons and Thermal Detonators.

yeah they get better. c12s and c22s and cryos will probably kill you when you throw them.


glops, thermals, imperials and protons DEFINETELY kill you.

I use C22's in PvE frequently, have never had a damage or wound problem with them yet. I use them when we get a big swarm of things, like spiders on Endor. Our pull is a fencer so they swarm her while I toss grenades into the middle, does very good damage to all of them and I can get 2k combat exp. The important thing is to have a fixed spot to throw to and to be outside of the effect radius. They would be more tricky to use in PvP since you can't really expect someone to just stand in one spot, at least not if they are any good,as they can quickly go out of range or get too close for grenades.

I bought a crate of Glop Grenades and crate of C-22's. When I use them on a lair, I'll do about 782-1500 points of damage. Not bad, but a little expensive.

Lucky **edit**. I haven't been able to find crates of grenades or a weaponsmith who will make them, in a while, without charging 300k per crate of C22 since it was not worth thier time.

rayvin, your best bet is to harvest the resources needed yourself, keep a healthy stock of them at your house, and ask a weaponsmith to make youa couple of templates using your materials.


you can then have your own factory churn crates of them out.

yeah protons rock,


group of four imps and myself all in a firefight, one proton and we're all on our backs looking up. Good thing there were other rebels around to kill the imps andpatch me up. But yeah, just make sure you're more than 10m from the target when you toss it.

This has actually been my plan as of late. I have been keeping kilick glands (used to enhance grenades)on hand and I even purchased a skill tape with a 3 for grenade assembly. I'm going to become good friends with some weaponsmith... I'm just not sure who yet.
