Can someone give me a little info on how grenades work?


I have read that many have the same range as their radius....meaning that they hurt you too.



Does this -only- happen when you hit?

If you miss the target, what happens? Does anything take damage?(you, other ppl/mobs/etc)



thanks!

Yup thats about it. You throw get caught in your own blast ergo you get ham cost to use and ham damage getting hit. YOu miss the target but get hit by the blast. Are these not great to have?



Ifn you bought some put them in the bank maybe some day we will have a use for them (maybe not)

Just an idea, but, if they cut the minimum damage say in half, or maybe down to 25% of what is it now.


Increase the range out to something viable 35 or 40m? If I remember right traps have a 40m max range so it's already determined that they don't think someone can throw well past that. (they've already said the range CM's can throw poison/disease is not intended and will be changed)


but the trick to all this is that they increase accuraccy to where we almost never miss. It just doesn't make much sense that you can throw a high explosive at something and not do ANYTHING to it. But it does make sense that you wont always hit it with the full blast.


with the range fixed so we aren't blowing ourselves up, and minimum damage lowered we are in no way guaranteed huge damage every throw, we wil still pay the HAM costs and with the accuracy raised way up we know that we aren't completely wasting a grenade and HAM most of the time.


None of these changes seem like any coding beyond changing some numbers and running it on the TC to so how it works, there are no changes in game mechanics, so it's possible that the DEV's may beable to help us in this regard maybe by the next major publish.


What do you all think?

Been making Thermal Detonators lately and trying to figure out what that Optional Enhancement is. Kliknik Glands and Acklay venom don't go in there, so what does?

nothing, it is broken from when commando's made grenades in beta, that's what I was told.
