Um. If you're not a commando yet, you're not certified in any grenades at all, so no grenade will do much damage for you, even if you manage to hit with it.

There is a line of grenade for non commando's I believe, forget what they're called though.

well don't I feel silly. You are right I am not really certified to use anytype of grenade. So I guess it was like throwing rocks at the lair. That was a waste of 1500 credits they did not even explode.



Thanks

i think c12 frags are usable by everyone... All others, including c22 frags, are commando only.

Yup C12 are useable by all, C22 or for commando.... They both look like the wire mesh traps, so make sure you get the right ones

C12's are the only ones you can use properly before getting novice commando. And if you paid 1500 credits for C12's, you got ripped off.

You can use a light fragmentation grenade, it's astarting certification. They suck though, and the damage is quite horrible, as well as the accuracy. Grenades are worthless unless you can actually use the grenades that you get with Commando.

Seems no grenades are even worth the investment any more. I can do twice the dmg with any other weapon in half the time it takes to use a grenade. I even tried a 1500-3000 proton grenade. They not as effective as just shooting the bad guy. They might be more worth if with a uber mod...ie. Fast fused wiring kit. but then you throw 1k a pop. hmm! Let me think do I want to throw money at a bad guy or just shoot him.

I am close to novice commando. I have about 20k in combat XP and all other requiremenst meet. Since I have been hearing that grenades on lairs is a good way to make some extra combat xp I bought some grenades from the bazaar.I don't remember what kind of grenades they were but they looked almost like a wire mesh trap. I left town (theed) and lined up on nightspider lair and tossed in a grenade. I tossed it by going into my inventory and moving the 5 grenades on to my F9 slot on my action bar. My action message said throw grenade. Now when I threw the grenades it said -9 above the lair and that is it. I thought they grenades were supposed to explode. Did I get lame grenades? or did I use them incorrectly? I never saw an explosion. I did notice my 5 grenades on the ground where the lair was but I was unable to pick them up. My second question is since I don't have novice commando yet what would be the best grenades for me to use to get the most combat xp?


Thanks in advance

But with the grenades you drop whole packs of imperials like flies.


Grenades baby. about 20k per crate from a master weaponsmith.


I have about 6 crates on me atm. Very very usefull things. I can get combat xp faster than I can get heavy weapons xp....

I've done over 1000 dmg with some of my C12's. Unfortunately, those are the only types I can use. I'd like to give my C22's a run to see what they do... Of course, I'm not a Commando

You got a very good deal on those grenades if they do any good damage. What are the stats on those if you don't mind me asking? I charge 23k a crate, but that will also come with accompanying power-ups.
