I use C12s and wear Ubese armor. It's not the grenades that kill the armor, it's all the beasties beating on it while I'm throwing those slow things.

I equip a Fencer weapon and use CoB while I'm throwing to minimize hits and therefore armor decay. CoB lasts about the same time as throwing 4 C12s, so I Cob, throw 4 C12s, CoB, throw 4 C12s, etc.

My armor lasts quite awhile doing it like this.

Sorry but, what is CoB?

Center of Being. Increases defenses.

Thanks! I just got back to playing again so forgot alot. I'm getting 4-0-0-0 in commando tonite so I can get the thermal grenades. I'm surprised you guys can even use the c12 nades. I tryed them (pretty good stats too!) and the quenker mission I took on was impossible, I had to switch to just beating on it to blow it up. Is there any other type of creatures I should be killing instead for the Combat XP grind?

Well, I don't kill everything with the C12s (I use Max Damage Powerups to give me 2XX-1100 damage, I think). I'm fighting Giant Baz Nitches currently. I tap the lair, then Feign Death. This does two things. First it keeps the original 5 from beating on me while I wait for the other 5 to spawn from the lair. Second, when I do stand up, Feign Death breaks the aggro limit, so ALL of the mobs, not just 5, aggro on me so I can damage all 10 of them.

I run into the lair, hit CoB, throw 4 C12s, CoB, throw 4 C12s, etc. I throw 4 full stacks (20 throws total). This is enough to mostly kill the mobs, then I step out of the lair and use the Health pool Fencer hit to kill the rest individually (instead of spin attacks hitting random pools so I maximize Combat XP by doing as little damage with my weapon as possible). Then, I start beating the lair with unarmed (saving weapon condition on my Fencer weapon), and kill the last 5 with Unarmed.

This is slower than using high-powered grenades, but C12s are cheaper, don't kill the armor, and in 2 hours I can get a little more than 100k FS XP (almost capped Combat and some One-Hand and Unarmed XP) and make the run to the Village to convert.

Since my template was set, I don't have millions of credits for high-powered grenades, and I only get about 2 hours a night, this works for me.

EDIT: Typos.
