Shorten Grenade Fuse

Grenades are sort of bad because of issues with slabs.
That will be fixed though.
The fuse isn't bad, though.
The point of a grenade is to apply pressure to the enemy to push them back, maybe getting kills.
If we implented prepping grenades, then they would be more useful.

 

This.
That grenades do apply pressure to the enemy's making it a very useful tactical use, however the fuse could probably be lowered or something like that.

 

As said above by Majora, there is a bug with grenades. They explode on half slabs, but do no actual damage. This only applies to blocks that are half way between, and will be fixed with the update. Hopefully.

 

I thought grenades were supposed to be a lethal based explosive. Maybe move it over to the tactical section instead so that people will understand it's for tactical purposes, not for reaming in kills.

 

I also feel like this would generate a ton of flak for people camping in infect. If it's a well-aimed throw, there's usually barely enough time to get away from it, and a lower fuse time might just make people angry. Although on the other end, it would balance out the difference in power between the two sides. Zombies would have a more effective weapon on their hands...

 

But they already have C4. I wouldn't want the grenade to be over buffed.

 

Grenades have a much better range than c4, and you don't have to donate for them. But that is fair, and one person with c4 can sometimes be more than enough.

 

I think that the best way to handle this is to make a grenade that can explode on impact but does either: less damage/smaller explosion radius, that way you could force players back, while killing a few of them to make them run

 

Hmm, we've had the idea of being able to hold back the grenade by holding mouse2, with the consequence of it e'splodin in your face if you don't throw it soon enough. That might be a possible solution to this problem...

 

IRL the grenades take like 3 secs to explode. It would too op if it explodes after 1/1.5 second since the grenade is useful for killing a pack of enemies or using it as cover

 

Imagine the thing with molotovs in infect that fused in the air....I had like 20 kills with one molotov that I threw using the glitch in infect. So....you throw a grenade, and it explodes right in front of enemies...sounds like a nerf?

 

Lowering the fuse time of a grenade to 1 second would make them almost like throwable C4. Sure it doesn't stick to the wall or have a detonator, but it's basically works the same way. If you throw a well aimed grenade, this will make the grenade impossible to evade. A humans reaction time is only so fast, so you can't make them expload to quickly. Just seems a little to OP to me.

 

If you want to kill people with grenades, you need to throw a lot of grenades, so that there's no escape.
Shortening the fuse would make grenade spamming pretty OP.
