The Grenade Launcher is useless without the impact. Opinions?
Can we talk about the Grenade Launcher

Totally agree. As predator I never minded the gernade launcher. I think with the damage nerf at launch it was great

Im maxing out all guns and this weapon is close to impossible.

Take it into a solo private match and level it there.

And on a similar note, I REALLY want the plasma caster nerf reversed. Completely unnecessary. Or keep the nerf but make dithered lense the base laser visibility.

It’s the worst gun in the game currently, imo.

It’s effective against large groups of hostile soldiers, not so munch vs the Predator.
I’m at lvl10 with it but removing Point Detonated rounds was too much. The blast radius, direct impact damage, splash damage and visual effects were all nerfed from trial.
I try to force myself to use it and find value in using it.
Either the Point Detonation needs a return, or the timed fuse needs less delay before detonating and/or more blast damage and some of the visual effects from trial should return.
Right now, it’s faster to kill a Predator with nearly every other weapon in the game over the Grenade Launcher.

I am still stuck on level 3 and i don’t intend on leveling it up any time soon.
It’s by far the worst weapon in the game. From the bouncy tennis balls it shits out to the atrociously long reloads and its overall poor damage output.
Either give us back the impact grenades or give us some utility like proximity or remote detonated nades.

I miss the Plasma Caster when it would down you with a full blast to the face. Made the match exciting. Now I stand tall and eat plasma caster shots.
the nerf came as a result of FT members complaining about people full charge peaking around corners and downing them with it.
Granted this was a valid complaint. I do believe the nerf is just a placeholder for now until they come up with a better way to discourage people from doing that. but not sure how they would prevent it.
But…you have to do that because the laser gives you away. I mean if you got downed by a predator doing that you deserve it IMO. Between how much it gave away your position and how hard it was to land a direct hit on bunny hopping speed demons, it just seemed like a nerf catering to a bunch of babies.
I don’t disagree but the nerf was justified at the time. and when you say you deserved to get hit by it? How so?
The pred literally peaked around a corner, knew were you were, fully charged shot and downed atleast 1 person. There was a good chance they didn’t even know were the pred was but knew he was somewere near. The issue was plain. there was no counter play and you could take out the entire fireteam doing it.
and by peaking I mean for example walking up to a wall. since your in third person you can see into the building and can see them inside. you start the charge peak through the door just as it finishes and blast one person. Insta down and no way to counter it or prevent it.
They couldn’t see the laser cause the laser was blocked by the wall you peaked from.
It wasn’t fair.
Also you don’t actually HAVE to do that. you can time your shots so the fireteam is looking away. you can take the perk that reduces the visibility of the laser. There are a lot more things you can do.
Previously it was super easy to notice when and were the pred was. they changed that and now it was a lot harder then it was (it still is pretty easy though. just not as easy).
Since there was so many other changes that happened after the nerf to the caster I believe having it be a instant down should be allowed again. the FT can’t hop endlessly anymore, the pred has to be much closer before they hear the audio cues. ect.
Or atleast make it so if you take the perk down range its an instant down.
I mean it keeps you on your toes. Stay covered when he blast…a full blast overloads but downs on headshot. I mean i do play with a great squad so i could understand the curve.
Honestly, I feel like as it is now, it should be a secondary.
IF it gets impacts back, then maybe it remains a primary. But right now its a very shitty utility weapon that does not deserve the primary slot it takes.

mine were maxed in 2 months… just cause you hit 10 deosnt mean they are maxed. Some weapons go all the way to white leve l10
Is it even worth maxing out? I mean the other scopes won’t make it any easier to aim the grenades

So much power to destroy multiple enemies yet it is only aimable through guess work in a 3D world that is not entirely photo realistic. And does no damage to tree trunks - meaning they should do something of course like burn it…or stun a predator on it.
We possibly should have different types of grenades…explosive to explode…incinerary to cause fire- smoke to explode quick plumes rather than the one we have now.
Not to mention a triage of stun grenades launchable.
Pretty much. I just use it as a signal flare to give our position away to the Predator so we can get the party started.
It’s still absolute shit and a waste of a weapon slot. Why is it even a primary weapon?!
I wouldn’t equip this shit if it were in the secondary weapon slot let alone now.
Its one of those weapons to feel cool…NOT!
