Grenade Launchers ruin the game

Xaragoth

Get the damn things in line already.


That is all.

Wait what?

GLs suck unless you have JPs, even then GL-holders are extremely vulnerable to Fades.

GLs in Public Games are the #1 reason the game turns from fun to just "LOL TURTLE, LOL SPAM GL, LOL I CAN FINALLY HIT STUFF."


It's just annoying. The weapon is too strong since it doesn't have any major downsides to just spam at your colleagues feet and hang back a bit. Hell, I can't count how many times we managed to bomb Generator Hive with 2 GLs from a distance and destroy Skulks with just Pistols.


It's just terrible and needs something done to it. Has been terrible since Beta.

Alien comm needs to use Whips...

you may have posted this in the wrong forum section, this is the ideas and suggestions area, not the demands and ransoms sub forum.


it has like a 5 second reload, thats more than enough time to get through and kill the person, not to mention it can't really shoot up wards (effectively) so attacking from above = win.

Gorge bile bomb cant 2 hit kill JP marines and he cant fly around your marine start raining down bile bomb of death upon your ips.

Most important thing for GL is fixing animation. It's looks laged, first marine pushing the trigger and grenade fly out after while, it's look stupid.

Allow gorges to build whips, that is the only real solution, unless you just completely remove the Grenade Launcher.

LOL implying that Fades can do anything,

One heavy can take out 2-3 fades with one Mac repairing. (55 res eats 150 res, marines)

Send in one heavy to defend the JP.

Whips don't do anything, die super fast.
Fades don't do anything against JP, die much too fast and without focus literally do as much as skulks, but waste more energy trying to fly up to the JP.

Best bet against JP is Skulks, and one grenade can kill 4 skulks in one hit.

Yup.
