40mm grenade spam

Re: 40mm grenade spam

I have a few ideas to alter the 40mm grenade that would make the 40mm shotgun a real alternative, not just a novelty.

The big one is removing the OSK from a direct impact inside the arming distance. That's the whole reason shotgun rounds were invented in the first place. People weren't dying right away when they got hit by duds.

Direct impact should do a lot of damage, sure. But if it quit being a one shot kill, there would be a reason to use the shotgun attachment and noob toobers would have to think about using that thing in close range. After someone kept hitting people from 5 feet away only to be mowed down by bullets from someone with 5-10% health remaining, he'd think twice before using the 40mm grenade as a primary weapon and maybe start using it the way it was intended.

That would be such a small change that I think would have a big impact.

I don't really see why, speaking from a balance perspective. The GL and certain other weapons are specialized tools that you should pull out when the need arises, not something you run around with constantly.

So I say a dud should do max 50% damage.

I was just trying to be nice to toobers, who are obviously the majority based on the weapons used. 50% is still a lot of damage, I think. And it would still be a tiny change with a HUGE impact.

Re: 40mm grenade spam

The 40mm GL was the first platinum i got, now i have it the GL is a secondary weapon rather than a primary weapon, I am going down the list with all platinum stars, i have 13 already, so when the time come to do the Carl Gustov, will be the time to call me a noob lol. The weapons we are discussing have probably been used at one time or another by all within this thread, I dont like being killed by them all the time but if your willing to use them then you should be willing to die by them.

Fight fire with fire I say.

I thought the tube had a minimun range as I have fired it close to me and it just bounced. The Gustav is worse as there is no min. arming range and with friendly fire off no risk.

Killing someone with a dud/not armed n00b is great fun :)
