Short grenade fuses?

[clappi77]

Has anyone else seen people throwing grenades that exploded a LOT quicker than the standard 4 second rule? I was in a scrum with another guy and he threw a grenade at my feet from 5 feet away that exploded at my feet upon contact... or so it seemed. I'm pretty sure he got the credit for the kill and he didn't do it by shooting me since all he had out were his grenades. Does anyone know if it's possible to modify the fuse for your grenades? Has anyone else experienced this at all?

You sure it wasn't someone elses nade?

No, I can't be sure it wasn't someone else's. I was pretty sure it was his grenade that killed me because I thought he got the kill, but I'm not 100 percent. I wanted to see if others had experienced similar situations so that perhaps it wasn't just me. Oh well, it probably is.

I have never had this happen.
I have however seen the grenade animation screw up on many occasions. Weird things happen like people throw grenades without their arm moving. Maybe he threw it earlier but the animation showed him throwing it a few seconds later?
I dunno, just a guess...

Right click.

Right click.

That just lets you vary the throw distance, but it still has a ~4sec fuse.

No. Try it out. I always have to high tail it out of there when I right click. Someone want to test it? I'm at work.

Hmm really? You've got me curious now, I'm gonna go try it.

Correct

Re: Short grenade fuses?

Incorrect. Right click doesn't alter fuse.

Re: Short grenade fuses?

Yeah it definately does, whenever I do grenade traps on people following I always right click and haul ass out.

Re: Short grenade fuses?

Ok I tried it and right clicking does not alter the fuse time. It is about 3 seconds either way.
Thousand-and-one, thousand-and-two, thousand-and-BOOM!

You have to 'haul ass out' probably because you've dropped it at your feet as opposed to chucking it. :p

I'm really sure right click changes distance thrown and not fuse. I'm open to proof to the contrary however. :)

Thread starter: Maybe he threw 2 nades, u missed the first, and as the second hit the ground the first one exploded?

when you right click, you have pulled the pin. if you hold the right mouse button in the timer starts ticking, hold too long and blow yourself up.
