hunters grenade is seriously under powered!
This game is the best game out on ps4 right now and I this just a demo! I love Destiny so do not take the following as a hate but a critique.
The hunter grenade is almost useless compared to warlock and Titan classes. Warlock's black hole in a pocket is guaranteed a kill either on impacted or during the after math of the explosion. Titan's EMP/ flash/ frag hybrid grenade renders the victims useless for sometime while causing extensive damage.
The Hunters fire cracker is nothing more than a distraction for people to run a way from. direct impact is the only way to get kill and the burning after damage is not enough to shake a stick at. There is something missing here and Bungie needs to think about increasing the usefulness of the hunters grenade. the hunter is a fun class but this one issue keeps me from enjoying the Crucible as a hunter so I focus much more on the other classes.
Does anyone feel this way or is it only me?

2 RepliesIt's the gift that keeps on giving.

Just because it isn't a sure kill by itself doesn't mean it's not useful.
-
hey but u have the op special range atk so shhhhh
-
I agree I feel like a stronger and wider field of impact should be applied as both the warlock "field if effect" grenade and the titan "pulse" grenade deal way more damage over time than the initial blast of the hunter's grenade

2 RepliesI main a hunter and I've always used the incendiary grenade cause it's super lethal all you need is a good throw. It does the most immediate damage from the explosion (from what I can tell) than any other grenade and the DoT is pretty effective too, think about it the warlocks grenade will only do damage while your in the void radius while the hunters grenade will continue to do damage as long as you got hit by the initial explosion. I love the IG I think you just need to get used to it. I will say however the 2nd tier hunter grenade is pretty weak despite its heat seeker shit

I've killed players with both warlock and Titan grenades but never with a hunters grenade. This speaks for it's self.

You need to adapt. I use the Seeker Grenade as both a barrier and if I'm out of ammo and I have a guy's shields down. A few seekers from the grenade will kill an enemy without shields. As for the napalm, it's Damage Over Time is the key and does fire damage for a few extra seconds. If you get a couple shots in before or after these effects, it's a sure fire kill (pun intended).

1 ReplyI don't always use hunter grenades but when I do they're placed strategically in entry/exit points, for decent damage.

Edited by Hiatus: 7/22/2014 1:52:07 AMThe trade off is also getting a throwing knife that does a full shield's worth of damage and about a quarter of health.

Titan = Flashbang. Arch damage and blinds opponent. I'm not sure what upgrade they get for it. Warlock = Gravity bomb. Creates an area of fluxing energy. Anyone in that effected area takes damage. Lasts for several seconds. Can increase the range and the duration via upgrades. Hunter = Napalm. This one I have the less experience with I figured it gave enemies DoT.. Sounds like it's just a basic frag grenade. Truthfully I've seen more of the seeker mines than the normal grenade. And yes, it's killed me.

2 RepliesSorry man hunters got great pvp power, those seeker grenades work wonders, most grenade types just lock down a position for a while. Hunters come right for you, plus have a throwing knife back up
-
Its really not its the best

Edited by nightstriderUK: 7/21/2014 9:55:45 PMI think the seeker grenade should reduce agility per orb hit by x amount for x amount of time, it would make up for its weak damage and give it a bit more use.

3 RepliesEdited by ToastWithNoCrust: 7/21/2014 5:51:02 PMWHAT! The hunters swarm is unbelievable. Keep an eye on the radar and throw it down onto the ground or any where ( it sticks anywhere ) and the enemy runs into it and you finish him off :) also if your in trouble run away and throw it down and they won't chase you. If they come close to the swarm it chases them, and it lasts long. Love that grenade! It's got me loads a kills! Also when you unlock a new sub class you get different grenades, so later on you can change it!

Hunter grenades are finisher grenades. I get the enemy's health down and when they start hidinv. I chuck it in their area(using seeker grenade) and let it finish them off.
-
I think hunters are better in other places but their grenades play a good role for their tactics . They are just stronger in other areas meanwhile warlocks grenade is strong but it's secondary ability may not be or jumping ability .
-
its more of a shield destroyer then anything witch IMO is vary good lol
-
I how I'm guessing correctly that the 'swarm' grenade are the lil red blips that home in? I watch a guy on TWITCH and I must say I've seen him kill several people with them in with ought having to shoot before or after but maybe that's just me :p.......
-
5 RepliesHave you used the Hunter's swarm grenade? It's a bunch of heat seeking mini grenades, and it destroys if aimed correctly. I've used it to get a ton of after death kills.
-
6 RepliesThe hunter grenade is not meant to be a 1hit kill, when I use it on a group I expect it to nearly kill them so I can then shoot them all a little each and get the kills. If anything the titans' EMP needs rebalancing, if I get hit by it there's nothing I can do, just hope to survive. Maybe I'm missing some tactic against them? Out of the three grenades I do find the hunters' the least useful though, but we have the [i]Golden Gun[/i] so I'm ok with that.

I threw the grenade at septiks, it somehow went into his eye causing huge amounts of damage. He started burning in his eye. By then I could tell. "That must hurt." As me and my fire team keep throwing bullets into that eye ball. I finally had enough and thrusted my throwing knife right in dat eye. Then septiks immediately exploded, causing white light blinding my vision, after that I didn't need to worry for the rest of the fallen. When their god is dead, they be running. I open my eyes to septiks parts down below. Me and my fire team jumped down there, battle worn, tired, but excited for loot. What he got was a house banner worth 200 glimmer. Tears were shed that day.

3 RepliesIts just you, the 2nd grenade type is pretty sick since it will chase your target, or go after someone who comes into its range.
-
I actually use the swarm grenade to sometimes "fish out" enemies from buildings, but mainly I use it to kill off people who run after I start shooting at them.(We all know those people)
-
The second grenade is pretty good for zone control but I have *never* killed anyone in pvp with it. I will literally land 2 headshots with my scout rifle, they'll go under cover, i'll put it at their feet, see tons of damage markers, and they'll *still. be. fine.* But it's good for keeping people the hell away from your area, and that's what it's for. I agree that they're weaker than the warlock and titan's ones though.

1 ReplyYep the grenade is terrible compared to the others
