Is it just me or Nothing Manacles' tracking often doesn't work in PvP?

I use Nothing Manacles in PvE all the time, tracking works without problems. But in PvP often it doesn't seem to work for me. I throw a Scatter next to a player and the projectiles don't seem to track him. When I throw a Scatter next to an enemy in PvE, same distance to the enemy, the projectiles go crazy and fly towards it. Edit: I'm not talking about bouncing Scatters, that's not an issue I have.

  • Bungie nerf it so bad, they broke it. Sometimes the grenades don't detonate.

  • I use em on my voidwalker but am looking to switch to skip grenades with the other exotic arms. The scatter nades are too inconsistent. Nothing beats a Nova bomb multi kill though. I love wiping full Fireteams at their heavy spawn.

  • Only a few of them track anymore: there was an adjustment made months back, during the Taken King I believe. Possibly before the April update. I think they also reduced the damage as well so they were essentially a poor grenade with poor tracking. Nothing Manacles only really give you a second Scatter grenade, which isn't as useful in PVP as I would like. Basically, NM only make Scatter Grenades "less worse". Aside poor grammar, it's a more accurate description compared to "slightly better".

  • There is a known issue with memory of fellwinter disabling tracking on scatter nades. Maybe other atrifacts have that problem too.

    • Yeah, get used to it, Voidwalker. Get used to the Scatter Wiggle. Thats when it bounces up without expanding.

      • Yep. I run them all the time in PvP and they work about 70% of the time for me.

      • I've had a couple of bounces but over all they work fantastic for me. I wouldn't use anything else in pvp as void

      • Nope, it's not just you. I traded in my nothing manacles for ophidians. The fúcken grenades bounce once or twice before detonating, and by the time they do detonate the tracking is half assed. I've slammed a scatter nade into a fools chest and it not come close to killing him with so called "tracking." Meanwhilst getting one-timed by cross map skip grenades

      • If they even made the tracking even half as good as skip grenades we might have a half decent exotic there

      • Yeah I've noticed I have to throw them right at an enemy player's face for the projectiles to even consider tracking him.

      • Yep mine were bouncing around in Ib last week like critters on steroids without actually going anywhere sometimes or more frequently damaging myself rather than the opposition.

        Yeah. I've noticed this too. What really bugs me though is when you throw a scatter and the bloody thing bounces clear across the map before shattering. PvP or PvE. It doesn't matter.
