So, the Grenade Launcher in D2 BETA... Am I the only one that hates it?
I can not stand the thing. It is hard to figure out how to use it and even when you are right on target with it, the damage seems too low. In my opinion, the juice is not worth the squeeze.

Pve fun pvp oh god no

I love it

Only way I got a kill with the grenade launcher. I hit a guy dead on. I did it on the first day of the closed beta And gotten destroyed ever since trying 2 use that weapon. It's a pve weapon. Do not use it in pvp.
-
should be called the shart launcher.

2 RepliesEdited by Phithel: 7/25/2017 4:45:00 AMOmg you think that the granade launcher is bad what about the clasic rocket launcher, that thing is worthless now. Are we going backwards with this or what...
-
Im with you, I think it is a nerfed rocket launcher, the FUSION RIFLE deals more damage with the same ammo
-
Both the grenade launcher and rocket launcher were trash. I stuck with the Tarantula fusion rifle and the Copperhead sniper.
-
Not just you. I wrote 2 posts in feedback that got no traction. Just incredibly underwhelming.

I found it nearly the exact same as CoD war machine, it has a slight arc, so if anything is out of point blank range you need to know the arc of the shot to hit effectively. I actually like it in PvP because you get 6-8 shots (can't remember). Also found it best on warlock, keep using it in pve till you're comfortable 👍
-
It's good in PvE for clearing ads, but isn't worth the slot in PvP.
-
Yeah, I was really excited for it. The weapon design is awesome. But it's terrible in gameplay. Huge disappointment. Hopefully it'll be better after balancing for PvE (Pipe Dream?) They could totally make a grenade launched called Pipe Dream. It's exotic perk could be that it's balanced without regard to PvP.
-
Unless you hit dead on its a shitty weapon. It's damage output should be right up there with rocket launchers. Perhaps a bit less against single targets since it's not a direct fire weapon.
-
You have to spam those nades to get a kill. Pulse rifle hits harder Hell my melee hits harder
-
I finally learned to use it, but the damage and blast radius are really bad. Like, the amount of precision you have to use compared to its damage output is very low. It's so much easier to use a fusion/shotgun/sniper/rocket, and they even have more ammo reserves (except the rocket, of course).
-
Edited by Atom Alchemist: 7/23/2017 11:24:47 PMchange the stats the first perk should be the one that increases the blast radius, the second perk should be minifrags (this give it a impact fuse isntead of balance) fire it in pairs at your enemies, 2 grenade will kill a player if they are direct hits or close hits, otherwise it weakens em enough to be finished with primary fire easily. the rocket launcher is the weak power weapon, it's blast radius seems to be teh same as a grenade from teh GL, but you only get ONE rocket per heavy ammo grab.

6 RepliesIt's weak af. Fusions were a much better option, even for PvP.
-
It's absolutely terrible. Just shard it.
-
1 ReplyI thought I was the only one who felt this way about the grenade launcher. Glad to see others agree, as well.
-
Nope it's garbage
-
I did at first too but I learn to use it. Mini grenades perk makes the weapon a direct fire weapon. Meaning to kill u need one hit directly on the torso. Splash damage sucks if I have the perk on. The second ability for it to make it grenade bounce is useless. The grenade takes to long to explode that someone can just walk away from it. If it did explode the splash damage is nonexistent. They need to fix this one.
-
1 ReplyIt's junk, but at least it's sorta useful.....unlike the Submachine gun.
-
Edited by Valorous: 7/23/2017 9:50:18 PMEither attach a proximity detonation perk onto it, or make it like the Reach GL where you can control the detonation. That's the only way it'll be viable in both PvE or PvP. And up the PvP damage on it, too.
-
I like everything about it except it's damage output
-
Is easy af to use if ur use to fps games but it's trash bc it has shyt blast radius/perks etc.
-
I think it's getting a PVE damage buff so it feels a little better. It's also a travel time arc projectile weapon with a small blast radius, so it just takes some getting used to.
-
Yeah of the new weapon types I definitely prefer the SMG to the Grenade Launcher, I think I only used the thing maybe three or four times but was very underwhelmed by it each time I used it.
