for all you brave voidwalkers

How do I use any of their grenades effectively? I can't kill with any of them. Help is appreciated. Edit: pvp

  • Vortex - Area denial. Great for cutting off choke points. AI is smart so enemies (even lowly Thralls) won't stupidly run into it 99% of the time, but this means you have some time before really having to deal with whatever horde you just stonewalled. Alternatively, you could shoot through the vortex field to take out any enemies standing behind it, waiting for it to end. Also works excellently against Cabal Phalanx as the perfectly spherical field of effect reaches right around their shields. Scatter - Covers the largest amount of space of the three. Immediate reaction for those groups you need to down quickly. Personally, I consider this the least useful, but I'm sure someone else has found better use of it. Axion Bolt - Homing bolts guarantee a kill or two against lower level minions of same level as player or lower. Combined with Bloom it makes for a nice room cleaner against tightly packed groups. My favorite.

    • As others had ready said, axion bolt + bloom = PvE fun times. For PvP Id highly recommend vortex to control choke points and give yourself room to breathe. We don't have any stickies on VW but if you nail someone with vortex you'll probably pick up a kill. Vortex was much more deadly in the alpha and beta, but it got the nerf stick right up the poop shoot on day one.

        If you combine axion bolts, the void fang vestments and bloom, your set for awhile.

      • I love scatter. Clears out large clusters. Aim with the gun sight, chuck nade. Enjoy Axiom is not very good in my opinion

      • Axion Bolt and Bloom. Turn things killed with grenades into grenades themselves!

        • As others have stated, Axion bolt and Bloom does wonders in PvE. However, with The Hunger, I personally like using Axion Bolt and Embrace the Void. With max Discipline, you can essentially throw a grenade every 20-30 seconds.

        • I only use the vortex but not offensively more to cut off a choke point.

        • Pvp I would choose the scatter grenade. Always hit flags that are being caped fast it will shock them if you glyde or blink above them drop it and finish what os left. I usualy ignore the axiom nade unless it is a 3v3 or free for all

        • Combine your axiom bolt seekers and the bloom ability. It wrecks in PVE.

        • Throw scatter grenade directly at feet. The explosion radius will be small, but fatal. It's my favorite grenade on warlock.

            Make sure you hit your enemies directly with the grenade. The warlocks grenade appears to be an AoE grenade like the Titans pulse grenade, but it better excels at damage over time. Hit any, slow moving targets with any of your grenades and it will do massive damage quickly (Except for axion bolt)

          • A direct hit is key to killing with those things. Mix and match your sub-class abilities to enhance your nades. The Bloom and Annihilate ability make a big difference in grenade performance.

          • Axion bolt is my grenade of choice. It will usually kill anyone with 1/2 sheild or less. It can also lead you to somebody who you know is hiding around the corner. If you add bloom to it and voidfang vestment you can get alot of multi kills especially in controll.

          • Voidwalker's grenades are NOT combat grenades. You use them either pre-emptively, tactically, or from a safe place. They don't do enough damage to be effective in heated combat.

          • Vortex is great for any sort of denial. Same with solar. Scatter grenade is OK too it can almost kill. Axiom bolt never kills anyone for me. :/

          • I generally use them as mop up instead of offensively. Lower the targets health with my other abilities first, then throw the grenade to finish them off while I reload. (This works best when using axion bolt imo).

          • I use axion bolt. Pair voidwalker with voidfang vestments and it gets an additional bolt. Works okay. I don't like the vortex or scatter granade. Not sure why.

          • If you use vortex grenades you have to use vortex mastery as well. They got nerfed hard after the beta. I never use scatter grenades. Axion bolt is okay you just can't use it like you would any other grenade. It's good for taking people out with low health who are behind cover. It is really slow and weak so not good for anything else. Only use it if they have low health. For PvE it is much better.

          • Vortex - use it the most. Great for objective offense/denial. Scatter - get them in a confined area (like a hallway) and throw when ready. Axion - just make it land close to the enemy and hope he doesn't outrun the purple ball (you can also sit down and you won't be killed by this grenade).

          • This is a cheap tactic but i use scatter grenade and when enemy guardians walk through a hallway i throw the grenade and it kills them most of the time.
