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.

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.
-
Yea they stink.
-
I feel like it needs a larger blast radius to compensate for its handling and arc, right now I see no reason to use it over a rocket launcher since the RL handles better and does more immediate damage.

3 RepliesMy experience with power weapons in pvp so far: Sniper, Only good if you're an experienced sniper who can consistently land headshots. aka "not me" Rocket launcher, Single rocket with tracking. If your not a fan of power weapons it's great. Grab ammo to deny the enemy, shoot once, back to business as usual. Grenade launcher, Drop all your ammo into whatever corner your target ran to hide and you might get a kill. Fusion, Mid distance one shot kills, works well. Steady aim is important. Will often die to team shots if you don't precharge around corners. Shotgun, Good for ambushing stragglers who get separated from their team or defending close spaces. Linear fusion, Why? Needs a headshot for the kill. Might as well use a sniper. As for PvE, pick the one you have the most fun with.
-
That thing and the fusion are my favorite power weapons. It's good if you know how to use it
-
I agree about the grenade launcher. I've had a few goes with it so far and I'm not a fan of it yet. I much prefer the rocket launcher for PvP.
-
For what it is it feels way too weak
-
I tried it ....several times. Right on top of toons and my missle misses. Better yet, if I shoot at their feet it does nothing. My fav Power was the fusion rifle.
-
I just want my machine guns back.
-
Yeah. It's not very impressive.

Is this the first Nerf???????
-
Yeah, I'm not that big of a fan of the grenade launcher, either. I mean, it sounds satisfying when grenades are launched, but that's about it.
-
One of the stupidest weapons created. They shouldve left machine guns in the game
-
It's definitely not very good... But I think it's fun. In my mind it's not a serious weapon, but I can see myself running around with it in patrol
-
Edited by Silence: 7/23/2017 6:00:45 PMIt just needs more splash damage. And make it Impact, not bounce.

Fusion master race

I managed to get a kill with it in PvP the other day. Craziest thing I've done in the beta! Killed a guardian with a heavy weapon, this game is going to be crazy.
-
Yep its crap
-
I wholeheartedly agree
-
It sucks, that's all.
-
It's medium range crowd control. It's not meant to deal tons of damage to bosses like rocket launchers, it's meant to be fired at multiple enemies to deal rapid splash damage. Don't try to counter snipe with it and you'll be fine.
-
IDK, the gun is so inconsistent. One time I got about 3 meters from a guy rushing with a SMG but, got a direct hit and it did about 150ish damage and I died. Last night I was up on the B platform and tried to kill a guy with a sniper by the A-side power ammo. Got a direct hit off the bounce and got the kill 210ish damage. This is just confusing me...
-
NERF® N-Strike Thunderblast Launcher is OP'ed compared to this POC (piece o crap).
-
Agree. It's inconsistent. Maybe if it had more ammo and fired faster. But as it is now I'm dead before I can kill anyone with it. And that's getting direct hits!
