I really, REALLY want to like the Pulse Grenade. It looks and sounds so cool. But it never seems to do anything to my enemies, and to make matters worse, you only start with one (???). Maybe some of you guys know how to use it better. I’d appreciate the advice.
If you want to carry more, use the grenadier(?) it gives you one more, as you may already know.
Fastest way to kill someone is throwing it at their feet and then headshot.
Or if the enemy has shields down it will kill them when you throw it at their feet.
I don’t really understand why you spawn with only one pulse.
chuck it like a plasma but at the opponents feet. finish off with your primary.
or do it vice versa and weaken with primary then finish off with pulse.
you can use it to escape opponents or give breathing space by blocking routes.
you can easily suicide pulse nade when up s@#t creek by s#@ting one out when no shields when about to be meeled.
You’ve got two good suggestions here. I suggest, if you are going for kills the with PG, then learn where they spawn on the maps. With the addition of Grenadier you will not only spawn with two but be able to pick up a third.
The best playlist I found to help finish this off was Rumble Pit. There will always be groups already fighting that you will encounter. Chuck a few amongst them and kills a plenty.
Good luck! Don’t give up!
Take down their shields with the plasma pistol and then throw a pulse grenade at their feet, it’s also good for when you know when there’s an enemy hiding behind a wall/corner and their weak, just throw one in their general direction. Also you should use the explosives tactical package/support upgrade (I forget which one it is) it makes the radius of the pulse grenade bigger. Also, remember: the closer the enemy is to the center of the pulse grenade’s initial detonation, the more damage it will do.
Use Grenadier and Explosives, they are pretty much necessary with Pulse nades.
Then try to lead your opponent and land it so it detonates as close to their feet as possible. If they are full shields you will drain them for an instant headshot, if they have low shields you will kill them.
Best used in close quarters. And they can save your life better than almost any other type of nade very dangerous situations (such as when an enemy is about to round a corner on you when you’re 1 shot, as it’s instant detonation can turn the fight in your favour)
A good way to use it is to throw it at doorways, especially when you’re chasing someone down or the other way around.
If equip it, or happen to fine one in a game I use them to more or less to deter someone from chasing me. If someone is on my tail, I’ll throw it a little a head of where I’m going and by the time I pass it it goes off.
Most people will stop and pull back once it goes off.
Hello chronicler 177. You want to know how to use it? Then you should ask me, the pulse grenade expert. I hold the record for pulse grenade kills according to halo tracker. I suggest you invite me to a custom game for lessons.
However a few tricks: mêlée an enemy, back up and throw your pulse grenade. Depending on where you threw it, you might live and the enemy die with no chance to shoot you.
Others, around corners when enemies come, beware or their grenades but if they come, pulse grenade and headshot.
Some enemies underestimate it, specially those who hide it seems, so sometimes they’ll stand there and think it won’t kill them then bam!
It’s precise and rapid grenade for it’s first explosion. You can briefly walk through it to finish a kill in it’s ionization phase but know the timer and don’t be there when it implodes.
Just think of it as a ranged melee attack. Give them two shots of your BR and then nail them with it, it’ll finish them off instantly.
