I have heard a lot of talk about PV becoming a grenade and allowing you to see what’s in a certain area, this is my take from what I heard.
-
It doesn’t make sense- As we all know, you have to pick grenades up to use them, the suit itself doesn’t create grenades so why does it make PV grenades? If it’s gonna be a grenade then players should be able to pick it up like any other grenade.
-
Limited View- You won’t be able to see everything on the map. I can imagine the diameter of it being the size of the bases in Blood Gulch. Anything inside of it will be blurry as hell.
-
Teammates vision- It shouldn’t be just the person who threw it, the entire team should be able to view what’s inside.
-
Indicator- there should be some sort of indicator so people who are inside the the grenade’s area can know when it’s being used, like a tone that decreases as you leave the area and increases and you get closer to the center
I think a PV grenade isn’t a good idea because I can see more use out of the PV coming from the user as an AA. It can be balanced by shortening the range, have a way for other people to know it’s in use, making it last shorter, and making the recharge speed longer.
where the -Yoink- have u heard this -Yoink-
> where the -Yoink!- have u heard this Yoink!
Heard it a while back ago, someone mentioned it it was either on the flood (bungie.net) or it was a comment on a RTX vid, can’t remember but yea
whata fudge is a PV Grenade?

huh, well in that case i highly doubt it will become a 5th grenade cuz 343 already has 4 grenades so it will stay a AA
What? I think you misunderstood them. They were most likely talking about the Promethean Grenade, not Promethean Vision Grenade.

yea i figured but i thought i would share my thoughts to the public

no they were specifically talking about changing PV to a grenade and somehow keeping it an AA
> What? I think you misunderstood them. They were most likely talking about the Promethean Grenade, not Promethean Vision Grenade.
no PV GRENADE NOT A PROMETHEAN GRENADE he said reread his post.

and they already have a Promethean grenade not confirmed yet but it has been seen in video

Well, then, I have no idea how the hell you got that information.
maybe the pv will allow a grenade to blow up inside ur visor. I mean really u get a great view of the battle from heaven.
I would like to see a source, but the more I think about a change like this it seems it would make PV more balanced.
Say it was an object like a grenade, that the user could use once every recharge. Wherever it lands it detonates and reveals everything in a radius for several seconds. It would allow people to see through walls, but people would have to use it more strategically. You want to walk around a corner, you first have to throw down the grenade close, and once its thrown you can’t just keeping on turning it on and off.
And as a grenade like throwable object you could throw it across the map to see whats going on there. You could see far or close, but not both. You would be able to see one area for a limited time but you couldn’t constantly spam it on and off for a constant vision of your surroundings. It seems like a very reasonable way to balance PV while keeping it an armor ability.
Yeah I don’t see this happening. I’m quite sure 343i will leave PV as an armor ability. But alliteration aside I think that would be a bad idea anyway.

Well the game is going gold in, what, five weeks? It’s far too late to implement any changes like that.
PV grenade? I seriously have no clue what you’re talking about.
PV grenade would actually be fairly interesting. throw it in a direction and in a certain radius it allows you to see through an object and cloak by making up a holographic representation of an enemy player’s outline.
won’t happen though because people will complain how PV is OP on paper but I bet in the game people will see differently; especially if they use PV.
