Promethian grenade deaths!

So am i the only one who continues to die from the little pieces of the Promethian grenades that are left over after they explode? It seems to happen more than it should and its getting old. It’s really frustrating when it’s your own grenade and you walk into it and then you die. This probably makes me sound like a noob but I just think that the grenade is already powerful enough and that those pieces should be removed or nerfed to where it’s not an instant kill. Just take your shield down maybe. I’m just wondering if anyone else has the same problem or if I’m the only noob who has this issue.

On the other hand, when I throw one the other guy often gets away with just stripped shields. :\

It’s kinda the whole point of the grenade. It adds a whole new dimension that allows for trap setting and denying enemies a certain area.

These grenades are so much better than the pulse grenade from Halo 4. Please learn how and when to use it before asking to nerf things.

You have to hit the enemy full on. If you directly impact an enemy with the grenade then they’re dead for sure. If you just throw one and an enemy runs through it they likely will just lose shields unless they already had damage or ran directly through the center.

I love them for area denial :wink: throwing one in a door or hallway gives precious time in certain situations

Sounds like user error.

Yeah, you just sound like you’re not paying attention. Sorry man.

I’m happy I got the Promethian Grenade Spartan Upgrade REQ, but I feel like a noob when I use them, the are literary free kills :stuck_out_tongue:

Sounds like you need to watch where you step

Probably the whole point is that the small explosives charges create a temporary barrier. It can be used to stop enemy entering or following you.
Their explosives range is smaller than the other but that the trade off for lasting on the field.

They are my grenade of choice followed by good old sticky plasma grenades !

How do you manage to walk into your own grenade, let alone more than once?

Yes, yes it does make you sound like a bad player. You need to pay attention to your surroundings and not blame the game for your deaths when they can [with relative ease] be avoided.

This is not an issue. Do not blindly charge in to areas. Be aware of where you throw your own grenades. Do not try to run through the splintered barrier.

It’s easy to walk into your own splinter grenades , it take real skill to shot yourself in the Battle Rifle ( only did it once ) :stuck_out_tongue:

Ok so the one of the biggest complaints in halo 5 is the pistol and how OP it is and how it should be nerfed. So you’re telling me that all these people that complain about the pistol should learn to use it before they can ask for it to be nerfed as well? i just figure I would make a stupid complaint about this game like the rest of the community does.

I wrote this forum to make fun of all those who complain about stupid stuff like nerfing weapons. Yes I have walked into my own nades and was pissed about it. That doesn’t mean the game needs to be changed, I just need to get better. This game is very balanced in my opinion. Everyone starts with the same weapons so it’s really all about player skill that determines how well you do unlike halo 4. It’s not the games fault that you suck. I’m not the best halo player but I’m not the worst either. When I do something in this game that is stupid like walking into my own names, I take ownership for it. Same goes for when I have a BR and get outgunned my a pistol. It’s my fault that I suck and I need to get better with the weapons that have been provided. I don’t think the splinter grenades need to be nerfed at all. In fact I like the new dynamic they bring to the game. I just wish this community would stop complaining about everything and worry about trying to improve their own skill.
