Comparing it to the other grenades, it isn’t as good.
The frag has a bigger blast radius than the plasma and it bounces which extends the range, but the plasma has the ability to kill with only one grenade.
The pulse has neither. And it’s so easy to just walk around them. They’re just a minor inconvenience if anything.
AND… you only get one. Not two like the other much better grenades, just one.
I’ve always felt like it should be the other way around. 1 frag, 1 plasma, or 2 pulses.

I only started using it in BTIS two weeks ago.I have 187 kills so far with it,including some nice triple kill Hog destroyed, and a few foot solider double kills.I have even had a first strike with it on Vortex LMAO> It works well; even better if you have Grenadier loaded so you can carry two and Explosives to make it cause more damage!

See, I thought Explosives only extends the radius, and even if that’s true I don’t think it even works for pulse grenades.

It should be somewhat useful even without perks. Currently, it’s much easier to use the other grenades–exactly why no one bothers with it. I actually enjoy the idea of having “1 frag, 1 plasma, or 2 pulse”. It also lessens the effect of the Plasma Pistol + Plasma Grenade combo in BTB.
It works for the Pulse Grenade as well. There are youtube videos showing the damage increase explosives gives.
It’s like the Firebomb grenade in Halo 3, except that one actually killed people.

You just cant use them like you can the others.Its all in the timing and more precise aim.Definately should get more than 1. 3 would do for me :>]
I just use them to stop campers from camping for a few seconds. You can’t sit in a microwave forever, unless they are overshielded.

True, but this one can turn you into cornflakes.
Look, it says in the game that Explosives "alters grenade performance, <mark>increasing the blast radius</mark> and decreasing grenade damage received.
So looking at that, one would assume that it makes the pulse grenade’s radius a little wider, but I don’t think it does.

The Firebomb grenade turned you into BBQ. I’d choose BBQ over cornflakes any day.
It’s very useful if you know how to use it.
I actually find it easy to get kills with them. Once I master my frags which is around 200 off I’ll end up switching to pulse.
It’s all about positioning rather then just aiming at the enemy plus its quite fun to actually throw one at your feet and thruster backwards leaving the melee frenzy players inside a shield/movement sapping grenade ready to get picked off in one headshot.
Great objective grenade. People who make these posts have no idea how to use it/throw it.

Would you mind explaining how you use it? I’m being serious, I have no clue how to use these things.

Don’t use the perks myself as I prefer Mobility.
Having one of each would be nice.
I believe it used to be good before they released the game. I remember them showing it emp vehicles that drove through it and it could kill a scorpion with one grenade(not from hijacking). It also killed with the first explosion, could kill a fully shielded person while it was floating and not blowing up, and kill with the final explosion.
they nerfed it to oblivion.
Pulse grenades are great, it’s just that instead of throwing it first then shooting, you have to damage the person to like 1 quarter shields, then throw it at them. Then they just die on impact when the grenade expands open.
How can you think that a grenade that automatically takes away some bodies shield to be useless. I agree to finish somebody off, you have to have some degree of skill, but the amount of kills I’ve had to leave my opponent being a one shot, then to go ahead and finish the kill with my BR or what ever weapon I’m using is quite staggering. I actually find the Pulse grenade one of the most satisfactory grenades.

With one on one combat… you can either play it two ways. The harder way, but to get the commendation. Take a few shots then finish with the grenade, but with this, you need to get their shield nearly off to be effective.
Or
The easier option. Throw grenade, take the shields down, just like you would with the plasma pistol. Then finish them with (most effective) a precision shot or a burst from an automatic.
