I don’t think this grenade will be too popular. When inside the radius you barely take any damage, and the odds of being inside the radius are slim. From all the gameplay I’ve seen, it doesn’t seem effective. Also the explosion animation looks bad.
Just doesn’t seem powerful enough, I hope I’m wrong. Thoughts?
It seems to be more of a defensive grenade. Putting it down in a corridor will ward enemies away for a solid 2 seconds. IMO I like seeing a new grenade taking a more defensive approach.
It seems like it might be like an energy drainer. Just not as potent.
It suppose to be good at taking down vechicles like the scorpion.
Well, 343 said in one of the Live streams that if it hits a tank directly, when it explodes, than it will completely destroy the tank. This probably applies to all entities who take the full blunt of the blast and draining effect.
I could see this use for flag defence however.
Dominion and Extraction will use it more than Slayer or regular Objective.
It could be great in objective games it could also be good to block the path of vehicles or to hit them as they drive by.
The top of an air/grav lift seems like a good place to put it too. Soften up someone as they fly out and finish them off with other weapons.
I do agree that it may be hard to get kills with it. We’ll see. I definitely want to try to get a kill with everything at least once though.

this ^ im glad someone else knows what they are used for
It’s main purpose is to deny or delay movement.
