i mean i guess i will just post this here too
iliekdat posted...i started using them as a joke and ended up finding out how good they actually are. they are a lot more useful than plasmas unless you're playing big team. frags are still probably the all around best
the pulse grenades are actually just a plasma pistol charge you don't need to charge, given you can actually throw them correctly. that initial blast is where it's at; everything else about them is just extra. it makes getting automatic kills a breeze since they generally rely on you getting the first shot or hoping whoever you are shooting doesn't have full shields
if you have ridiculous timing, you can throw a pulse right as you die and it should just land on your body since your guy will drop it. i have traded with manyyy sword/shotgun/melee guys i had no business killing doing it
they are awful if you use them like a frag or plasma, but if you use them as their own thing you will realize they have many more applications in situations. i mastered them before mastering the plasmas but thats probably because i dont play big team that often. just remember that if they don't have shields, it's a kill and if they do have shields, they are put to 1shot or at like 1/4 of shield which is like 2 shots to clean up anyways
