I took the GL into a bot drop because somebody else brought the AMR which is my preferred anti-bot weapon and it was pretty fun. Lobbing grenades into clumps of berserkers was very satisfying.
The GL has a minimum arming distance of about 10 meters. So if you shoot at something within that range, it will not detonate and just bounce off. This is also why killing yourself with the GL is relatively rare.
This doesn't ring entirely true. I've played with the GL loads, and it's almost as suicidal at close range as using the explosive crossbow; grenades that bounce off enemies have a strong chance of bouncing straight back towards the player and killing you; so maybe they're also timed? It's common to kill yourself when you misselect primary weapons in the heat of battle or forget what you have in hand and are desperate to shoot something at closing enemies. Despite this drawback, it's still excellent for clearing many enemies at mid-long range.
mechs are already fun but i feel like they should make it so light enemies (scavs, hunters, mini hunters, etc.) dont do any damage to them and only the medium and above enemies can.
That’s crazy, at the 24min mark you were killed from full health by a 500 but the building AND a Hunter, that was between you and the explosion, survived. Makes no sense.
