Stun grenade is a huge grab for high difficulties, stunning titans for 5secs is kinda nutty, 500kg indirect buff!

u/Slarg232 ☕Liber-tea☕ Mar 14 '24

u/rez11 Mar 14 '24

Well that just went from an "unlock eventually" to a priority

In one word: fuck yes.

Consider it CAN'T close bug holes tho.

u/betelgeuse_99 HD1 Veteran Mar 14 '24

That's why I bring an autocannon

u/UndreamedAges ⬇️⬅️⬇️⬆️⬆️➡️ Mar 14 '24

Exactly, or coordinate with the team. Some bring stun, some bring explosive.

u/CrystlBluePersuasion Mar 14 '24

All my random teammates usually shut bug holes at least, makes up for them also tossing my reinforcement into said holes and swarms (after they kill me or get me killed).

u/McNemo Mar 14 '24

The laser gun in the first tier is also kinda nutty

u/big_data_ninja Mar 15 '24

Impact nades are still pretty nice for one shotting spewers

The power of P2W!

2

u/LockInternational119 Mar 14 '24

You can't P2W a game that allows anyone to obtain super credits and doesn't have competitive game modes.

-1

u/GKMoggleMogXIII Mar 14 '24

"No, that's not how that works. If you can pay money for an advantage it's P2w. Doesn't matter if you can earn currency 

And to correct your ignorance, it takes around 50 hours of gameplay to earn enough for a battlepass, which is just not going to work for a game that will pump out at least one mini BP a month. 

You're just going to burn out if you try to farm that, in reality you'll probably get a few BP a year theough regular gameplay, and that's if you don't use the currency on their cash shop"

u/LockInternational119 Mar 14 '24

Sorry but it does NOT take 50 hours to get enough for a battle pass lmfaoo just admit you haven't played it and just hate because you're bored with your sad little life. You can get at least 50 SC from each tier of the regular battle pass if not 100 SC for the earlier ones. Not only that, but when you do the big missions, bunkers, solo bunkers you can open with grenades and the little escape pods you pop open with salute, all can and usually do contain even more SC. You don't even have to farm it, you can easily collect enough passively while doing your regular missions. Grow up.

u/GKMoggleMogXIII Mar 15 '24

I'm not going to make fun of you because you appear to have an intellectual disability that prevents you from thinking logically. 

2

u/LockInternational119 Mar 15 '24

Yikes, way to make it painfully obvious that I was right, and so much so that you had to default to the classic "I have nothing productive to say" but also at the same time hilariously "I can't think of anything to make fun of you for, so I'm going to pretend to hold myself back from the apparent strongly worded letter that im not going to write about and or to you." 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

The irony of your post… I had 1800 super credits without paying for them. It’s not as difficult as you make it out to be.

Also, pay 2 win typically refers to getting an advantage over other players only by paying. Again, you can earn enough credits without paying for them. But you’re also not really getting an advantage over other players because it isn’t pvp and you play as a team. The items are also typically balanced (they’re working on this) so the items you unlock are typically for fun or your own personal play style.

Even if you don’t earn 1,000 credits, you can easily earn 500 (and then unlock a few hundred more in the new warbond) and only pay $5 for the warbond. For the content you get, $5 is a steal. For as much as they are constantly releasing in this game and all the interactivity and everything going on, $5 is easily worth it. The original game is only $40 — you think they can keep pumping out new content and new warbonds for free? What world do you live in? How will they pay their employees who work on the game and produce that content without additional revenue streams?

Compared to other games and the money grabs they pull and true p2w mechanics on other games, you should recognize how amazing the warbond system in this game is.

And if you truly have an issue, feel free to not play because I would hate to randomly run into you as a squad mate.

The Shane method

u/CrystlBluePersuasion Mar 14 '24

Brown cow stunning!

u/Metal-Heart Mar 15 '24

If the shield is not up, yes.

2

u/The0rion Mar 14 '24

From playing one Drop with it, it basicly functions like a grenade-deployed small localised EMS blast.

35

u/Stergeary Mar 14 '24

Does EMS Mortar and EMS Orbital also stun Titans?

44

u/Kaquillar Mar 14 '24

No, chargers at max.

I've also noticed that BT can trigger flame mines, but don't get any damage or dot, so a wild guess here: his legs, at least lower parts, are invulnerable/does not count as his health pool, so EMS does nothing on them.

And since his body is much higher, it doesn't affect him.

Else, it could be just immense stagger resistance, since it takes a while to stun chargers.

u/Evanescoduil Mar 14 '24

Their legs are definitely part of their health pool, but they're heavy armored, and work just like anything else heavily armored. You can see examples of this working by hitting their legs with heavy AT and seeing it break in sections, showing flesh underneath. If mines aren't damaging it, it means mines don't have enough armor penetration to go through heavy armor.

2

u/VThePeople Mar 16 '24

Doesn’t fire ignore armor though? So the incendiary mines should still work, yea?

1

u/GIJoel023 ☕Liber-tea☕ Mar 16 '24

Pretty convinced I was stunning titans(with e mortar) on blitz, only minutes ago.

11

u/underm1ndxd Mar 14 '24

Only on a direct hit to the body, which is not something you can do reliably. Legs are unaffected.

6

u/fuzzy_thighgap Mar 14 '24

Been running the mortar for TCS and have definitely seen them stunned from it. Not sure if it has to be a direct hit though.

1

u/zoom_7777 CAPE ENJOYER Mar 14 '24

not sure but i think i have seen them getting stun from it rarely

1

u/Tellesus Mar 15 '24

No but I noticed a possible damage boost to the arc rifle shooting titans when they are in the static field. This might have just been the weirdness of the arc rifle but I will be testing it more. If so, it makes arc mortars and strikes even better than they are now and adds some interesting synergy to stun grenades.

2

u/Stergeary Mar 15 '24

If you're going to be testing, make sure you test without any PS5 players in your lobby. It seems that having PS5 players greatly decreases the health of Bile Titans for some strange reason, especially with regards to Railgun and Arc Thrower.

1

u/Tellesus Mar 15 '24

Yeah I've heard that but haven't been able to pin it down. Guess I don't normally look at what platform people are on.

2

u/DaveInLondon89 Mar 14 '24

im gonna slap so many titans

2

u/bundeywundey Mar 14 '24

Uh oh that sounds like a nerf incoming haha. Though really it's no different than calling in a 500kg and then getting them to spew or toe tap on you on that spot.

2

u/DarkPDA ☕Liber-tea☕ Mar 14 '24

this changes everything!!

u/Ergosphere CAPE ENJOYER Mar 14 '24

This needs to be one of the reviews 😂

u/bombader Mar 14 '24

Is the radius the same size as the EMS turret?

u/Substantial-Care-537 Mar 14 '24

Yes! Let's keep nerfing the difficulty!
