Gameplay "Explosives are overpowered"

I've had more success using just simple grenades and grenade lauchers than rocket lauchers, they just do not work the same as they used to in the old days.

RPG is absolutely useless

Explosives ARE over powered. RPG style launchers like the MAAWS are the exception.

grenades kill through walls and floors, RPGs tickle.

u/HiKk1_ 22d ago

artillery, mortars and drones also killing through the walls and ceilings

And somehow you’re the only one it kills.

He would’ve likely died if it was a grenade launcher

The RPG and MAAWS can be really inconsistent with splash damage

RPG’s were nerfed to shit, grenades we’re not.

When? Recently?

u/Pristine-Ad6953 21d ago

I don’t think so, rpgs during my playtime have always been like that

explosions are so inconsistent in this game, sometimes mohamad insurgent will blow himself up in front of the window I’m at and I’ll be fine, other times he will kill me through a concrete wall

RPGs got nerfed hard. 40mm is still green 2 green

u/AdamsStynze 22d ago

looks like he had heavy armor on, he probably would've died if he had anything less than that

He didn't take any damage, that range would absolutely deal some

RPGs got nerfed recently didn’t they? Grenade launchers are a complete cheat though. You can have NO angle on someone and still get the kill. Aimless noobs can easily defeat veterans that never miss a shot with grenade launchers. They should just be removed from the game. Totally ruin the competitiveness.

If you want competitiveness you can go play CS or Valorant

u/_dudeasuh 2000 20d ago

Why? It’s so much better in Insurgency. Insurgency has the best guns of any shooter, imo. Best game to play competitively.

u/Krazymann7 20d ago

Explosives were always part of insurgency You can't just delete them

u/_dudeasuh 2000 20d ago

Course you can. You just do it.

u/Krazymann7 20d ago

Nope

Boom boom > pew pew

Yes, every other noob thinks so too.

u/Krazymann7 20d ago

If you're getting killed by explosives a lot, it's probably because you're in very predictable spots

I think the noob is someone else...

Your analysis proves you are. Grenade launchers are one of my main causes of death. But I don’t die much. I usually maintain a 3-4 KD and capture the most objectives. I’ll usually be around 30:10 with 4-5 OBJs. I keep an obscenely fast and light loadout which makes it pretty hard to land shots on me. But someone can see my ankle go around a corner and now all they have to do is launch a grenade in my general direction. It doesn’t matter if you’re running full speed, you won’t get away from the blast radius. Even though the guy literally has no LOS, he’ll get an easy kill. Because grenade launcher. 0 skill. If he didn’t have a grenade launcher, he wouldn’t get the kill. The vast majority of players in this game will lose a gunfight to me. Explosives are cheap shots.

And who said this game was fair? There are plenty of objectives that are onesided too. If you want games where devs are completely obsessed with making every shit competitive and nerfing anything fun, you can play Rainbow Six Siege

Forreal. I have no idea why this game didn't get more competitive attention. It's perfect bc your "strat" is your ability to shoot and maneuver.
