Mathalor Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) Last I played the game was in Alpha, so I figured I'd check out the released version. It's pretty cool, but I'm having trouble throwing grenades over things. I had a soldier next to a farm hedge chuck a grenade over the hedge, but it landed at his feet. It didn't look like a very tall hedge. Am I doing something wrong? Edited June 6, 2014 by Mathalor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kabill Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Was it one of the big hedges that block LoS? If so, you need to be a tile away to be able to throw over them (and other 100% stopping chance props). If not, er, bad luck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legit1337 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Don't try throwing grenades over 100% blocking tiles. I don't think you can for any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kabill Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 No, you definitely can. I've thrown plenty of 'nades over hedges and walls before (and I've had aliens do the same!). You just need to not be adjacent to them. (And, I guess, not be too far away from them, either). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you use them you really need to watch the flight path, because I've wiped out my own breeching team once or twice when I didn't realize my soldiers had dropped a grenade at their feet instead of throwing it inside the UFO.

legit1337 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I have never been able to throw grenades over shipping containers for sure. Have never tried on hedgerows, too scared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can confirm you can throw over hedegrows and walls. Haven't tried a shipping container though, but being able to throw over hedegrows has saved my ass a few times.

One of my favorite tactics is to send a buzzard guy airborne to spot targets on the far side of hedgerows. Then other troops, positioned 2-3 spaces back from the hedgerow, toss some love to the ETs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only recently realized how useful Buzzard troopers are, especially now that Harridans use their jumpjets too. Had some awesome running and jumping rooftop battles last game. Even in open fields its just Pop one up, see what they see, apply four heavy weapons, rinse and repeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
