RulerOfNothing Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Alright, I've been playing Xenonauts for a while, and still can't get the hang of using grenades without them exploding in the faces of my soldiers. Can someone explain to me how grenades work in Xenonauts, or at least give me some pointers towards not having my soldiers get blown up when they want to throw a grenade through a door or around a crashed UFO?

Sathra Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 They don't arc that high, and you should try not to throw or shoot anything through a door (its a bit buggy). Generally, I try to make sure there are a couple of empty tiles between a soldier and any map object, as they tend to throw grenades at cover they are using.

Okim Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Yeah this differs greatly from XCOM. At first i was a bit confused by this odd behaviour, but now i just think this is more realistic than XCOM grenade lobbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plucx Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 This is an important issue IMO. I use grenades and I used to trow object a lot in X-com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshard Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 It's still a little frustrating, knowing that your men won't lob the grenade over cover directly in front of them. Or through doors. T_T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherdevil Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 yeah I think Chris and co will work on this. Make a bug report for it so that Mathew records it and can pass it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 From what I have seen it looks like the grenade works pretty much like a direct fire weapon but with an animated grenade projectile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
