Dud grenades?

MrTomRobs · 2013-04-28, 13:29

Morning/afternoon/evening all!

This phenomenon has happened to me a couple of times recently, mostly on the PRTA server, but also on NwA once or twice too. In essence, i throw a hand grenade see it leave my hand, watch it bounce on the floor, and that's it. No bang, nothing. Apart from me getting shot up again. Even if i survive the first encounter and throw a second grenade, that will simply dud up as well.

Has anyone else had this happen to them?

happened to me a lot of times, as well as with incendiaries

Yes lots of times with the AK47 kit on Al Basrah, when I got killed and respawned again and it was fixed again. Weird.

Did you die while/right after throwing them. I've noticed that but it only happens while/right after you throw the grenade and get killed.

No I died minutes later by a tank shell to the face.

i've seen this happen too. What I might think it is is that it's not really a dud, but there is just no explosion effect. I think it does inflict damage but that no effect is made or a sound. This happens too sometimes to tankshells and such.

this happens me a lot when playing as militia faction in Ochamchira skirmish, the granade does not explode nor does any damage, I threw a bad grenade that fell into my feet and I didnt die and it didnt explode. or maybe I forgot to take out the pin

I think this involves the interaction of the grenade and the terrain. Some map areas seem to eat grenades/kits.

This happened to me a couple of times as well on different maps and servers.

So... are dud grenades a bug or a feature?

This happend to me too. But recently I found this "feature" or bug happens way more. Had this happen on Asad where my and the nades of a mate didn't explode when we throw them into one of the 2 story buildings. This bug also is common on the buildings in silent eagle.
