How much ground round would a ground dog hog if a ground dog was ground round? :stuck_out_tongue:

Seriously though, some easy ones if you’ve got the time:

For the grenade drops that SNTNL and the Clone do, do they throw them or just drop them wherever they are at the time? If they throw them, is their aim decent? I’m looking for an excuse to get away from homing-only grenades with them.

When you drop Barrier and then pick it up, do you still get (reduced) amp damage?

Does Duct Tape Mod fire the grenade longbow-style with your bullet, or does it basically just throw a grenade with its normal delivery method out the barrel of the gun?

Clone Throws for sure.

My experience is that Duct Tape hits where the bullet hits. But I’ve never fully paid attention.

Does the New Cryo Trick Of The Light do 18% bonus that card says, or 36% that we were promised?

What is our Cryo Efficiency with Bonus Cryo?

Sort of off topic… are there new anointments with this update? I’m finding some wonderful shields and grenades that 'on action skill end, do 50% bonus elemental damage. I just got a shield with bonus cryo damage that I’ll be giving to Zane. More damage while airborne? More damage while sliding? Some of these are fantastic!

Does Double Barrel Clone get Anointment buffs?

Will 50% Bonus Cryo Sntl apply to clone?

Do you happen to have the numbers on how well Violet Momentum stacks with Violent Speed and Supersonic Man? Are they both worth spending your skill points on now?

TIA!

Nagata would be a fun Grenade if they can reliably hit the target.

Nagata longbow hits perfectly :slight_smile: Just gotta aim that sucker. It’s one of my favorite nades so I have some experience with it. I just love how it sounds when it connects, epic.

I’m talking about the drone or the clone, do those hit when the nagata is thrown.

#11

drone drops it and clone launches it they do not aim it. as to duct tape i have no answer for it.

#12

Ah I see, naw I don’t think they do any kind of aiming really just shoot that ■■■■ straight forward.

#13

Got it, thanks. I may give my SNTNL some large AoE grenades and see if they connect well enough from overhead drops; my Clone will stick with homing grenades. I mean, he’s got a Mirv-Tacular Cryo Hex, so I’m not strapped for a good one, but still - I like to mix it up sometimes.

#14

Hex is best either way since it is homing. Outside of hex tesla or torgue mirvs but i do not see much worth in non hex nades on sntnl best used is atlas transfusion in radiation

From regular gear also atlas that rolls with devider or mirv and second and third rolls are transfusion and generator. Dodgy but serviceable utility.

#15

Both throw them at enemies from what I can tell.

Whispering Ice is hilarious with Clone and Drone both doing them :joy:

#17

So there’s a new grenade anointment - On Grenade Thrown, weapon, grenade, and action skill damage are increased by 25%. I’m curious whether they made Duct Tape Mod or any of Zane’s grenade-throwing skills work with it or if you have to throw them yourself.

I haven’t brought Zane to the test dummy yet, but I’m not sure it’ll work for that test? The dummy didn’t, for example, work as a target for the shock orbs from the Storm (they sat there over the target, but didn’t zap it). I don’t think Zane’s crew will focus on it either. Time to check!

edit - checked it out with FL4K; he can’t point an attack command at it.
