Glitchy Grenade Launcher? | Forums

[Titanattack]

First off, this is my first time on the forums, and just wanted to clear something up...

Has anyone experienced any glitches with the grenade launcher? Because I have... I found that the grenades have a huge delay in firing sometimes. The sound of the grenade launcher is heard but it takes a good 3 to 4 seconds for the grenade to actually be fired. I found this to happen half of the time using them, and its getting annoying.
I'm starting to wonder if its lag, because my PC isn't the greatest... Yet the game rarely lags when I'm actually using the grenade launcher, so I don't know...

Some input on this would be nice, because I'm baffled...

Hmm no never had any issues with it shoots straight away no delay to sound.

On xbox

I'm on PC and I have not observed this. The GL is an indirect fire weapon, so there is a delay between it firing and hitting the target.

it can take several minutes before a grenade explodes, grenade launcher sometimes fire a regular bullet instead and seconds later you hear the "plop" from the grenade

[GAMEPLAY] Grenade launcher delay

Some players have been reporting a delay while using the grenade launcher, wether when fired or when the grenade reach the ground. We are currently investigating.

That is exactly what I was noticing. I'm glad they are looking into it. Hopefully they are also looking into the buggy 3-rnd burst firing mode as well...

This is by far the most, and honestly only, game breaking glitch I have experienced so far. Nothing like staring down a charging convoy or enemy truck, expecting your grenade launcher to do its job then you fire and nothing. Then you start reloading, now getting shot by the not-destroyed enemy and as you are reloading the grenade finally fires... where you were originally aiming... where there is now a civilian car going by.

I see videos of this happening and being reported during closed beta and it somehow still made it all the way to release. Rest of the glitches I have seen are extremely minor and don't really effect play but this it completely game breaking when it happens.

Or that time you switch to your grenade launcher, try to fire it at an incoming truck.. only to realise that you recently switched your GL for a foregrip
