Riot Foam Grenade is useless | Forums

[toxicFrag]

It has so small radius that NPCs easily escape it.

The base radius is also 0, so mad bomber doesn't increase it.

It would be a lot more useful if it say, had integrated cooked trait. Explode as soon as it hits the ground.

Yeah it is comical and ridiculously ineffective. I have yet to enounter an add that didn't easily dodge it....even if pinned down and suppressed

Is the riot-foam chem-launcher skill any better? Last I heard it was also kinda useless.
I mean, foam is kinda useless to start with. If you're going to hit someone with a grenade, then something that kills them is obviously going to be more effective, and if they're too tough to die to a frag, and want to force them out of cover so that you can open up on them with your whole squad, then shock or burning are both preferable status effects.

I mean, there's a reason the enemies with flamethrowers are about 500x more threatening than the guys with foam-launchers.

Yea it has too small Radius imo it should work like when you destroy Foam True Son Weak point - its blow and Foam other enemy around

more effective with gunner is when some teammate running survivalist and just Flame nade them so you can use minigun while they dancing in the flames

PRO TIP - if you are ever Foamed by enemy dont press (F/interact) just without aiming = mean blind fire your shoes and you gonna be free in 1 sec
