    Can we please have this ability :)

    I'd so love to be able to launch a grenade whilst doing a full summersault

    If Hyena Elite Grenadiers can do it surely we as top class division agents can do it, i mean iv'e seen some superman feats before but i'll give her credit for her athletic ability.


    Watch at 28 to 35 seconds she's mid flight as it launches right on target

    That is a pretty sweet move. I would like it if they blew themselves up when launching behind a pillar or under an awning.

    I'd like one of their grenade launchers that can fire an endless amount of grenades one after the other.

    You guys can have the grenades. I want to Uber shield that gives me the cool yellow glow and make you invulnerable to The Divisions hardened recycled cardboard bullets.

    (Worst event ever.)

    Normal ... it's every nonsense you see in this game, NPC suffering status effect and going into cover and even managing to shoot us, even suffering shock, snipers hitting through walls, guided grenades with greater precision than sniper rifles , drones that dodge our bullets and come at an absurd speed in our direction, etc ... normal ... normal ...

    Probably server lag-induced, but still pretty funny to see happen.

    I'm not sure, i know that's a weird thing to say but and i'll explain my reasoning.

    90%+ of the time when a Red or Purple grenadier of any faction launches or throws a grenade you can shoot it out of their hands and 90%+ of the time if you throw a grenade at them red/purple they'll move but still get caught in the blast.

    Now if we turn our attention to Elite Grenadiers and it's a whole different story, if you try and shoot the grenade or stop the launching of a grenade it doesn't work they'll always throw it also same with throwing a grenade at them they always roll/jump roll out of the way.

    That little clip in the middle of my play i threw that grenade deliberately as she was about to launch her grenade to see if

    1 she wouldn't roll out of the way whilst firing it.

    2 it would stop her firing off the geanade.

    As you can see it did neither, she rolled and fired, so somewhere in the coding once an Elite starts to fire off a grenade it will no matter what that Elite is doing.

    In order to stop enemies from using their ability you need to stagger them. To do that, you need to deal damage equal to ~30% of their armor in short period of time. For example, ANY Headshot with mmr will stop ANY enemies. Even a named one.

    And don't even try to argue. I'm playing right now and i interupt elites on heroic like from day one.

    That's what I was thinking: Just do enough damage in a short window of time.

    And that's why I said the original video clip was probably server lag. You can see the elite enter cover, then start the icon above their head to show the nade is about to be launched, but then also starts the combat roll before the icon finishes activating.

    Those combat rolls usually cancel or at least delay activation of an ability until after the animation completes. There must have been some kind of hiccup or something to where the nade activation finished before the roll or something.

    Or it could just be another in a long string of bugs. Server stability and gameplay quality has been utter garbage for a month or so.
