My idea is a grenade that once thrown will in seconds "got to give them a fighting chance" explodes letting out massive waves of energy and magnetic currents that knocks any humans\vehicles unfortunate enough to be caught blast ,back flying for a long distance.Most likey severely injuring"Im sure if you were knocked back into a brick wall at super fast speeds you would have a pain in your body too !lol " the victims.

I call it the Force Grenade A.K.A The Coward Grenade

An EMP shock grenade? Not a bad idea. In more technical terms, a chemical reaction in the core of the grenade creates massive energy charge that gets released, and ends up with an extremely bright and blue explosion that can throw anything close into distances.

:D

THX,but I got lost at EMP !lol

Electro Magnetic Pulse. If a pulse is powerful enough, it could fry organic parts as well as metal.

This is simple science, anyone should know this stuff. ;)

EMP.. i dunno if that is for kinetic force.. more of an electronic circuit destroying thing.. i could be rong tho :)

anyhow.. a force grenade sounds ok.. like a super concussion grenade..

EMP grenade would kill anyone not wearing a suit that deflects the energy charge that crashes on you upon explosion. :O

An EMP shock grenade would be great when fighting vehicles! it could shut down the systems and stop the vehicle for a few seconds (now anyone will have a fighting chance against Leviathan!)!

Or just destroy the vehicle. Since an EMP grenade fries every microchip, circuit and machine in proximity.
But that might get annoying, so your idea is probably better in terms of gameplay & strategy.

I thought of yours first but than realized what you just did plus BF 2142 helped! Gotta love the Mechs!

maybe some kind of emp emitter or something that would take time to set up and would disable vehicles for a period of time and maybe force those inside the vehicle to eject...or lock them in so you can take pot shots at them. the delay in set up and charging of the emp would be important for strategy so you cant just blindly lob an emp bomb and disable something as big as a leviathan so easly.

No,all that would happen is that all your skin would be pealed off,you would have a broken back,would be covered in radiation,and couldnt have children !lol Now it dosn't sound so bad dos it?

EMP stands for electro magnetic pulse, so it's a magnetic wave, not a kenetic. That being said, it would be really cool to see a anti tank granade that was specialized. I liked planetsides version of it. It would Freeze the tank for a few seconds. Would be cool to have it Knockback people as well.

That is only possible when the charge reaches levels measured in terawatts, as far as I know. When magnetic field starts to affect organs too.

But hey, RS won't have a problem putting a few terawatts into the energy core of an EMP grenade. :P

In most games emp granades just shut down the electrical equipment... like in battle front and in comand and conqour

Author:  Bjossi [ Sun Jun 25, 2006 3:02 pm ]
Post subject:  Weapon Idea-Coward Grenade

Yes, that is because the invisible shock they generate fries every electrical equipment in proximity. So basicly vehicles caught in the affected area should be permamently broken.

And at certain levels the shock will affect organs as well so an EMP grenade can possibly kill the players too.

How about a radiation projectile / grenade that doesn't damage vehicles (much), but kills their occupants within a few secs? Basically the opposite of EMP.

Apart from stopping / capturing vehicles by either killing or flushing out (and then shooting) their occupants, you could also use the radiation field to temporarily make certain locations inaccessible. The radiation field would be about the size of a tank and last for 7 secs or so. Health would be drained fastest near the epicenter and slowest near the edges.

The projectile could be shot from a grenade launcher or rocket launcher, or better yet a weapon that is both. The Skrith, however, might have an energy weapon that has a similar effect...

I like that idea, it could be a grenade full of radioactive chemical like thorium or something else that is dangerous.

You are describing what was called a neutron bomb, an idea scrapted in the late 70's by Jimmy Carter if I recall correctly, Kill the people but leave the cities intact.

That's called a high power airburst grenade.

Yep, this grenade was indeed (partially) inspired by the neutron bomb. :) Actually I think they even developed neutron artillery shells at some point... But this projectile could simply contain some highly radioactive material, no explosion required (though you could add some nice radiation fx).

nades are always nice 2 have.. maybe we can make a whole bunch of them.. this included :)

well i gues the good thing is if you have the mutator "WoRM" then you can pick and choose wich ones you want.. so i say go for it make as many of them as you want.
