Thanks for that! So, looks like there needs to be substantial trial and error to learn how much you have to lead your target when not firing point blank in front. I kinda wish there was an incoming indicator for the reds like with JR and RM so that could possibly chase human snipers out of cover. I also wish the splash was bigger. At R5, the splash is currently 5m which is less than RM at R6 unbuffed with implants. Projectiles also look slower than RMs so I think I will run it like a close range hammer when I finally use mine. I have a splash implant for 33% for Nades. So that's about 6.5 meters? At longer ranges over 50-75m I move my aim left and right while firing to spread the damage and make a hit more likely. I might even kill a wounded mech. Point blank I don't think about leading but I might try that. Nades do just about as well as MRs at point blank. A new experiment.... Brickhouse with Nades! 105% damage bonus. This gonna be gud. 😁  |

I had a thought yesterday and tried a 1v1 in custom with Nade12/AT12 on my Surge. I was able to kill my first target by dual firing but then I wanted to try with just the NL12. At point blank range, just firing the NL12, I literally just chipped at the Bastion and when I saw how little damage I did, I fired both guns and did more damage but the Bastion woke up and then killed my Surge. So, experiment was a failure.
I don't have the gold damage implant for the NL. At best, I think I have the purple damage, range and radius implants. Of those 3, I'm probably only going to use the damage and radius implants. I have two of the range implants and I think I'm going to scrap them both since I'm only going to use the NL12 for CQC. I don't know if I should wait for for Impulse though. I have Major at R4 and I don't use him on anything cause I don't use Assault weapons and even if I did, I probably would favour Neymar over Major for the extra speed and quicker Sprint recharge. Also with Neymar, I could switch to MR12 if I decided to.
It's a shame, it feels like Plarium had released this great balanced, fun and challenging weapon but then decided to ignore it and move to other stuff that was more OP. They came out with NL before the Miniguns and yet there's oodles of Minigun flavours and a legendary as well and we're still stuck with only Impulse for the Barrage class.
Oh well....I'll keep organically collecting and upgrading my NL for a bit. If I manage to clone it before my Bastion is ready, then I'll likely try the NL on both Surge and KS. If the NL works on Surge, then I'll move the AT12 to Bastion.

Well Nade Launchers just got a buff. My 5.4 NL12 went from 50k to 60k overnight!

I guess there aren’t enough 1-shot kill weapons in the game already.  |

I'v tried fitting my dual NL6 on a Brickhouse with the Legendary NL Damage implant. No dice.
I barely hit anything, and when I do I barely scratch the maxed out enemy bots who punish me with their maxed out EMs and GBs 🙄

My plan is to wait to clone my NL12 before I use it. I will first use on Surge as a point blank in your face thing and then maybe eventually think about putting on Bastion if I ever max it. If it works on Surge, that would free my AT12s for something else.

I put NL8s on Redeemer yesterday and did pretty well on TDM. I found a decent spot for hitting midrange targets from cover. The Nades fly straighter and hit the target better at mid range. I've also found that firing one NL weapon at a time allows almost constant firing. Its like the reloads take the same time as firing a full magazine.
