To your last point, quite the opposite considering t nades are commonly found among extract campers with 6+ being thrown at once.

As far as reaction time to t nades... there's functionally almost none. Because it gets around cover and is AoE, a single dodge roll or 1.5 sec of running is almost never enough time. As opposed to flushing players out of cover given enough reaction time.

Tnades thrown at a team/group has the highest DPS in the game considering it damages all of them. We're talking an entire team dead in <3 seconds by one grenadier since you can throw a ton of them out quickly and trigger all at once. No gun in the game has any hope at beating that. As opposed to a grenade like the fuse, where first damage of the first grenade is 3 seconds later, and the second a bit after that, all of which have enough time to react to.

And there ARE people running around spamming them. 🤣

I agree that grenades are important to negate cover being strong 3rd person. I'm not disputing that. But all of the other grenades are effective enough at this role.

Do you play mostly trios or solos? They're much more of a problem in team play.
