Grenade does no damage?

[jg007]

I have go grenades up to lvl 8 now and have pretty much got started to get the hang of them, I dont think that the direct hit is fully correct especially when you look at the vets in kingshead as you can hit them all at the same time .

a lot of my leveling has been with giant crabs , throwing a grenade then walking back a bit and throwing another although this can be hard to get the hang of and getting the throw angle right is important as is getting the 'long throw' meter to the correct amount to land close enough to do damage.

one of the other ways I have used to lvl is to tag several rock crabs and once I have got their attention do the same thing walking back, throwing and moving back again.

if you want the cheaters way ... go to kingshead stand behind the fence and throw the grenades at the cluster as this way they cannot get to you.

I've found that the best way to level up my grenades is to first unlock the Hex Eater shot on my pistol, go to the beach on Padres, and shoot the gypsy until its voodoo level is down to nothing (2-4 shots, depending on the level) and then toss grenades at it.

You call it the "cheaters way", whereas I say that's just being a smart pirate.

The game designers put the fence there and also limited the Navy's access to it and their attack ability. Therefore, it's a game feature (and not a bug) and can be utilized by those pirates savvy enough to take advantage of it.

lol sorry but gonna keep calling it the cheaters way .

Also personally I find it too boring doing it that way as it starts to become just a grind when you are trying to lvl up as quick as possible without even a chance of getting kill , as ever entirely up to people and this is just my PERSONAL opinion

People take advantage of the "cheater's way" in all games.
The benefit of a ranged attack in most games is to be able to attack an enemy from farther away to prevent yourself from getting attacked back. Typically, the drawback to using these is having some sort of stat drained (voodoo in this case) or ammuniton being used. So really, this isn't cheating.

SIDE TIP: Don't use Explosives, Stink Pots, smoke grenades, and probably siege charges when enemies are next to you. Why? Because the attack range of a grenade can hit YOU, too. Explosives and siege charges will do lots of damage, stink pots will slow you down, and smoke grenades obscure the screen, making it harder to aim somewhat.
