[zoidfreak]

When picking up a ammo box you don't always get a grenade, is this supposed to happen just curious;it's always been like this.

a box gives you half a grenade, so 2 will give you 1

apparantly, not sure though.

 

[zoidfreak]

thanks for answer , even thou it seems like that it sometimes take more than 2 ammo boxes to get 1 grenade

It appear to be finicky about this. It possibly stores parts of a grenade separately and something other than just picking up ammo boxes modifies it. I've even picked up two boxes in a row and received two grenades.

Lol, they store the grenade in one box, and its pin in the other box ?




Co'on, there is a thing called logic. Please, use it. It's free, and it's good.



It's a chance for a ammo box to contain the grenade. Some have, some don't. And according to ... me, higher difficult reduce this chance.

I've never looked at how many grenades I wind up picking up on hard from ammo boxes (More concerned about the actual bullets tbh )

Although I have noticed that on normal I always get a grenade in an ammo box and hard I dont. So it seems to be difficulty specific.

Seems to be random. It's funny being able to just steal all the ammo boxes even when you are full ammo (apart from grenades) due to it being completely random whether you get a grenade or not.

Each ammo box gives .5 Frag Grenades and .25 Pipe Bombs. Not worth it, except in emergencies, as on Hard or Suicidal (Where I play), ammo boxes are incredibly rare and take forever to respawn.

Nothing pisses me off more than when a demoman nabs upwards of 6 ammo boxes just for a freaking pipe bomb when I'm sitting with almost empty ammo in my Shotguns...ugh...

QFT. I'm pretty sure NanoStrike is correct in his explaination of how the ammo boxes work.

I've gotten 3 frag grenades from grabbing 3 boxes in a row.

FYI to Bio666, it's a video game.
Do you think you could stand one hit from any monster in this game and go off walking and heal yourself with a shot over and over?

I'm pretty sure you've got a half chance to get a grenade and a 1/4 channce for a pipe bomb, I've received a pipe bomb from the first ammo box in a match before.

I'm pretty sure it's always half a grenade on difficulties hard and suicidal, maybe normal too, because on those I always get a grenade after 2 boxes, and 1 on beginner.

For a pipebomb it's usually 2 on beginner / normal.

Sorry ScareFace I should have searched first and told the OP. Um well if you brought this up can you give us a confirmation on how they work and on which difficulties?

I can confirm that on both Hard AND Suicidal, my earlier statement is correct.

.5 Hand Grenades per box
.25 Pipe Bombs per box

If you die, the counter seems to start over, as well. If you were at .75 of a pipe bomb and bite the big one, when you respawn, you're at .0 of a pipebomb again.

Not sure if reloading your pipes has any effect on this, though. Boxes are so rare on Hard/Suicidal, however, that getting pipes from them isn't viable and getting nades from them is still pretty wasteful. Don't take ammo boxes unless it does more than give you grenades...seriously!

On Beginner/Normal, the boxes give more ammo, so I'm not sure about those. I stopped playing Normal a long time ago.
