Make Zeds Stupid!

If it is annoying, that is a good thing. It won't annoy me, because I know how to throw nades so the zeds can't dodge em easily
I agree with this COMPLETELY. I've lost more health from a gorefast I beheaded with my Scar a while go...who walks 50 feet straight towards me to get in a swipe or to, while I busy dealin with zeds which are actually alive.

Rly? They always walk away from the nades
, unless in tight space where they cant move. Thats why grenades are pretty much useless in open areas... you cant even kill a fakin clot with it since they run away and get only a slight blast wave damage.. >_>GREAT idea. Hope they implement that.
If you throw a nade at a group of oncoming zeds they will always and i repeat ALWAYS try to move away from it, unless they already have ahold of you.
1) load upWest london
2) use clot mutator
3) throw nade...watch them scatter
4) realize ScarFace was right
5) come back to the forum and apologize to ScarFace
I've rarely seen them do it.
They just walk to the side a little, or miss the grenade by walking forward.

I completely agree with this too. They do seem to still know where you are and that just doesn’t make sense. They have eyes and ears so no head should leave them completely discombobulated.
Exactly. They walk away from it and like others have stated, your nades won’t even kill a clot when they do this. Now if you are in a hallway then ya, they can’t really get away from it. What we’re talking about is in an open area. Point is, they should not try to avoid a nade cause they are dumb. If they are supposed to be smart enough to know what a nade is, then maybe they should be throwing them back at us. Or finding ammo and weapons laying around and shooting at us. That would make more sense.
Well maybe they have instincts like animals or something.
If you threw a rock at a tiger it would move away from it just out of pure reflex. If it put two and two together it might even understand that the gray rock things can go splodey splodey and hurt him.

I usually save up my grenades for escaping. If I'm stuggling I can just throw down a few and leg it knowing that they will be too busy avoiding the grenade thus allowing you to escape.
Of course throw the nade in FRONT of them and not into them. Since the grenade doesn't always kill it might throw one of them at you.

Always have wanted to cook grenades in KF.
I've seen both behaviors. Some try to dodge and some don't. I think it has to do with whether or not they have the grenade thrower targeted.
It's never bothered me that much...but since the Level Up patch, vanilla grenades are a hell of a lot less impressive. So I've noticed the avoidance behavior more lately.
In the end I prefer tougher bots though, and I still want to keep the AI behavior in. Specimen are fairly mindless already, and don't need to be any more so.
And yes to changing the headless specimen behavior. That seems to be an intentional thing, because bloats display the proper amount of wandering around without their heads.
TWI might not want the baseline shock troops to be even less effective than they already are. You get used to keeping an eye on headless specimen, especially Gorefasts, and while I do like that, it still feels wrong to get pursued by headless guys.

this thread is so fail lol
I like to spin my character in circles so when i throw a grenade the g-force will make it fly farther and faster.

Not to mention that a beheaded FP raged on you will seek you out like a guided missile. That and the nade avoidance really piss me off with the specimens. Hand grenades are almost useless vs most specimens now.
this feature was actually deliberatly added, twas a few patches back i think people were asking for it to be added back then...
You can still make FPs bleed out? I remember it was like that before the patch but I thought it was fixed.
I don't remember this at all and I've been reading these forums since the retail release.
