Re: Wattson Ultimate

@JColli92 I think I am pretty sure I know. The pylon has a range in which it will zap all grenades that would land in it’s range. You can throw it out as long as it isn’t inside the range.

    @Sir_Named My reply wasn’t directed towards you. I apologize if it made it seem or feel that way. It was a blanket statement.
  • @JColli92 Nah, it’s alright. I just meant that I thought I knew how it worked, I didn’t mean to sound kind of rude.
  • @JColli92 Ok, just tested it. I went close to the pylon, threw a grenade out. It worked, but that’s probably because it isn’t inside the range of the pylon. I threw a grenade near the outer edges, but still inside, and it got zapped. Finally, I threw a grenade super close and it got zapped. I think that it really is just if the grenade lands within the range.
  • This issue with Wattsons ult was definitely addressed in a previous update, but for whatever reason it has resorted back to its old ways. They had made an update where if the trajectory of the grenade made its landing spot outside of the ult's ring, it would be safe. but I could stand near the ult and throw a grenade 20-30 meters away and it will still get zapped. kinda makes wattson take a backseat.

  • @Condor442 I think the ult’s range could have been increased. It also could’ve been a frag that would’ve rolled in, so that would be zapped.
  • @Sir_Named I don't think you understand. literally last night I was playing and I was on the corner building in Capitol City that is closest to Skyhook. I set up my ult and my fences, and then a team started shooting at us from the building just south of us. I went to go throw grenades at them(a pretty far distance from my ult that was placed on the north side of the building) and my ult would zap the grenades moments after leaving my hand. The way it is suppose to work is that if the trajectory line(when you throw your grenade) ends outside of the blue circle(that marks your ult coverage) than those grenades should be fine(unless they roll into the circle) but if I'm throwing away from the ult, theres no way that it would roll anywhere near it.
