Concussion Grenade

Does it even do anything to the enemy? I've got videos where I've thrown it, had it hit an enemy and then that enemy immediately obliterate me. It's like it does nothing at all. Also, sometimes I'll throw it, it goes like 3 feet and goes off in my face and concusses the hell out of me. 

Anyone else see issues with it?

    There is a problem with the concussion grenades area of effect on where it lands in relation to a player’s FoV. If it doesn't land directly in your targets current field of view it will have no effect. This is just another thing that needs to be looked at and fixed.

    Here’s some Examples:
    1. If you throw a concussion nade at me from behind and it lands directly at the back of my feet, I am not looking in the direction of the blast so it has no effect on me even though it is right by me.
    2. I see you throw a concussion nade at me while you are running in my direction which will land directly in my FoV so I quickly turn around to move away. When the grenade goes off, I’m looking the other way and it blinds you instead because you are running towards the direction you threw it even If I am closer to the blast its not in my FoV.
    3. You do a bad throw which lands and explodes to the side of your own FoV and also to the side of your targets FoV, you will both end up partially impaired.

    It should NOT work this way; it should blind everything in its area of effect no matter if the concussion grenade lands in the players direct field of view or not.

    So, this is a lot like that “if a tree falls in the woods question”. If a concussion grenade explodes and no one is looking in its direction, does it blind anyone?

    @Padding_Ur_Stats Yai just hip fire when blinded seeing as how every weapon in the game has major hipfire spread. You'll get hit markers and get the kill. I miss the days of laser sight actually making weapons have tight hipfire spread in bf3/bf4

    It's a concussion grenade, no one should be negating it's affect inside a blast circle for it. If you're looking in it's direction or not, it's still going to explode. 

    What skill? No one is going to calculate out y = h + xtan(α) - gx²/2V₀²cos²(α) on a piece of paper when it's thrown.


    God forbid that something that can land you free kills require some kind of skill/thought to be used effectively

    Following this logic might aswell make all gun hitscan since no one has time to calculate bullet drop and the lead 

    You shouldn't be blinded by something you can't see

    Stun the player, blur his vision make his aim move whatever that's annoying but manageable

    Blinding everyone in it's AOE is straight up dumb and will make every infantry focused map a concussion grenade spam
