I understood the use of corn throwing that huge butter chunk in GW2 but I'm just not quite understanding the intended use of butter beacon..please give me the instances where you would use beacon, and how it is helpful...I'm not criticizing it at all because I don't know how he should be using it..thanks!
It’s just to locate players behind walls or obstructions. Does no damage whatsoever but it is useful. In tight quarters you can throw it to see who’s around the corner. If there’s 3 scientist and a super brainz, then you’ll probably want to turn around and run. If you didn’t throw the beacon, then you just would of run into a world of hurt.

Showing enemy position can really turn things around, especially in more tactical modes.
It's pretty much been answered here, but tac intel is huge in games like this. Throwing it and finding that there's 3 zombies behind a wall that you didn't see is extremely handy since it lights them for your whole team. You also do more damage to those with the beacon effect. I was unsure of it at first but I use it a lot now.
@Iron_Guard8It doesn't feel quite as bad now as it did & it does have its uses, but I confess I'm greedy & would love to have the old butter barrage with beacon added to it as an upgrade (or vice versa) 😂
Edit: typo
Thanks guys!
I love it when I teammate is using Kernel Corn and using the ability as its so handy for strategy when using lower health characters such as acorn and nightcap.
Also, the bigger picture is that it lights up the enemy for those few seconds you can also guess the next direction the enemy is taking which is great for the whole plants team in general 🙂
