I believe impact grenades to be the most broken REACT tech in the game. It can do so many things.
1) It can break through soft walls, this allows for a rotate in a tough situation.
2) They come in stacks of 4 meaning you will have a lot to use throughout the mission.
3) They stun enemies by knocking the flying if they are not killed by the explosion and this allows you to insta kill elite units with a takedown partnered with this.
4) You can remove spores attached to your body by throwing an impact at your feet. This DOES NOT damage you meaning you can through an area and if spores attack you you can just launch a grenade at your feet and continue onwards without a penalty.
5) You can get this as your first unlocked REACT tech meaning it is really easy to access and partnered with someone who can heal like Doc or Finka it makes solo incursions a breeze.
Do I think this needs to be nerfed? I believe that the impact should damage YOURSELF when thrown at your feet as being able to remove spores with it is extremely useful and without taking damage means it’s an always use situation. Very good item, recommend using it.
