Plasma or Frag?

[Jaged]

Ahh, the age old question. What type of grenade should I use with my new-found love, the thumper. I have been using frag grenades to great effect for some time now. Would plasma be better for mowing down infantry?

[ChewyLSB]

Use Plasma Grenades for Infantry, Frag for Vehicles, and Jammer for mines/vehicles. If I remember correctly (it's been awhile since I've used the thumper), it takes 3 direct plasma grenades to kill a rexo.

Don't use the thumper for infantry... unless you're indoors and want to bounce the 'nades off walls. I much prefer the rocklet rifle, aim for the feet and you can kill agile's really easily, rexos.. not as easily but it's not great challenge, and as for MAXes.. well... I've done it a few times, but .. meh.

Plasma is most likely better when using the thumper defending a base. Frag to me is good for more long range combat.

Umm, why does it bleep my signature out for my char: ICanNeverThink Of Names? My name doesn't have spaces but if you write it without spaces it bleeps part of it.

[MrPaul]

Because the letters O, F and N are together. Maybe. Even though we have this smiley: :***: bleh...

EDIT: ROFL! Go on advanced post and look under the smilies at the "more" and you get the option to put this critter in > [IMG]http://www.planetside-universe.com/forums/images/smilies/***.gif[/IMG] but the name is: :o f n: (without spaces) so it won't allow it. Hamma, maybe ye need to sort that out.

Maybe becuase those letters are ***

I prefer Farg to Plasma because 1 It damages health a bit more then plasma (at least in me past) and 2 It because its more controled that means less grief

[ZionsFire]

Frag for MAX's and plasma for infantry.

I agree. Always used Frag myself. Very powerful for killing Troops, MAX Units, and Vehicles.

i belive plasma is weaker but has a bigger blast radius, while frag is stronger but has a smaller blast radius.

i like all three nades, they all have thier uses, but if its just a hand nade then go with the jammer, its an awesome tool.

I always used Plasma. IMO, the best grenade over all. It does a lot of damage to infantry, while it may allow them to heal a bit, thjey'll be so obsessed with the plasma they're easy pickings for you or someone else.

[Deadlock]

if its a crowd, stick with frag, they kill quicker... if its sparse defense and ur not in danger of grief go for plazma, it doesnt kill as quick but it runs a mental attack on your attackers. Their hud flashes read and they run off to heal not leaving any time for them to judge ur actual numbers.

Use the thumper for everything. I do and i manage just fine.
