If a teammate Ogryn is using box of grenade in Mortis Trials with you, it ruins the entire match.
You don’t have to do anything, the Ogryn will just spam their ability and destroy everything after the 5th or 6th round. It’s over. All you get to do is mind-numbingly stare and try to reach the enemies before they kill everything. And watch the lag spike again and again, no matter your hardware.
And if you mention “that was boring” in chat?
”lol salty”
Playing like that was boring as hell and I was barely playing, while the Ogryn player can just spam some overpowered unbalanced ability build in Mortis trials, meme about things going boom, while I get to waste my time.
Box of grenades is too strong in Mortis Trials. I literally couldn’t even test if the picks I made with the round rewards were useful at all.
This is a few loadouts. I know I was guilty of standing in a corner artillery launching Rumbler rounds because you can just main it from start to end. If you get the no ammo on crit thing at the start everyone may as well leave. End of the round I’m spam firing off like 5-6 rounds between reloads. And then there’s the blitz.
To be honest that’s the only issue i have with them too, lol.
Yeah they are just grenade vet but better but it’s mortis trials, lol. They whole point is infinite hordes until you finish the object so it’s kinda fair.
It does feel more like an oversight or an exploit, doesn’t it. I do think that Mortis Trials should be a place where some combinations of indulgences should be crazy, like how back in the Chaos Wastes you could get a combination like 100% Crit After Taking Damage plus Hurt Yourself If You’re Above 50% Health plus Shoot Chain Lightning On Crit and then turn into Emperor Palpatine. As much as I actually like using the big box of framerate drops and reveling in its ridiculousness, it does feel like that time they accidentally made Smite cost no peril and therefore last forever if you used it with Empowered Psionics (a lot of broken builds turn you into Emperor Palpatine come to think of it). It was hilarious for a bit, but at some point we have to be like okay we’ve had our fun being amazingly overpowered, but wow 20 second grenade regeneration on an Ogryn really shouldn’t be a thing. Being able to throw a super frag every 20 seconds is kind of insane without the box even coming into it.
I think the solution is pretty obvious. Two tweaks: First, the 20 Second Grenade Regen should, on Ogryn, be upped to something like 60 seconds at least. Maybe more. Second, all of the On Grenade Explosion indulgences, like the healing or the brittleness or the explode twice thing etc, should be set to on box impact or on the first grenade explosion, so for the big box of hurt they only trigger once per thrown box.
