I learned that I needed to use this combo while trying out with Osiris. I use Z for grenades and F for grav gun. Right click the grenade the second you throw it pull out grav gun and right click. Once the grenade is picked up with the grav gun its 5 second timer is started, you will kill yourself many times while learning how to use htis.

I'm similar to Keeper.

I use "Q" for grenades and "F" for grav gun. Keeper's explained how to use it and you WILL kill yourself a lot but it becomes easier with practice. You do it this way 99% of time.

But, if you're ambitious...There is another way of using grenade gravgun combo. After throwing the grenade in front of you, instead of catching it with gravgun (secondary fire), aim grav gun at grenade and press primary fire. This will launch the grenade a great distance very quickly. This is handy if you want to grenade someone very far away. But it can also be inaccurate unless you get it just right.

Find a server where you don't mind making a fool of yourself and only play using grenades. You'll be surprised how quickily it comes to you. Good luck. Very Happy

I always run with a grenade in my hand(in real life too-"rgd" Twisted Evil ) i press "Q" to get previous weapon(gravygun)... If i need another weapon(i prefer stuntstick at all times, when i have no grenades), i choose this weapon by pressing digits(1-5) Laughing

I have grenade on F and gravgun on G. I also killed myself often while learning it. I played only with the grenade because that is the only way to learn it quick and effectively. you will sure miss other weapons but after you learn nades you will combine them and be able to kill some players very easily (gangster (0.9) for me as an example Cool ) that were hard to kill before. it took me 1 1/2 weeks for me to learn it so that I donīt blow up anymore.

I use a different key configuration.

I throw the grenade with right click then I take my gravgun with mouse 3 and i catch the grenade.

I think this method is easy for beginner.

How true. I started trying the grav/nade combo a couple days ago (making a fool of myself on TSGK servers) and can pull it off reasonably well. Too bad the rest of my game needs a bit of work (inconsistancy)! I have grenades and grav gun bound to mouse 4 and 5, switching between the two is just a thumbs press away.

I have been practicing the combo a lot lately. I use 2 for nades and G for Grav Gun. I tried moving grav gun to F but just doesnt work.. lol I am too used to hitting G. Anyways I can pull it off now and my KpD should definately be goin up. Not sure if Im ready for Osiris though...

use F for nades, that way the two buttons are beside each other and its faster then reaching up to 2.

Not sure there is a best way, just find whats comfortable for you. Expect to commit suicide a lot while learning to judge how long you can hold it for. Once mastered, there's little more satisfying than taking out two or three in a mellee for the "Multikill" sound Very Happy

PostPosted: Tue Sep 26, 2006 23:04    Post subject:  So Ya Wanna Know The Trick To Usin' Grenades Effectively, Eh
Subject description: The Ins and Outs of Being a Grenadier =D
 

Here's the dirty details of how to use the grav gun & the grenade to their fullest effect.

First off, the grenade can be tossed by hand in one of two ways: a hard throw (primary fire); and a very light toss (secondary fire). If you're crouching and press secondary fire, you'll roll the grenade across the floor instead of tossing it (can be very useful at times).

If you press secondary fire with the grenade and then immediately switch to the grav gun, you can snatch the 'nade out of the air before it touches the ground by using the grav's secondary fire function.

When you pick up the 'nade, it'll begin chirping. REMEMBER THIS COUNT SEQUENCE: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - BOOM!! It chirps 5 times; on the 6th "chirp," it will explode instead of chirping. It counts down quickly, so don't diddle around with the 'nade in your grav gun's clutches for too long. That is, unless, you're gonna kamikaze someone. =D

To get an idea of how many chirps to wait before launching the 'nade, all you can do is experiment and gain experience with it. As a good rule of thumb, wait 1 - 2 chirps for long-distance targets, 3 - 4 chirps for mid-range targets, and 4 - 5 chirps for close targets.

For REALLY long distance targets (like a camper at the health station with the green light at the top of killbox_tsgk_v6 and such maps), you can toss the 'nade in the air with secondary fire and switch to the grav gun *BUT!* instead of using secondary fire to grab the 'nade, just press primary fire IMMEDIATELY. If ya did it right, you'll hit the 'nade with the force of the grav gun's primary burst, and you'll send the 'nade clear across any TSGK killbox map!!

Now for the KEY secret with the grenade, know this - whenever you pick up a live 'nade off the ground with your grav gun, the 'nade's timer will reset. That's right, it'll start over, and you'll have 5 chirps to get rid of it! With this in mind, if you've found a good perch from which to snipe people with your 'nades and ya snatch up a 'nade in your grav gun, you can keep dropping and picking up the same 'nade without it blowing up in your face! Just don't let it roll between your legs or something equally stupid, 'cuz then you'll have fire shootin' up your ass. =P

Good luck to ya, chief. I hope these pointers help out anyone else who comes arcross this thread. =D

Orb bursting is favourite technique
