It dosn't mention grenades and i'm not sure if grenades are included in misc equipment.... it's a weapon afterall not something it'd put in the same category as medkits

You can't use grenades, I'm sure. They've mentioned it multiple times. The hands are just guns anyway.

Zatrais · 2003-01-19, 01:42 PM

Show me where they state that you can't use grenades in a MAX. And all the MAX's has atleast 1 hand thats not used, why should't it be able to grab a grenade and throw it....

Sputty · 2003-01-19, 01:47 PM

It can hardly move it's hand and MAXes can't sue weapons. A grenade is a weapon.

You're just pulling answers from thin air Sputty, if you can't prove that a dev has stated it then don't say it as a fact.

Sputty · 2003-01-19, 01:56 PM

They've stated they can't use weapons! Read the paragraph on MAXes.

*sigh*
Grenades are used from the inventory, no weapon slot for grenades. What the no weapon could and most likely means is that they can't use pistols, rifles and knifes.

Little info has been released about grenades.. we just know they can be set to detonate on impact or whit a 2 fuse and that they come in different types.. thats bout it.

Sputty · 2003-01-19, 02:04 PM

They can't have any epuipment like medic things and such.

Zatrais · 2003-01-19, 02:06 PM

they can't USE it but that dosn't mean they can't carry medpacks/other equipment in their inventories for team mates and such.

difference between beeing able to carry and beeing able to use.

Sputty · 2003-01-19, 02:10 PM

So? You said you thought they could use them....ehhh..

MAX's dont have an inventory, they have a 'box' where other people can store items/weapons.
oh and if you read the MAX paras then youll see that it says that they cant even use ACE's BANKs or MEDKITs let alone pull out a pin from a grenade!!!

I thought you had to switch out a weapon to your inventory and switch the grenade in to use it.

I could be wrong.

MAXs can carry grenades, but I would assume that they can't use them.

Sputty · 2003-01-19, 02:33 PM

I remember Dave saying that in a thread. Someone could find it. I'm a little too lazy.

Zatrais · 2003-01-19, 02:35 PM

......

Zanzibar did you just pull that from your ass?

Where did you get the information that they have a box where other people can store things and no inventory?

And why would they need to pull the pin out of a grenade? You studied the arming mechanism of the grenades in Planetside or something?

edit:

Just so it's clear, i'm not saying MAX's CAN use grenades. I'm saying that so far a dev has not stated that MAX's can't use grenades so it IS a possibility that a MAX can use one. I atleast can't remember reading that a MAX's can't use them or find proof that they can't.
