I use Nothing Manacles in PvE all the time, tracking works without problems. But in PvP often it doesn't seem to work for me.
I throw a Scatter next to a player and the projectiles don't seem to track him. When I throw a Scatter next to an enemy in PvE, same distance to the enemy, the projectiles go crazy and fly towards it.
Edit: I'm not talking about bouncing Scatters, that's not an issue I have.
-
Bungie nerf it so bad, they broke it. Sometimes the grenades don't detonate.
-
I use em on my voidwalker but am looking to switch to skip grenades with the other exotic arms. The scatter nades are too inconsistent. Nothing beats a Nova bomb multi kill though. I love wiping full Fireteams at their heavy spawn.
-
Only a few of them track anymore: there was an adjustment made months back, during the Taken King I believe. Possibly before the April update. I think they also reduced the damage as well so they were essentially a poor grenade with poor tracking. Nothing Manacles only really give you a second Scatter grenade, which isn't as useful in PVP as I would like. Basically, NM only make Scatter Grenades "less worse". Aside poor grammar, it's a more accurate description compared to "slightly better".
-
There is a known issue with memory of fellwinter disabling tracking on scatter nades. Maybe other atrifacts have that problem too.
-
Yeah, get used to it, Voidwalker. Get used to the Scatter Wiggle. Thats when it bounces up without expanding.
-
Yep. I run them all the time in PvP and they work about 70% of the time for me.
-
I've had a couple of bounces but over all they work fantastic for me. I wouldn't use anything else in pvp as void
-
Nope, it's not just you. I traded in my nothing manacles for ophidians. The fúcken grenades bounce once or twice before detonating, and by the time they do detonate the tracking is half assed. I've slammed a scatter nade into a fools chest and it not come close to killing him with so called "tracking." Meanwhilst getting one-timed by cross map skip grenades

-
If they even made the tracking even half as good as skip grenades we might have a half decent exotic there
-
Seems a bit 50/50 for me.
-
Mine seem to work backwards and always track me instead.
-
Yeah I've noticed I have to throw them right at an enemy player's face for the projectiles to even consider tracking him.
-
Yep mine were bouncing around in Ib last week like critters on steroids without actually going anywhere sometimes or more frequently damaging myself rather than the opposition.

Edited by BaconFrisbee: 11/19/2016 1:26:48 PMYeah. I've noticed this too. What really bugs me though is when you throw a scatter and the bloody thing bounces clear across the map before shattering. PvP or PvE. It doesn't matter.
