Nanoweave armor 5 or grenade bandolier?

    Would any of you HAs that have unlocked nanoweave 5 recommend it? Or would I be better off getting the grenade bandolier and carrying 3 concussion grenades? I've heard double concussion grenades invert peoples' controls and screw them up way more than a single concussion.

    I'd say go for nanoweave. A little more health is always useful and with 5 you will survive most sniper shots to the head.

    I've never seen concussion effects stack. The closer the person is to the center of the blast the worse the effects but getting hit by two concussion grenades at the same range will have the same effect as 1. What 3 would do is give you the potential to stun three groups of enemies instead of just one.

    I like that you don't even mention the possibility of carrying 3 frags, because frags are terrible now.

    Go with nanoweave, it's the best in slot option for every class.

    I can recommend nanoweave and resist shield. They seem to make the HA pretty strong. Then again the bandolier isn't bad idea either since the concussion is the best grenade in the game. So yeah take either one, I dont think you can go wrong.

    i Rock nanoweave 5 cant see much else needed most of the suit slots are just not worth taking and munition pouch and ammo mags should be moved to the individual weapons, at least wont be stocking up certs so easy

    I never really felt the need to invest in grenade bandolier, but Nanoweave is an absolute lifesaver! I'd say go Nano.

    That said, I love my munitions pouch too. I run out of launcher ammo so often that I frequently find myself wishing I had it equipped when I opt to go without it.

    Go with Nanoweave 5. Grenade Bandolier is incredibly situational,
    while NW5 will constantly come into play. If you have extra certs
    laying around or you work with a well coordinated squad that will
    be able to take advantage of a 3-Concussion situation, then sure,
    I could see it as a viable option, but not as a lone wolf.

    I have both levels of Ammo Belt unlocked, and I pare that with the
    Lasher + Extended Mag on occasion, and then with the Ursa and
    Flare (+ Mags) for very very situational places I like to get myself
    into, but that's my playstyle, so it works for me.

    I find that Nanoweave 5 is the most effective at range. In CQC being able to survive another bullet is not that big of a deal. Much more so when shooting at long range

    Been running with full nanoweave for months now, its awesome and always has been. If you couple it with adrenalin shield you got a very nice combo for CQB clearing.

    And at range with the damage drop off with most weapons its even more wicked, and like someone else said you will be able to survive a sniper shot to the head most of the time.

    Strongly recommend it!

    Wrong. They do stack and whilst I've not checked in this patch, they have always reversed your input, making it almost impossible to compensate.

    Using nanoweave5 will definitely help you a lot in most situations. I use it with the resist shield fighting short-mid range. I plan to create a loadout with 3 concussion grenades and shotgun for biolab fights when I don't have anything else to spend my certs on, but it is highly situational. I rarely managed to use concs out in the open reliably.

    protip: AV grenades kill a VS MAx with ZOE in one hit, carry 3 of them for more fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  13. KnightCole

    I would vote NWA5. Resupply terminals are very plentiful and if you use the 1 nade, just go resupply lol. I know that's how I do it.

    Rush out, shoot the hell outa people, heal up, run back, resupply, run out, kill, run back...yeah....lol
  14. Badname2490

    lol flak armor.
  15. KnightCole

    Why flak armor? Blast radius on weapons and tanks are so bad you an get hit in the face and still not die.

    I know with NWA4 I survive the blast from mines and tank blasts.
  16. capocapone


    i would get none...and start dumping into max...HA suck if you use anything besides shottys and smgs...the die like...ants
  17. Buphalo

    Did a bad man with a shotgun or smg touch you in your naughty places? Seriously seems like it since you have posted pretty much the same line in at least 3 other topics.
  18. Crewell

    This is true. Yesterday I got 3 ZOE Max with one AV grenade I chucked into a tightly packed room the BS were defending.
  19. Ripshaft


    Do you want triple the nades or 25% more hp? Or more importantly which one do you want first?
