The Most Explosive Man In The World

September 22, 2025 by Tim

I’ve probably died more to my own grenades than anything else in Borderlands 4.

I prefer a Jakobs crit knife when I can find a good one, but I definitely cannot be trusted with the more explosive variety. And MIRVs, forget about it. It’s a good thing there’s no friendly fire in coop, or I’d have no friends left.

Looks familiar, especially when the reticle (on games that have one) shows you a spot in the distance right before you throw yet somehow it still hits the pole.

Happens every time: you do a cool thing by accident and when you try, you die and/or embarrass yourself 😔

And if you don’t hit a wall, it’s a enemy that has *so helpfully* jumped right in front of you.

I think the only ones I’ve liked are throwing knives, Ripper (teleports to target), and Order (homing).

Order is my favorite grenades by far. No aiming, just blindly chuck in their general direction and let it do the work.

I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve forgotten which hand throws things in Fallout 4, and ended a fight with raiders by slamming a Molotov into the wall right in front of me (when trying to throw it round a corner)… easy fight for them I guess, lol.

… I still can’t remember which hand throws the item. I *think* it’s the left?

I’ve actually had it happen once in counterstrike, that I strafe-jumped while throwing a grenade, only for a 1~2 inch wide pole to be in front of me mid-jump, RIGHT as I threw the grenade. Which of course somehow managed to not bounce straight back, but at an angle right at me.

NO friendly fire? Man thats half the fun, oh well back to helldivers. Good thing there are enough games for every one so no need to screechs everythibg needs to cater to my tastes. Right?

I bought one Borderlands bundle that gave you for BL 1 a quite powerful grenade modification with a weird effect area…I needed to die several times to notice I was being affected by the grenade… wonderful

This is me with any game with grenades. Hence I dont throw grenades. Theyre just little bundles of suicide.

On another note I love the blowing up person’s face: it somehow sells that “Darn it I did it again” vibe

Ahh, memories of playing Doom on the original Playstation when a door slams down in your face just as you pull the trigger on your rocket launcher. Yeah…

I play borderlands with my wife and she is a big fan of grenades. She likes running in close and personal so I rarely get to use mine. I’ve taken to sitting back while she causes mayhem and just sniping people off her back.

I’m a sucker for the singularity grenades. Something that lets me control the flow of the battle a bit is super useful and fun.

I was playing fallout 4 recently and shooting a missile launcher at an automatron in the last area of Mechanist’s lair, when Ada moved in front of me last second.

That’s why I prefer the heavy guns over throwables, when used after activating amon’s onslaught power they can generally take down or at least cause major damage to most bosses and without risk of blowing myself up!

You hit a target. It may not be the target you planned to hit, but you hit a target nonetheless.

Had a friend who was a Sgt. in Vietnam (MP, after an infantry tour). Tet went off. Some NVA or VC (I forget which) had got up on a building roof with sandbags and were firing into a large intersection. He was good with the M-79. He climbed up to an oppositional point across from the building with the bad guys, ranged by eye and sights, and plopped one right into the sandbagged location. The bad guys were taken out. HOWEVER…. on that roof was a large steel tower that happened to have some very key military communications and the… Read more »
