Grenades are apparently skaggy snacksā€¦

I have never seen that in all my time playing, it may be because Iā€™m a Zane main and I usually donā€™t even pay attention to what the drone drops out. My nephew and I just started a couple fresh characters so Iā€™ll be on the lookout from now on.

Good find Iā€™ve Never seen This after 8+ charactersā€¦

Itā€™s one of their ā€œattacksā€ - theyā€™ll play fetch with the grenade, and come running back at you with it while the fuse is still ticking. In your video, you kill it before it came running back at you). I think only certain Skag types do it though (and I think Iā€™ve seen them do it with a Tediore reload, but I might be thinking of those Psychos with the baseball bats).

Nope, Psycho can baseball any delivery (not sure about Hyperion).

And iirc, skags can catch Hyperion grenades.

Posted some similar shots a few weeks back. Not only will Skags catch a grenade, theyā€™ll also play fetch with it.

Hereā€™s a link to the video of the skag returning the grenade: https://gamerdvr.com/gamer/alkymist96/video/141949286

Probably been too long for me to remember. My grenades are cloning hunter seekers. So they arenā€™t quite there for them to chase. But explode from the grenade shots, yes.

I donā€™t think itā€™s guaranteed, but definitely a normal behavior. Iā€™ve only seen it a few times, maybe half a dozen or so, in all my playthroughs. Its really cool though. Just one of those great improvements over previous games, which are easily missed and overshadowed by other issues. But when you see it, itā€™s great.
