Trip Mines

Not even close IMO. Add to that they're bugged as well.

Heck I would say they're not even his best ability. Shield boost is better. Cloak, AF, invasion, turbocharge, sticky nades and shield boost are all pretty great powers.

Cain mines screw up if you have more than one person using them. Active cap is always the person with the highest charge number. Any more mines are placed after that even if it's another player and yours become inactive.

They do shit loads of work on firebase zero and that's a fact.

Worst grenade? No, sir...

I have the best results aiming them at the floor in high density areas and watching the kill feed spam. They have such a better detonation proximity than the mines in me3.

You're really gonna say either Stickies or Frags are worse? Just the ability to place those grenades optimally in crowds without them having to 'arm' makes them better in my opinion. I don't know which one does the most damage of the three.. but I know it took two or more Trip Mines to kill all but the most basic enemies. I've seen a Krogan go through 4 of them and come out with more than half his health.

I've put in my time with the Angaran.. he's one of only 3 kits I have at level 20. He's solid.. but I agree with Nuke that Shield Boost is his best power.

Wow.. you're right. I did. Is that a grenade though? I know it uses Power Cells.. but it doesn't feel like a grenade. It feels like a really shitty version of ME3 Concussive Shot.

If that's the case I vote for Barrier as best grenade.

Honestly, if you can get like a 8 cell cap, you can place 4 mines in 2 spawn points and pretty much wipeout half the spawn budget.
I can get 28k+ points with just the mines alone.

You know you can shoot trip mines on the feet of the enemies and they explode immediately. Oh, apparently you don't 

i'm in the trip mine camp here, but a lot of it does come down to personal preference. the trip mine has a much higher base damage (1350) than both frag (1000) and sticky (1100). all three have 15% damage evos for rank 3, but trip mine's rank 3 includes a force buff (15%) where frag and sticky do not. frag and sticky have damage evos in rank 4 (20%), while trip mine's damage evo is in rank 5 (30%) and also includes a force buff (30%). this translates to something like ~500 more damage from trip over stickies and frag.

trip mine also has a significant radius advantage (8m) over sticky (4m) and frag grenades (5m). that advantage is balanced by trip mine's variable damage. dealing gradually less as you get to the outer edges of its blast radius. conversely, frags and stickies deal full damage to all affected targets. however, that crazy radius advantage is made even more crazy by...

EMP rank 6 evo. on demand ~2k damage and a 8m radius stun. crazy.

so yeah if you have more than one insurgent on the team, they'll be fighting over randomly exploding shitty mines. i'm not sure if that's a bug, or if it's designed that way.

however, trip mines (when used as a grenade) have to be placed at the target's feet, and also have to be tripped. this doesn't always happen. sensor range makes it much easier, but you still run into situations where you throw a trip mine down, and 2 dogs and a raider just walk right past it. frag grenades are capable of hitting pretty much anything with its ability to bounce, and also cook (cooking a grenade and airbursting it in a sharpshooter's face on the roof above you is very satisfying). stickies you can do some funky stuff with tac cloak damage buff.

I get better results with trip mines than stickies/frags.

Personal preference I suppose, but they are without a doubt extremely strong.

That firebase zero sniper alley is such a great mine field.

Trust me they're bugged. If you have a teammate with them you'll notice your mines exploding when he sets his. The game recognizes the active cap as the highest charge capacity.
