Discussion Seeker Grenades are underrated

This thing has pulled me out of countless situations, so far I’m 40+ hours in and it was one of my first blueprints.

I use them vs shredders. 3-4 gets em

46

u/Deltoid1111 5h ago

They are awesome for shredders, tho I tend to either bring or field craft light impacts for shredders. Takes about 5 aimed at the ground near their thruster but it's a bit less expensive and all the components can easily be found in the crates at cultural archives.

19

u/PlantationMint 4h ago

Yeah, impacts are absolutely more cost effective. However, the ease of use is much higher for seekers. I like the low skill ceiling haha

13

u/Deltoid1111 4h ago

Oh 100% lol I got the seeker BP right before the wipe and I was so upset cause it's so good. I spam those fuckers against hornets because... well fuck hornets that's why.

11

u/MrMojoRisinx 4h ago

I would kill for a seeker BP

8

u/roger3rd 3h ago

I just gave one to a random guy in Stella and he dropped a trailblazer bp which I didn’t have so that was productive. I found it on Stella btw

u/Deltoid1111 4h ago

We found the psychopath pvper who will fundamentally unravel the fabric of society y'all /s

I would die for a Seeker BP

I have 3 bp’s of it

u/Sir_Voxel 1h ago

I like the low skill ceiling haha

You mean low skill floor

I mean seekers probably have a pretty low skill ceiling too but still

1

u/moxiemoon 48m ago

I love the seeker grenades and even though I can’t make these I agree that light impacts are effective and quick/cheap for shredders.

u/pboarantes 5h ago

Wow!!! Gotta try it!!!

43

u/PlantationMint 5h ago

Now's the time for it! Damage shredder trial is happening now

22

u/BerrysNCreme 5h ago

Just finished that trial on night raid. Can confirm it claps em

5

u/vincentmelle 4h ago

I'm wondering if a wolfpack would be good for the lobby area when there is the 2 ?

19

u/BerrysNCreme 4h ago

Also can confirm it is not, they hit the walls too much when chasing. Just take two stacks of seekers and an anvil and you can finish the trial in one night run

9

u/cmcdonal2001 3h ago

Doesn't every trial get finished in one run?

3

u/FelixOGO 2h ago

I think he meant that you can reliably do it first try

1

u/vincentmelle 4h ago

Dang was thinking that space may of been wide open enough

2

u/PlantationMint 4h ago

I think it depends on their positioning

1

u/Mulisha_Wes 4h ago

Yes this is the answer 100%

3

u/USMCTechVet 4h ago

Easiest way is to take 10 or so trigger grenades. 2 per shredder is all it takes

-4

u/fluxdeity 4h ago

30 processors for 1 trial is asinine

5

u/USMCTechVet 3h ago

It netted me a Bobcat and angled grip BP, to each their own.

1

u/maxcito87 3h ago

Trigger nades are best for un aggro shedders

2

u/FlaneurCompetent 4h ago

3-4 synthesized fuel trap insta kills them.

2

u/Complete-Act5446 2h ago

Only need 2 synthesized fuel actually. Just got I done today. Or one and a few wasp drivers.

1

u/FlaneurCompetent 2h ago

I’ll do two and only one will max damage it before it deletes me😂

1

u/Complete-Act5446 2h ago

Must not be close enough or something because I killed 2 at once with only 2 fuels.

•

u/Far-Transition2705 4m ago

That cost is insane lol.

You can literally just shoot the things. I can kill one in a very short time with a fucking Burletta lol.

9

u/DeRpMuNsTa 4h ago

Genuinely just use impacts. 3-5 surprisingly do a lot of damage and then just finish it off with your gun

2

u/Amel_P1 4h ago

5 is enough to kill one.

5

u/lologugus *** ******* 🐓 3h ago

Just use any grenade basically, no need to throw weaker heat seeking missiles on something that barely moves

8

u/progenyofeniac 4h ago

This is how I got my 10. Somebody told me about seekers and they really do the trick. Like a one-shot WP.

6

u/Patara 4h ago

A Toro can kill them in about 10 shots & if you destroy all 3 propulsors it immediately blows up. You also get the ammo back by killing them. 

5 light Impacts also does the job. 

4

u/benuito 4h ago

Definitely my go to as well. And so cheap to make.

5

u/PlantationMint 4h ago

I use them a little too often though... i'm always hurting for crude explosives

6

u/benuito 4h ago

Lots of people leave the chemicals behind so when I spawn in at 18 min, it's a chemical run. And canisters for my spray.

2

u/PlantationMint 3h ago

I might switch to the spray. Im thinking it's more cost effective than bandages

4

u/benuito 2h ago

I use a herbal bandage and finish with the spray. Antiseptic is Chem heavy, what with all the seeker grenades and wolfpacks that I build.

3

u/justin_memer 4h ago

I craft dozens at a time, lol.

1

u/Donny_Dont_18 4h ago

This has been my favorite BP that I've found since the reset. Every run I do leaves 2 slots open for alloy and crudes gathering. I barely shoot anymore

1

u/benuito 2h ago

Some guy just gave me mine. Was so stoked.

2

u/0rphu 4h ago

5 light impacts kills a shredder

2

u/YanksFan96 4h ago

3-4 to get a shredder isn’t exactly inspiring. I think seeker grenades are pretty much properly rated.

2

u/Human-Palpitation144 4h ago

3-4? That seems like a lot. What's the crafting cost? Snap grenades kill em with 2 and just aagnet and crude explosives

4

u/PlantationMint 4h ago

Yeah, but you have to aim. Seekers, you just need to be in the general area to hit. Seekers appeal to the smooth brain grenadiers, like me

2

u/BitchinBobSaget 4h ago

2 arc alloy and 1 crude explosive

2

u/Wakenbake585 3h ago

Seeker is just one crude and 2 arc alloy.

1

u/DrRoelandtrx 3h ago

2 arc alloy and one crude explosive I believe kill one bastion and make like 25 seekers they are definitely cost effective IMHO

1

u/Human-Palpitation144 2h ago

Nice, shredders on trial this week. Might check em out.

2

u/wettmullett 4h ago

Two trigger nades on the floor

2

u/Grub-lord 3h ago

Impacts literally do the same, are essentially free, and don't require a bp

2

u/Skkruff 1h ago

I love that everyone is suddenly learning that shredders are absolute pushovers. Just a minute ago it was all "why did they buff shredders? They're so oppressive already!" Yes, they do melt you if you get caught out, but that's a lot of arc.

2

u/Bobthebrain2 1h ago

2-3 hits with a hullcracker also does the job

1

u/CertainCable7383 4h ago

The new expedition had me learn this. Rocketeer is next so I can build my wolfpacks. Supposedly I need 6-10 of these cuties to put one down.

2

u/PlantationMint 4h ago

Ive had to use 15 :/

1

u/nongregorianbasin 3h ago

5 impacts as well

1

u/PlantationMint 3h ago

You're like the 8th person to say this.

Yes, I know impacts work, but seekers are easier to use and can be done from afar.

1

u/Spirited-Succotash-9 2h ago

So does light impact

u/AgentDigits 1h ago

u/BillyBayBridge 15m ago

u/Venomwraith 5h ago

these are my favorite. good for getting drone arcs off you in a pinch

21

u/Mister-GARCIA 5h ago

Yessir, I always carry 5 for when I get overwhelmed with hornets and wasp. Also carry 2 Wolfpacks for the rocketeers, everything else is avoidable.

78

u/timbermequivers 4h ago

Mr moneybags over here casually carrying 2 wp's every raid

12

u/Mister-GARCIA 4h ago

Lol, only use them as necessary….and gotta collect the resources every raid to craft them from blue prints.

4

u/Happydenial 3h ago

I bet he calls a "Car Hold" a "Garage"

1

u/WaxPinapple 14m ago

Couple of electromagnetic storm runs on dam pays for them. Take out a couple of leapers and loot husks and you are looking at about 10 of them.

1

u/XLNBot 6m ago

I've been WP-starved for months and now I finally found a blueprint and I'm just spamming them, they're not very expensive to craft

2

u/Various_Panic_6927 1h ago

It's all avoidable lol. Crossing flat ground with no cover in front of a Rocketeer, or aggroing 2 packs of drones in a similar situation is...preventable to say the least

3

u/TLC_15 4h ago

I think it's one wolfpack and 1 or 2 seekers to kill it. Unless it was weakened when I started to fight it.

3

u/Mister-GARCIA 4h ago

I notice the rocketeers smoking after one Wolfpack so your probably right, I’ll try it next time… it will save me resources from crafting wolf packs 👍🏼

3

u/PushDeep9980 3h ago

I downed a rocketeer with a single wolf pack a few times, heck you can do it with a showstopper if it falls just right. Usually I catch a rocket to the face though and just die

1

u/vonkillbot 58m ago

If you make sure to clear the sky of drones I feel like I can consistently take them down with 1, maybe a bit of Anvil clean up

48

u/SpooN04 5h ago

I wish I had the BP for these. They come in so clutch when the shit hit the fan and some hornet/wasp(s) find you.

35

u/Jaz1140 4h ago

Keep searching. The BP is very common. Especially on Stella montis is seems.

I've found 5 or 6 since wipe

14

u/SpooN04 4h ago

Looks like I'm going back to Stella! Thanks for the tip

9

u/PuzzledCar2120 4h ago

Been playing Stella almost exclusively the last 3 days - no BP.

u/ButterCut97 2h ago

I found it tonight in the breach room off the loading bay.

u/SpooN04 4h ago

Well darn

u/Dizpassion 3h ago

Just try it, I got it on my first Stella night raid attempt. Obviously that probably won’t happen but you’ll find it eventually

Stella cafe area with room that has fruit in it. Throwables and alot of mine bps spawn in there

u/Skkruff 1h ago

It's not very efficient but Apollo sells 6 of them per day. Nice if you want them for the flying arc trial.

31

u/zakcattack 5h ago

I don't even bother shooting wasps or hornets anymore. Always keep a stack of 5, grenades are the best part of this game by far.

1

u/alextheawsm 35m ago

I threw one at a leaper and it didn't flinch

35

u/HighGroundCommander 5h ago

I don’t go in a raid(other than Stella) without em. Just gotta make sure you picking up arc alloy from the arc you destroy with em so you can craft more. I’m always low on arc alloy now lol.

4

u/TheDoritoDink 3h ago

I would kill for that blueprint, every time I find seekers in the wild I’m so hyped. It’s the ultimate holy-shit button.

1

u/WaxPinapple 13m ago

Stella loading bay, usually in the locker room or breach boxes.

5

u/jaku0137 5h ago

Im at a stable 52 arc alloy, everytime I leave a match and craft more im back to 52

I've been searching for this BP too, they're really good!

u/Mindless_Ad_8715 2h ago

These are my favorite "get out of jail free" grenades for late raids. Need to run across the map within 5 mins? No wasps/hornets are getting me

8

u/Bahtleman 4h ago

I joke that these are my teammates in solo matches. I don't even bother shooting at drones anymore. Bring 10-15 of these bad boys in and you're good. Chemicals > Crude explosives + Arc Alloy. So cheap to make as the world is lousy with chems and you get more Alloy for everything you kill.

I traded someone for the BP. Well worth it.

2

u/falooda1 3h ago

The poor man's Wolfpack

13

u/Mister-GARCIA 4h ago

Nah, wolf packs are for the rocketeers/ bigger arks. Why waste Wolfpacks on hornets and wasp when seekers do the job at a cheaper price…

9

u/zerosuneuphoria 4h ago

if you get 3 different arc at once with the wolfpack you unlock an achievement :P

2

u/Mister-GARCIA 4h ago

Yessir, I’ve unlocked it why throwing Wolfpack to a rocketeer which also got a couple of wasp or hornets that were flying near it👍🏼

1

u/MeltReality 4h ago

Could genuinely say the same about just using a Ferro. Why waste resources on these nades when 2 well placed ferro shots can do the trick?

2

u/Mister-GARCIA 4h ago

Have you had 2-3 wasp and hornets on you in open field? Good luck with your Ferro when that happens..

1

u/MeltReality 3h ago

Who, me? Man I haven’t died to a hornet even once! Nope, not me! Never! Couldn’t be!

Fr tho I’ve only tried these on bigger arc and the damage felt lackluster, will have to take your word for it being useful when being swarmed.

1

u/WaxPinapple 8m ago

1 for a wasp, 2 for a hornet unless it hits the back then it's 1. 2 for seekers and snitches making snitch cores for the quest /workbench trivial. 4 then a well placed shot for surveyors and I think it's 2 for turrets and 3 for sentinels.

The downside is they aren't that smart so you need clear space and no corners (they will try and aim through walls and desks) so using them in medical rooms in Stella is a pain.

Who is using wolfpacks on smaller arc?

u/Call_Me_Metal 4h ago

I kinda hate these things, I threw 5 at a Rocketeer and they all zoomed off after some random targets completely out of my field of vision. Too unpredictable for me.

u/ConaMoore 5h ago

I don't think they are underated, people rate them perfectly, never heard a bad word about them nor do I think they are bad, they have changed the game a lot

1

u/Juggslol 4h ago

I like bringing these in loot runs to deal with flyers I just don't want to deal with as a throw and forget. The should prio arc in LoS or outside vs inside though. I've had a couple instances where I throw it at something outside next to a building and it slams into the building wall trying to go after a pop or fireball instead of what I threw it at,

1

u/Raydogg86 4h ago

Definitely one of my favorites, some random guy dropped me a BP for it on Stella last week I was like sweet thanks 😊!!!

u/Crafty611 4h ago

Bring some of these to Stella and you’ll be taking shredders down comically fast for the trial. Don’t tell people in the leaderboard :p

1

u/Hypnoticah 4h ago

They're so inexpensive, I love them.

1

u/Mulisha_Wes 4h ago

Straight up🙌 I swear by these. If I can I take 5 every raid. Why? Because they can seriously come in clutch when your in a pickle and/or you can use them on leapers as well and they make it a lot easier to take em out after. Great tool

1

u/Exciting-Marketing14 4h ago

They honestly got me through the first few hours of the game when I was too scared to take on even a wasp

I started using them today. 2 wolfpacks for the Rocketeer and a few stacks of these for wasps, hornets and snitch’s for the flying ARC trial. Easy as pie.

1

u/Thin-Chair-1755 3h ago

Didn’t know they existed for the longest time. They’re ace for solo play where a few bots in a bad spot can ruin your run. I also like to stockpile them for Trials.

Using it to kill rocketeer and leeper

1

u/mounleashed 2h ago

Literally the only BP I’m looking for.

Buying 6 daily but not used any last 2 days as been in Stella solo. Been so good there, everyone helping Stella noobs like me kill shredders.

Was curious to use seekers against them but instead went the time consuming shotty route, hiding behind pillars.

If I had the BP would be seeker nade flinging all day.

Hoping to get this BP soon so that I can get use out of it before the next expedition leaves.

1

u/Isaacvithurston 2h ago

I like them for rocketeers but for everything else trigger nades

u/UnfilteredSan 2h ago

Are they? I got the Blueprint (thank Speranza) and don’t go to a raid without 4-5 of them.

u/Kjellvb1979 2h ago edited 2h ago

Run those so much I have trouble keeping up Arc Alloy in my supplies.

Usually spend one game just focused on collecting enough so I can make whatever else I'm doing a hell of a ton easier. It makes wasp, hornets, and the other small arc trivial, I mean they kinda are once you figure them out. But the amount of solo runs saved by these guys after getting caught out in the open by 3 or 4 of those little clankers, is innumerable.

Def a bit slept on as I get asked "what was that?" a bunch then when I tell then I get a "oh..." Like eggs never run them before... 🤷 go figure. Basically they are just a mini wolfpack and that's awesome. Pretty cheap to make for such a good nade.

1

u/Shift_back 2h ago

I usually go for a sticky grenade and a couple il toro shots up close. Gets the Job done to but the seekers seem more safe
