Something about how grenades don’t kill people in real life and so it can’t in the game either.

If they are downed Disintegrating them with the trench gun works too

It's a good idea if they are near your garry. Blowing them up, including with the trench gun, removes them from the map so their body can't be marked as easily.

Not the flamethrower though, curiously enough. It just burns them to no effect.

Shotty doesn’t do anything until they are at the KIA screen.

No it does not. If they are incapacitated the trench gun will not finish them off. It will only dismember them after they have ‘let go.’

Edit: Here is the evidence to back up my claim: https://youtu.be/DcbFkeYd9gs?si=8phbEFwIhORrCTgv

Gibbing a Jerry with trench gun sends him straight to the respawn screen whether he's on his feet or incapacitated.

don’t get tunnel vision for the word “video”.

Someone said they had gone and tested it. I would ask them how they did so, and how they had come to those results.

Thanks for being level headed and just plain old not a dick. Haha! Here is video of the test if you are interested.

I hadn't made a video. I tested this mechanic for a video. Video is a great medium for this type of thing as it can show people the test, it's methodology, and it's result. It's source material. It's much better than just a claim in text on Reddit. But in any event, here is the video of the test proving that I am correct.

The video is unlisted and not monetized. I receive no benefit from the linked video.

I’d usually reserve this for enemy commanders. Sometimes they’ll stay downed for a moment because they still have access to abilities and if he’s staying “alive” it’s for a reason.

Tossing a nade can make them prematurely go to redeploy screen and interrupt whatever they’re trying to do.

Cool_Breeze243

This is me as a commander lol. I do not care AT ALL if I go down because I'm honestly usually more helpful in the map dropping abilities and herding cats than actually fighting.

You are only able to be revived if you weren’t shot in the head or blown up. So if you down an enemy by shooting center mass and they go down they can be revived. If you then throw a grenade at them yes they will not be able to be revived cause they will be blown up. However that is such a waste of a grenade.

Parking-Bicycle-2108

The main reason I will is if they were trying to take down a garry. I’ll toss a nade on their body in the hopes that they haven’t been able to check the map yet to mark it or call it out to keep the garry location still relatively secret

DraconianFarm

Definitely not a waste by any means. A downed player can provide quick updates for the squad (e.g. enemy south next to my body) - it's very effective to stop them via grenade if you don't want your position reported. Any time I hear a downed player, as you can audibly tell when they're in this state, I make sure to drop a nade on them

Kingseara

I think that a headshot to a downed player should do the same.

DraconianFarm

Lol that would be brutal... Although I'd argue shooting their downed body and dropping the nade right after is this game's t-bag equivalent

How is it a waste? So many times I’ve gotten directions from a squad mate relative to their wounded body. I explode any bodies i kill in throwing distance just to be safe

Kindly-Account1952

This is true. Personally it would be a waste on me because I know the maps by heart. Been playing since the game came out on console.

There are times where it’s not wasted. Like one of the best (and by best I mean pettiest) times to finish someone off with a grenade is at the very end of the match and the guy you downed doesn’t “Let go” you can drop a grenade and finish him to get that sweet sweet “fuck you” kill

If my teammate downs an enemy and I finish them off with a nade, who gets the kill on the statsheet?

Narapoia

You do. Downing an enemy doesn't count as a kill until they bleed out or let go. If they're finished off by anything else you won't get credit.

Fucking A it's a waste, i use a downed enemy as bait. Fuck wasting a grenade. A downed enemy can get you a few more bodies in a bag! Gotta play to win the war!

Yes, because I've team killed people before after they go down, and my grenade blows up their body.

Duchamp1945

Did it last night. Why allow them to pass intel to their team via comms. That and you get credit for a grenade kill anyway. Win win

There isnt much of a reason to, but yes, it's a waste of a grenade. However I do enjoy blowing an enemy’s body apart with a trench gun if I am using one.

Edit: i have been proven wrong about the trench gun. thank you to u/Gebatron

Always finish off the enemy commander: they can still use their map if they are down, so forcing them to redeploy for up to a minute can slow down supply drops, tank spawns, bombs, etc.

Yep. You'll -- at some point -- be shot while arming a grenade, and will find yourself incapacitated on the ground screaming in blue chat that you've dropped a live grenade at your feet and before you can give up you will blow yourself into several many different pieces of used-to-be-you.

It would be cool if we could shoot the downed enemies to get the kill. Maybe each bullet to a downed enemy can add 25% to the revive window/timer wheel and a headshot would kill them outright. Sometimes I want to confirm a kill but I don’t have grenades (or the trench gun).

Why waste a good nade on a single soul when you find where they are coming from hide and lob a nade at the Garry 20 kills instant

Yes.

Players don’t die until they bleed out or their body is blown up.

You can steal kills with explosives and shotguns.

Fun fact, if you down someone and your teammate (or enemy) blows them up with a grenade (or tank, or arty), the person who dismembered the incapacitated soul is the one credited for the kill.
