Kaboom isn't the best at clearing rooms or defeating bosses but it is certainly one of the weapons you can pick up. In all seriousness great run

Kaboom is is probably an absolute beast of a weapon with the appropriate explosive perks. Really makes me wish this game had some form of endless gamemode so you could grind out a level 45 build and have all the perks, thus being able to make useless weapons potentially really niche and fun

I did a Kaboom Grenade run a few days ago. It was a lot of fun but I had to use a different weapon for Sir Catercoaster.

New to the channel but just wanted to say I really enjoy the mix of live stream commentary with the voice-over commentary. Something I don’t see a whole lot of but wish I did. Great work 👍

They had to be memeing when they made this weapon there no way it this bad😂

First video of yours ive seen and i absolutely loved it! Banger of a video loved the commentary of what was going through your head and how to improve and its a long video which ive come to find out i love longer videos. Keep making ahit like this man!

You are an absolute madman. You have to do a kaboom granade run with commando or something like that tho, i want to see if (with the proper perks) it can have any sort of potential and im way too bad at the game to figure this out myself.

I'm looking for some roboquest stuff. Loving the game. I think you would do really well with some guides, rankings videos, etc. Keep up the great videos. :)

You should try a run where you don't shoot your guns and only use abilities like as Elementalist, Recon or Ranger. With the right cooldown perk setup and holding a weapon that boosts them those are pretty fun. To the point when I was doing them I remapped my controls to have abilities on LMB/RMB.

Haderaxe, you are a KING AMONGST MEN and a LEGEND for this one. Congrats dude that was a well earned W! 👏

I was at the edge of my seat watching this! Great job dude!

Love your videos keep the great work :)

For anyone wondering, the reason that glitch happens is he throws it and then uses blink. For whatever reason, the trueshot glimmer hates when you blink during the throw animation.

I love the kaboom granade! It’s so fun to explosion jump around the map and act like a bomber plane.

A great way to make this weapon better is just to make it explode on contact. Maybe make it so that the explosion is smaller on direct but significantly larger when it bounces on walls or the ground

the movement against lasers in iris fight was insane bro

I usually like to toss a few grenades at the beginning of a combat zone to clear most enemies. The explosion radius is very big and it has a very high base damage, so it is useful in clearing out small bots and turrets, which makes it a good side weapon. But I would never use this as my main damage source because the detonation delay makes it ipossible to hit a moving target. This grenade needs a prime function or simply detonates on direct enemy hits.

I've seen the kunai video, and wanted to know is that the most broken OP build in the game, or is there another? I know a lot of people say engineer with buddy bot is. If its not kunai, would you be willing to make a video on what you believe is the most broken/OP build in the game is?

"The Wonka bar you skip is the one that pays out" is the first thing that popped in my head when i saw it xD Great run tho was excited to see a weapon i like but know is kinda garbage make it all the way through the game

Subscribed just cus of 27:03 Also i got this game just cus ur videos and i might start making content on it aswell. We will see

Man I can't wait to get the jetpack, it seems like it makes many of the sections of the game a LOT easier.

I'm pretty sure every new player who finds one had a moment like in the beginning where they try to direct hit an enemy several times

Bro I know this was a pre-recorded video but as soon as I saw you grab this thing I asked you to please dont grab that Update: finished the video. This man can't be stopped.

kaboom grenade is pretty amazing honestly, it's definitely a ground weapon that is entirely meant for killing bigger groups of enemies way better than rocket launchers can but yeah it struggles against bosses or flying enemies

As someone who had beaten the game twice on G4 with the Kaboom grenade (and some if my best clear and boss time), i can tell that its an insanne weapon even without all the good explosive perks ! You only need to know how to use it for this weapon to shine... its the only downside (lets not talk about flying enemies bc no matter what class you choosed you always have an ability to deal with them). Btw did you know that you can ride the rail where the railbot spawn to instant kill it

Kaboom Grenade is really fun on Commando as long as you don’t get flying bosses but you can cheese them

As an appropriately applied side arm, that shit absolutely slaps

I'd only ever use this in a weird engineer build where the bots are doing most of the lifting alongside sentry guns. Even then they'll all probably outperform you and the grenade.

If this could stick to enemies this could be a genuine beast on commando

It’s kinda interesting to hear all the dislike towards the Kaboom Grenade, even though I personally adore it It was especially good in early game to toss around corners before fully engaging in a fight, to whittle down the enemies from a safe distance, and it’s INCREDIBLY satisfying to pull off a perfect “Grenade Boost” as I’ve called it, by throwing it gently at a downward angle and getting ahead of it, then jumping. It’s a really fun pre-midgame movement tech if you can get the hang of it, and might even have some potential for new game speedruns

My first ever legendary weapon I got when I first started playing the game was a kaboom grenade and I didn’t really understand how the weapon rarities worked so I assumed that the kaboom grenade was like the best weapon in the game because it was a legendary weapon. It came with rocket jump and it was still horrible

Do you have any tips for the higher difficulties?

Sad I missed the last run live. Video is a banger tho!

I did an explosives perks run on commando with the Kaboom Grenade and it was kinda crazy. Got really lucky with plenty of radius increases, baby boom, etc. and was able to fly through rooms. Single target kinda sucked though...

Absolutely insane, and to S-rank it to? Gratz!

Best. Run. Ever

Man i could barely even stand using kaboom grenade enough to unlock its card, i dont even want to imagine ever trying a full run with one.

,,how do I hit them " it's my reaction every time I pick this weapon too. I'm so glad I can see what you are going to do with this xD

Not picking up jigsaw box was a miss play. It’s just a 10% damage boost because the downside only applies when you reload, something that you can’t do with the kaboom grenade.

my first weapon card was actually from kaboom grenade, i found it a good weapon for ground enemies.

I'm not sure what's worse, you doing this or me willingly watching you do it

Kaboom grenade is definitely underrated, if there’s a high density of ground enemies it’s so good because you can peek in and out of cover and kill everything

My favorite weapon, Slandered.

Note to self: kaboom grenade is a punishment sent by God through the devs

I’ve only played the demo but I challenged myself to beat it with zero synergising (if that’s even a word) perks, no ability usage, and a grey kaboom only. It was fun but I’m sure if I had to go to any of the other areas it would have sucked

fucking insane what the hell huge GGs

The one stat that ruins this is no explosion on direct hit. The long fuse time and awkward aiming are also pretty bad, but if you had explodes on direct hit then it wouldn’t be direct shit

you should do a video on melee only with laser cutlass recon

i feel like it would be perfectly viable if it just stuck to enemies when it hits, or let you cook it so you can hit enemies close to you

that was very good 👏👏👏

Poor Kaboom Grenade, it's a pretty decent weapon with annoying drawbacks, it doesn't have to explode on contact but even if it rebounded on collision it would make it far better, at least then you'd be able to adjust your positioning and such.

How about you try a guardian 4 melee run next. Any melee would be cool to see cause melee is pretty hard to use

I like the kaboom grenade :( its fun to hot swap back to the grenade and my main weapon

I feel like if Kaboom exploded on direct hit, it would actually be kind of a fun and unique weapon.

Time for melee

Ok now i know that it's a 3 sec delay before the nade explodes maybe the engie or guardian would fair better for the next one or elementalist so u get some spicy damage

challenge idea: beat the game on guardian 4 with no upgrades.

If i were to change the kaboom granades i would 1. Let it direct impact. The fact it can't is sooooooo bad. Like, this one change would make the weapon kinda fun. 2. I personally can't tell the difference between holding the attack down and just tossing it. If there is one, it doesn't matter, so, why not let the player just keep on tossing? Change holding down from a charge up to just constant grenades? If these 2 changes were made, im certain this weapon would be fine.

it is actually a good weapon if your good at it

Hear me out the grenade is trash but the power gloves are totally horrible. If you could I would love to see a run with power gloves I've only been able to beat G3 and not G4 with them only as iris tends to kill me on 2nd stage l. Also if you do try I recommend guardian as the boss is nearly impossible without the Sheild to get close to and do enough damage

I just can't believe this thing isn't an impact or sticky grenade. at the very least we should be able to cook the grenade so it can explode in the air! someone at RyseUp is trolling with this one.

15:50 i'm under the table... :DDD definitely lol. and 28:00

How do you keep you momentum when you exit purple room?

I'd love to try this game, unfortunately I play on PS :/

Why is Ur start HP is 180? U have earn perk in workshop for +40 and still have 180. When the defaul hp is 200?

Only thing that would have made this better is if they put self damage on the grenades.

Yeah recon kaboom run is the worst thing you can possibly do to yourself except for a level 1 starter weapon only no gold.

In kunaj only run you prove how good this weapon is In kaboom grenade run you prove how terrible this weapon is

Short answer you used it wrong but you definitely already knew that based on the commentary. But man nitro fragments megaboom and baby boom and using them to stack up rocket jumps, so then you spend most of the time soaring above everything dropping death upon the world can be fun as hell.

This was rough to watch!

You know I feel the kaboom wouldn't be as bad if you detonate it

how is he able to fly?

So wait, wait, what you saying is kaboom is just marginally worse than kunai?! Makes sense with all the data! - bot weapons give full S rank! Kaboom even with non ideal class! ;) /s What about flare gun only run? :D

if only they gave kaboom direct impact it would be a bit better

I’ve had the legendary kaboom… I hated it.

Only thing the grenade is good for is movement 💀 titan fall gauntlet type shi

You deserve more subs than you got

Run climaxes at 57:29

Why it’s not stinky? It just screams it should be stinky

Honestly, I thought you were going to use commando for this and not recon. I’ve done my own testing and commando SHREDS entire rooms by spamming this thing. So yeah. Kaboom grenade is no longer the worst weapon in my eyes.

😂

honestly shovel run might be worse never mind

guardian 4 yet doesnt know u can insta kill the bots on the rail by riding it

Sold your soul and your fun for chat... anything for chat

Kaboom nade is based bruh you’re just bad
