Some People Hate Explosive Launchers in Battlefield 2042

- The SPH Explosive Launcher aka shooting sticky explosive loads onto people in Battlefield 2042, the alternative title :P As requested a video on the new SPH grenade launcher gadget included in Season 4. The Assault Class only gadget "fires Smart Piercing Hook (SPH) explosives - “sticky” projectiles".
DICE's view of what the SPH brings to the Assault Class, "that it will bring even more depth to the Assault Class". I disagree with that view, it's a grenade launcher, not a smoke grenade launcher, it's an explosive grenade that sticks to things with a pretty generous kill radius. Feels like BF1 all over again with giving way too many explosives to the Assault Class and it's use is pretty specific or not something you'd really use on armor or aircraft.
For those who think this is for breaking walls what are 40mm grenade launchers for? Assault class would likely have them on their ARs since they would probably be running ARs because of the Assault Class proficiency. Knocking down walls with grenade launchers attached to ARs was something they've wanted players to do since Bad Company 1. Or in BF2042's case use C5 to knock down walls or is this now seen as a waste because of how many C5 it takes to blow up a vehicle and how much you can carry along with how long it takes to fully resupply your C5? In which case shouldn't that be addressed instead of adding another cheese gadget that already exists in a different form ( crossbow explosive bolts ).
If it wasn't clear I was mainly going around with SPH gadget as a primary weapon and trying to avoid using my actual primary or secondary weapons because otherwise using everything as you normally would makes the Assault Class feel way too strong.
For those unusual examples starting around 14:04 I wonder if there is a bug where you can you avoid the damage by crouching or going prone? Or is it similar to the throwing knife where it's a fake register on my client and the server says "NO". We haven't spent any time testing so just throwing out random possible reasons since I can't explain why those players didn't die since according to DICE they should have.
Dozer and Zain benefit in their own ways using this gadget. I tried to avoid playing as Dozer because I felt like I'd create bad habits using him.
Also wow are there a lot of bugs in the Season 4 update. I mean yeah some of them are just returning bugs or ones that were patched previously but still what is going on with DICE's source control. Is this just a mix up with Ripple Effect ( DICE LA ) not using the same source as DICE Sweden?

Love how Zane can use that and his class gadget, but Liz can't have 2 rpgs equipped.
Can add one more under barrel.
Give him a scar and he can put down so many explosives lol. Same with Sundance
That Lis nerf sucks
@@BeyondtheIights it really does, they had her pretty balanced, and now they've made her almost useless imo.
Liz caught a nerf?
A gadget that performs better than some actual weapons in the game
What do you mean by some,on Playstation anything else than LMG’s is total trash,i have every weapon in game T1,there is nothing like LMGs this game is BF1 over again ,everyone is using LMG with fucking thermal optic
@@popegramzz479 sounds like a skill issue. The new smg has quicker TTK than the new LMG
@@anthonyosorio212
Yes but does it have a faster ttk then every other lmg
@@anthonyosorio212 ohh sorry my 38.73KD seems like skill issue 🙃
@@popegramzz479 trying to say your better with KD in battlefield is a skill issue
Ah, nothing like portable artillery
I have been having so much fun with the launcher. It's super annoying to die to, and super satisfying to get multi-kills with.
Yeah that usually means it shouldn't be in the game :P
@@Ravic na, wrong opinion. more fun things plz.
@Goob Normally thrown grenades you can run away from, you can even interact with them so your character throws or pushes them away from you. A grenade or explosive that sticks to you and you can't do anything about can be annoying or frustrating to play against, there is a difference. Add to that its absurd blast radius, faster arming or time to explode vs a grenade and it being less noticeable compared to a grenade on the ground and it feels like there was no thought put into the gadget other than lets make Assault Class more broken.
@@Ravicbased takes as always
@@Ravic Agree, even the crossbow with explosive ammo is a fair weapon to me since it takes practice and time to unlock the ammo, but the explosive SPH is freaking joke, too OP and in most cases, where you aim is where it lands, so it's too much.
last night was quite frustrating because at least 5 people from the enemy team were using it in TDM, there's no escaping it, it'll kill you in one hit.
Nothing worse than dealing with a STICKY situation!
You sir are a menace to any server you join.... and I love it!!! Keep up the entertaining shenanigans!!
And lastly... 17:38 squad goals.
This thing has the best THOMP sound
This thing is so objectively broken and untested, I just don’t understand how Dice keep managing to do this with nearly every DLC weapon and vehicle. It’s literally a free 4 kills anywhere near infantry, every single life.
Granted, it’s fun to use. Who could have guessed it would be fun when it’s this broken haha
They do the same shit in cod
I like that they actually took the time to add reactions from the specialists when they get stuck!
The title should have been: "Ravic being mad disrespectful for 21 minutes" lmaooo
Oh boy, we are ready for the All-chat!
I can guarantee DICE is going to nerf that... But it looks like so much fun to use.
watch it be just 1 shot no stickie and u need a ammo crate to reload it
i bet you right, i think they gonna make it 2 hit kill or that it cant stick on people/objects anymore
@@Greg00020 nah i think they nerf the range of it or just 1 shot per tube
Anything that reaches snipers always gets nerfed.
I love how the character screams when they get tagged with a direct hit haha. Such a good detail.
That giggle at 5:25 is one of the most wholesome things I've heard in years.
The SPH is the new best humiliation kill for when you sneak up on a camping sniper.
Get close stick the grenade to them and make them spend the last milliseconds of their life while teabagging in their view.
PS: Oh you did that more or less at 4:36
don't be fooled, ravic makes anything he uses look OP
Nothing like having a scar or ak with a launcher on it, this thing and zain with his gadget. The only thing that can kill me is my own splash damage.
ah yes, every update more explosives devices being added
My main problem with it is the seemingly massive OHK radius it has. I see the visual warning of it stuck to a nearby wall, think "I'm far enough away it'll only do a little damage" and then get oneshot by it.
Yup, I don't think I've been able to get outside of the kill radius a single time even when I'm someone expecting the explosive to land nearby. Although some of that could be from desync or lag but the activation time is probably too fast to the point that I'm not sure why they even bothered. My guess is it was a way for them to make it seem like it wasn't just another 40mm grenade launcher you can get as an under barrel attachment for most guns.
The screaming when they get stuck is the best part
Players have hated launchers since launchers existed in games.
Musick: "we can't keep getting away with this"
Narrator: "They continued to get away with this."
looks like its a more powerful version of the explosive tip crossbow
So we just gonna ignore that Dozer transition? I had to watch it like 3 times
Zane with this thing, sfar and a granade.... sounds like a veeeery fun meta..... bf1 vibes...
“You guys remember all that cover we added to each map? Yeah, we’re taking that back.”
Pocket explosive crossbow! Except better in every way sans ammo count. Lets see, 4 rounds with the SPH, 9 assorted with an underslung launcher on an AR and 10 airbursts. Oh, and the grenade. That's more explosive firepower then half the vehicles in the game.
Its 3 on underbarrel now. They share ammo pools.
@@Leach-ez7dq They don't; at least, not the AoW UBGLs
😂the crossbow explosion sucks u have to stick them with an already slow floating arrow 😂
Sundance screaming at 5:32 was awesome and scary at the same time!!
I felt bad for her🥺
Tbh this gadget is the most op broken weapon in the game. One shot of this and you know your fucked. Like the launcher you hit someone on the side doesn’t kill them but with this instant kill
My guys fucking with psychological warfare. The transition at 0:57 it's not even fair. I feel violated. I even went back to actively watch something else and STILL MISSED THE ABSOLUTELY PERFECT TRANSITION!
I just realized you can fire it twice before reloading. This changes everything!
I really appreciate your comms with Mus1ck in these videos.
That looks like ghostmaker with better fire rate and damage
Are the ever gonna buff ghostmaker?😢😢
I doubt it with velocity being ass on console
The airburst was already a mistake by dice, this, this thing is just taking the piss. I gotta admit it tho, it's fun for all the wrong reasons
The stick but no damage seems to happen with explosive bolts on the crossbow at the minute too, I've been trying to get it T1 this week and it has been making a bad gun worse
Good to know. So you think it's a recent change or returning bug from Season 4's update?
@@Ravic What it looked like to me is the hit box is sometimes larger than it should be, the instance at 14:40 for example hes hit but goes immediatly behind pipes, the explosive is stuck infront of his actual body and is blocked by the pipe. You can see this happen at the Boris 2 minutes in.
This is my best guess though, I dont think it happens 100% of the time but i havent really tested it myself.
@@Ravic Idunno if it's true, but I notice even if you get stuck with it (specifically this launcher), if you get within range of an Irish' APS, it blows up the explosive and doesn't kill you.
@3:37 "no-one dies on my watch" lul
Jeez.. DICE please just remove Blasco's sound affect that comes from her equipment until you can properly implement it. Don't just leave it broken.
I really miss the M320 from BF4, I was surgical with that bad boy. One of the best counter sniper weapons in the game.
So pumped for chat reactions!
In a game with no all chat?
@@happyspanners They are bringing back all chat.
@@LitleBear oh god, I missed that. Sorry for being snarky! I can’t wait now.
@@happyspanners All good dude
(S)ome (P)eople (H)ate Explosive Launchers in Battlefield 2042... in case anyone missed that.
imo it would be cooler if it were like the 3GL from Bf4 (aka a grenade launcher with 3 shots), but lower the damage for each shot by a bunch. That way it would actually be worth using to destroy walls more
Id rather deal with this than mortars thank you dice for not adding a mortar 🙏
Lol I was just saying to a friend I bet they add a mortar in s5
The squeaky sound it makes when sticking to them 😂
Some people love explosive launchers in BF2042. Maybe Dice can implement a counter by swatting the grenade away but still take damage like the frags. More of these vids please. Its the best way to troll the campers and such.
Aw hell, Ravic has a "New" toy to troll with😂😂😂 there's going to be a lot of salt now
I like how he's running all three extreme OP weapons. The glock is ridiculous, it just melts people
i don't hate them. i only loathe them if they are poorly balanced. like this one. it does what the crossbow does but with double barrel (effectively not literally), less bullet drop and more projectile speed. + as a gadget not a main weapon. less risk more reward. it is plain bad design.
You guys had me cracking up with "BANANA". Thanks, Rav.
Bingo feels like it would've made for a better stick safe word. It is very fun to yell, and won't get you in trouble with the neighbors if you yell it when the windows are open.
Banana's are okay, I guess.
And the sticky launcher probably shouldn't have gone to the only class with access to a wingsuit. Basically begging the fanbase to convert themselves into flying human bombers.
oh it get it "Some People Hate" "SPH"...
Transitions were clean, reminds me of the first time I saw a transition like that, macyj sledgehammer transition
Please do a vid with you guys running this and the explosive tip crossbow..... I can't think of anything more sadistically fun
i think DICE has also added sound efx to multi kills? dont remember sound efx b4 for a double kill, sounding like an 80's video game/chime sorta. now try a 5 kill. like c5 or a grenade on a grouping of kills. the sound efx corresponds to the number of kills and climbs in a comical way, like an 80's video game.
Yeah, it was added on the last season iirc
Honestly sounds satisfying
Those who survive a long time on the battlefield start to think they're invincible.
I bet you do too, Buddy.
Im still new to the game and when I get stuck with this thing I always panic and get more people killed in the process. It's hilarious and effective.
Dude I used the launcher after watching your video and I am a little above average and was able to get quite a few direct hits and multi kills (25 kills in 3 matches). It is a fun gadget for sure. They (DICE) were smart to give assault a small amount of ammo for it lol.
It should probably suffer from accuracy penalties at range, and give a longer window for players to either escape their vehicle or run, kamikaze style, into the petson who fired it. And maybe it shouldnt have more ammo than you have grenades lol. Or maybe it should be in the throwables slot somehow?
I love it when you stick someone and they run back to their squad
There’s no escape from the sticky cannon!
21 minutes of greatness, 2042 is ass but Rav and the gang make it fun.
When was the last time you played?
@@faded1887 doesn't matter when it's still ass.
@@faded1887 Couple of weeks ago
@@THENikoBellic it’s been good for awhile what makes you say it’s ass? 🤔
@@Amoogus how’s it ass then? and no “it was a wreck at launch BS” cuz all those bugs have been loooong patched
You found your title for these vids, a sticky situation fits nice
I mean i wouldnt say its op. However, zane and sundance shouldn't have access to it since they already have explosive launchers with there kits. Kinda like how Lis doesn't have access to other anti vehicle launchers. Not sure why the devs felt like this was ok.......its obviously not
See, this is actually a buff to Irish.
Encourages ppl to place some damn sentinels
As an assault player , this thing performs very taking down sniper / recon class players from medium distance. U just need to aim body and forget next. Tip : 2 click for sure.
This thing is awesome
20:40 I see Rav enjoys doggos
5:26 most sane ravic laugh
10:19 stonemountain could never 😂
Ya almost hit a jet with it would love to see a clip of someone hitting a jet
Did you notice a change in the soldier's movement and ADS speed? Sometimes it feels like it gets sluggish or maybe I play Mckay too much.
when i started to play mckay i couldnt play any other specialist after=D
I avoided playing Mackay since the beta because of his ADS bonuses, mainly because of the bad habits caused by it. I've noticed third person changes to ADS strafing that appear broken or desynced which makes hitreg worse but I guess that is the norm for recent Battlefield games. Make the movements too over the top or too much for the current game engine to handle correctly on a broad range of hardware.
BF devs should watch Ravics vids to quickly see what the OP weapons/mechanics are. If Ravic is using it to dominate a lobby, it’s probably OP. It’s a good thing. Not being neg. Ravic is a really good player that uses the tools provided.
Ur accuracy is nuts
that never gets old
Dice "don't make Assault OP" challenge: impossible
Super interested in your setup, you have some unusual key bindings.
every time i think ive seen the stupidest thing in this game they amaze me yet again
I feel like current DICE team knows almost nothing about good balanced gameplay and they are just adding weapons that feels "fun to use"
Any remember in 2142 the gun Pilum anti material weapon ? used that sniper rifle
"i did not like that stick on exposure"
Your feedback has been submitted. Thank you for playing
Ravic you are my hero for putting me onto the GVT. Endless joy from that. However this is complete trash play. Running around with the rail gun and the explosive launcher? You’re better than this. Don’t be a cornball.
It was requested, I only have to make one video on it, calm down.
Funnily enough, you not using that on them will absolutely not save them from you
Has this game improved since launch because I heard it was terrible but it looks pretty fun watching you play it but it could just be because it’s LORD RAVIC playing?
i just use this grenade launcher since getting it, i always get huge pack kills, never a game below 50 kills
13:33 mus1CK impostor in the kill feed XD
I'm one of those that HATE it! No skills necessary!! Another cheez just like LIS with the guided missile! THIS GAME WAS A CHEEZ FROM THE START!!! Can't wait for the next BF!
Funny stuff... I think it's a hilariously fun weapon. But I do think they should add a mechanic that gives you an instant to throw it back... then even more hilarity can ensue!
No
@@usernotfound1852 Yes, atleast if you're stuck from the front and side.
No it's a sticky launcher so that's dumb
@@kaufmanriggin So you just don't like sticky explosives?
@@dripfoe_3307 wth I love the launcher I hope they never patch it
Can't wait to unlock this. Assault class deserves it, DICE they took our recoilless away from us !!! 🤬🤣
hahahahahaha 0:28 Rav gets a quad kill
"uh neat"
DICE introduce a final specialist to balance all the ways to be spotted while during the same update, introducing a sticky one shot kill that requires no skill. It shouldn't be nerfed. It should be removed. This almost seems to confirm they intentionally introduce OP weapons to bring people in with the plan to nerf after a while.
It’s a gadget my guy, the blast radius should be tuned and the new specialist is the most balanced one so far 💀
2 shots in one 40mm
I love the gls in 2042 and I certainly like this one but it may need a nerf, but that would imply dice nerfing other weapons as well.....
@ 14:32 you hit that person in the face. It gave you 5 exp for a direct impact. I heard the explosion. No kill. DICE PLEASE! Guy who 'came back' and killed you was only missing 15 health.
inb4 Dice nefs it into the ground and no one ever uses it again due to crybabies.
I noticed the keybinds, do you play on ESDF?
Rip black Mesa tech, JK love you
I wish it had an actual gl launcher sight instead of a red dot.
Irish mains: “Showtime”
I never had so much fun in the game until I got the noob tube. It’s a blast in more ways than one 💥🤣
17:40 mus1CK: Hi! XD
Surprised this doesn't act like the airburst from bf4
Plop, AHHHHH, Banana, Boom.
