Spawning on squad mates when map begins.

[kregora]

@xXGugusseXx Yes, when you are close you can press the "interaction" key (E) and throw them back. I have quick throw grenades enabled, maybe that has something to do with it.
So this works on frag grenades - including Sundance Scatter grenades -, and on the spotting balls.

@kregoraGood question. I don't remember ever seeing a prompt to throw back grenades in 2042 myself but I'm not sure if I've just missed it.

You can deffo interact with spot balls and they then work for you for a bit, haven't tried with Grenades yet.

So not being able to spawn on squad vehicles at the start of round could be a console bug?

Interesting.....

Wonder if anyone has raised a bug report.

@Trokey66 I knew about the pokeballs but mustn't have considered that it'd work on other grenade types too. Sounds like something I'd do anyway.

I think I remember seeing a bug report about it - will see if I can find it.

Edit: Not specifically about this problem but it is mentioned: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/The-Spawn-Map-is-Riddled-With-Problems/m-p/11260495#M13987

@ElliotLH I thought it was just us that called them pokeballs!

@Trokey66 I probably stole it from you to be fair

@Trokey66 wait what ? how can you do that ? Only on PC as well or you can do it on console ? I've never seen any prompt for throwing back grenades on console. Same for pokeballs, and I was already quite close to it while trying to shoot it (which didn't work as well).

[xXGugusseXx]

@kregora ok, that might be the problem. This is an option I've got off because the description isn't very clear (in french at least). I always thought this was an option to immediately throw any grenade as soon as you select it, not that it also gives the possibility to throwback. this would explain why i don't see any prompt...

[kregora]

@xXGugusseXx Shooting enemy pokeballs destroys them - maybe. Maybe they just bounce away.
To interact with throwables I'd assume you use the same button to interact with the loadout crate, open doors, enter/leave a vehicle(?)

[kregora]

@xXGugusseXx It is only an assumptions, and I wouldn't be surprised much, when some of the settings do have side effects. That is why I mentioned it. Maybe you want to give it a try.

On PC, Quick Throw usually starts the throwing animation when you press "G" and throws the grenade. And when you hold "G" the behavior it readies the grenade, and throws it when you press the left mouse button, or release the "G" key.
