Talk:Grenade (taunt)

just something I thought I'd mention; you can survive the taunt while ubercharged (he takes no damage). of course, ubercharging a soldier using the equalizer is normally impossible, but using developer console commands alongside sv_cheats, its possible. i dont know if its worth adding, since its only possible using cheats.

Yeah, if it requires using cheats, it's not notable. It's like saying "Noclip allows a Spy to sap a Sentry from underneath the ground" --Firestorm 07:51, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Survivng Taunt - update

Both the Rocket Jumper and Gunboats had been changed to still kill the user of the Kamikaze taunt. However, since the Rocket Jumpers changes in the Dec22 patch, equipping both the Rocket jumper AND the Gunboats will still allow a player to survive it with no damage taken (apart from fall). I've edited the bugs section a little to reflect this. DarkQuill 13:32, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

This has been fixed in an undocumented change during the Jan3 2011 update, appare=ntly.

Repeating Trivia

Is it worth repeating trivia from the Equalizer page in the Kamikaze page? Is there a precedent set on this issue already? Squidfeeder 19:36, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Unaided Survival

Has anyone else survived the Kamikaze taunt without a Rocket Jumper or Gunboats? I killed someone with the grenade, survived, and got the achievement on an unaltered server. Does that happen regularly or did I just get a lucky glitch? The Seabear 23:09, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Conflicting facts

Update history mentions that overhealed soldiers can't survive anymore due to taunt causing 320 self damage. Trivia says it can be performed many times if overhealed. I assume the update history is correct but can't confirm. BASEBALLFURIES 11:20, 28 July 2011 (PDT)

Cupcake

Does anyone have a clue as to why the soldier says "c'mere cupcake" when performing this taunt? It makes no sense. If someone finds out, please add to trivia. K-Raider NL 09:26, 16 April 2012 (PDT)

It's just a taunt - "cupcake" referring to someone on the enemy team. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 11:10, 16 April 2012 (PDT)

Battalion's Backup

The Battalion's Backup allows a Soldier to reach above 320 Health with overheal and its buff can reduce the self-damage to 207, allowing him to survive Kamikaze. --Straitjacket (talk) 04:24, 24 December 2013 (PST)

Blast Resistance in MVM

I believe if you max out the Soldiers Blast Resistance in MVM, the Soldier can survive the taunt. Not sure if it was a server mod though.

Additionally, the taunt can be survived with "full" overheal and a battalion's backup. However, for all intents and purposes, it is lethal. Darkid (Talk | Contribs) 05:43, 21 January 2014 (PST)
