Ok, my friend and I tested a little, and if you can keep them from sitting there cooking the grenades all day, it will take 14 to kill a covie citadel with no shield. the splash damage takes out the adjacent buildings long before that though...

So i'm going to say that given their high cost, high build time, and high numbers needed, that it is not viable at this time.

I used to use a suicide grunt rush to kill covies in 2v2 with a forge arby combo The covie base would be gone under 230 and its hard to see it coming cause its so fast. Its easy to stop if u know its coming and we never did it on people we just played if we got matched up against them again.

The first good people we tried it against were two generals, they used brute anders, hit my base, and brute's base was gone at like 230 on docks cause it took me a while to get there. Brute kept trying to rebuild but was eliminated and then anders tried one last attack before she quit.

The only problem I have with them is they are glitchy as hell. In 3v3 I try to put them in a reactor with a prophet or brute near it and 90% of the time they attack the covie leader. There is nothing I can do but watch them be retarded. I actually had a situation in 2v2 where I needed one more grunt to kill the covie base and was hitting it with my arbiter so the human wouldn't heal it but my grunt shot the enemy prophet for like 30 seconds instead of walking into the base whiel the prophet shot my arbiter, it was stupid.

Now my 2v2 partner just uses them to kill turrets and bases that just built but sometimes they are still glitchy.

It takes about 1 to kill a warehouse but you need to hit it a little with arby to kill it. For the temple i'm guessing about 2.

studmuffin:I love suicide grunts, they are not used enough, sadly I hate when I tell them to blow something up and they just sit there looking stupid.

you know you are telling them to go kill themselves so i dont blame them to just sit there. also does any one here want to share with us how many suicide grunts it takes to kill a temple or bwh?

Suicide grunts are amazing,..The are not that glitchy either. Except if you tell them to hit the BC they always seem to run to him and stop right before they blowup...or 1 or 2 grunts out of the squad will blow but thats about it. They are awesome though and highly underused.

They don't suck at all. They are incredibly powerful during harrassment and gaining an early advantage in the game. 2v2 they are particularly powerful.

It's well-worth it to suicide BWHs or to suicide a temple after you kill a leader before he can respawn. I wouldn't recommend trying to outright kill the center, though.

And suicide grunts definitely do not suck, they are incredibly underused.
