pretty straightforward question. i was using the lobster last night for awhile to break up the big groups of opponents, and while it's great for knocking people down, i found myself getting very few kills, mostly due to a general low damage output.

however, i was a medic the entire time and I'm wondering if the soldier class gets a bonus when using the lobster. if not, then i really don't see it as a worthy primary weapon.

I dont think it gains the recharge bonus (obvious reasons) but I'm not able to test whether it gets the increased radii/damage benefits from the rank 5 skills yet. I'm sure others will have information on this soon.

No soldiers grenade skills do not affect the lobster or the EZnade, however they do affect the underslung grenade launcher on assault rifles.
