Did bungie kinda just forget they were not working properly? They mentioned it in their player support section of 2 TWABs months ago and never did anything about it, and they aren’t acknowledging it anymore.
For anyone who is reading this that forgot what the bug is, the tracking basically doesn’t work because the projectiles are colliding with themselves and blowing them up prematurely, and when overcharging grenades on Top Tree Voidwalker, the grenades actually do less damage.
Lemme slaughter my enemies with tracking purple goo swarms.
Just thought I'd share my incredible luck. I'd like to hear any similar stories yall might have.
I think they're still on the "known issues" list? But it's been like 3+ months now?
Not to mention there is the issue of the gauntlets themselves and ALSO the issue of Top Tree Nova overcharged grenades doing nothing with them.
Idk, just wondering if anyone has observed anything stealth changed or if there was a mention I missed.
I'm losing track with the various changes....
I feel like it's been months since bungie addressed them not working correctly, and I don't remember them ever putting out a patch.
Please bungo… I wanna throw some crazy scatter nades :(
Scatter Grenades with Nothing Manacles do less damage than a normal non charged Scatter Grenade. I think this might be connected with the reason that they blow up before they start tracking. The tracking fails to work even if you drop the grenade close to enemies.
Tracking sometimes works but it is really inconsistent. When it works it is good.
There are plenty of Youtube videos on the matter if anyone is curious about it.
Edit:
Here are some videos:

Can the cosmology perk of gravton lance synergize with the tracking buff that nothing manacles provide?
If I recall correctly it was acknowledged that Nothing Manacles currently don't work or are bugged. They were a power house in D1 and any kind of update on these exotic gauntlets would be great. Thank you, have a good day.
Edit: Posted this at work and since this got a little traction I'll explain more. There really isn't another way to say it but currently Nothing Manacles don't do anything vs. normal scatter grenade. I've tested them in pvp in private matches and in pve and there is no difference.
Also, on top tree voidwalker, if you charge scatter all the way up they track with out Nothing Manacles. They have tracked like this since day one of Destiny 2 and is not a new function. Nothing Manacles are seriously one of my favorites and I'd like them to get the attention they deserve.
As a warlock main, and a very busy person as well, it made me very happy to get the last exotics I have as missing for my lock.
As a side note, the lore for Necrotic Grip is really sad and disturbing.
The solar exotic arms, Sunbracers, as far as I know have had built in fastball since launch. There is no mention of this perk in this description and I feel like it would be fair for the Nothing Manacles to also have this attribute.
On top of Solar nades having fastball with Sunbracers, Scatter nades also seem to have a steeper arc, so even when equipping the fastball perk they do not seem to be thrown as far as the solar nades with the same perks equipped. So possibly Nothing Manacles could be given an "Enhanced" Fastball so that they have the same trajectory as the solar nades.
The damage increase is insignificant and the tracking is weak. Such a shame, because the exotic looks really cool and has potential.
I play mostly PvE and Nothing Manacles were my go-to in D1, I enjoy using them now but I see a lot of people preferring Contraverse, so my question is, which is better for PvE/Gambit, and why, anything would be appreciated, extra points if you include a build for them…and as always, thanks guardians :)
So in the most recent update, Contraverse Hold got kind of nerfed and Nothing Manacles got fixed I believe?
So after the nerf has it made Nothing Manacles more viable or is it still best to go with Contraverse Hold?
I already knew once it was announced that these were coming, that they were gunna be garbage compared to D1.
No point running over Contraverse with Vortex Grenades Scatter grenades are complete garbage in D2 Nothing Manacles do almost nothing for them.
This is so beyond disappointing because they were my favorite exotic armor in D1 yet they don't even know how to track in this game when that's the whole point
Yeah these kinda suck in PvE. I won't talk about PvP cause I haven't tried them yet but from an hour with them running around EDZ, they suck.
Scattered Grenades need a damage buff, and I'm not saying that I want them to do half the health of a boss, but when a charged scattered grenade fails to kill 3 trash cabal(WITH TRACKING) then we have issues. Like why should I use Nothing Manacles when I can use Vortex Grenades with Contraverse holds? Or, lets talk about how trash Nova bomb in general is on endgame content, the fact that it can't even take half the HP of a stunned champion on higher lvl content?
These were my favorite exotic back in D1 and I hate to see them return when Nova a bomb is in such a bad state. Hopefully, and I really hope it's the case with Witch Queen, they'll buff nova bombs and scattered Grenades damage so they can be used in endgame PvE.
Completely unrelated, I had to do 5 runs of the master lost sector to get these. Common drop huh?
C’mon we can have giant ice crystals and 45 ways to freeze someone but I can’t destroy unsuspecting souls like the glory days?
Scatter grenades have to be the most underutilized grenades in the game right now. I have seen them maybe one time in two years.
Because scatter grenades can already track.
Does anyone have them? Do they still regen grenade energy like in d1?
Has anyone tried these out in crucible? I tried using them with top tree Nova Bomb. My thought was that the charged grenade would do when more damage and the scatter grenade would track to help secure the kill. It appears that the gloves make the grenades when less consistent than without. I'm wondering on other people's rights on this. Maybe they're not intended for crucible?
I've had about 7 - 8 of them, and all of them have been between 55 - 60, my friend has also had similar stats to mine on around 2 -3 drops . It's weird, especially seeing as from the same sources I've got them, I've had higher stats on other exotics, Xur, nightfall and lost sectors. I'm either extremely unlucky, or something Isn't right with their stats, has anyone else had a similar problem?
Why can't they just take the properties from the skip grenade and make it so scatter grenade works the same with nothing manacles?
I'm currently using Shinobu's vow on my hunter and skip grenades are crazy good, fantastic tracking! Just copy the effect of Shinobu's and give it to nothing manacles?
Also, fix the bug with nothing manacles please bungo.
I’ve had a look on YouTube, but no luck.
