Vanguard grapple is the most bugged skill I've ever seen.
Mega rant/complaint incoming.
So I'm rocking a chain grapple build and grinding the new awesome siege mode with it. Basically i got the "nearby enemies get damaged on grapple finisher" along with the "you can grapple finish enemies that are 33% and lower" but I've had countless frustrating moments where he just either doesn't want to grapple to the enemy I'm looking at, or even am locked onto!!
So there's a massive chaos wave. I manage to get one of them to 33% and I'm thinking to myself "yessss now grapple to him and see absolutely everyone die." And nope. He just grapples to some random enemy I'm not even looking at, the skill gets wasted, I die. Or another moment where there were litteraly 3 glowing red enemies (staggered or whatever you wanna call the moment you can execute an enemy), i look at one of them, and he just goes and grapples to a random little cultist guardsman waaay in the back. I am aware that there is a minimum distance with the skill, but i make sure to roll back twice and then I'm always in the fitting range. Another laughable moment was where there are enemies under 33% hp. I grapple to them, but he just won't finish them for some reason. Of course the skill gets wasted again, and I die because i calculated that it would kill everyone due to the grapple finish shockwave doing INSANE damage.
I would just love to get a simple feature which says "when you're locked onto an enemy, you can only grapple to that enemy", and if course get that bug fixed where he just won't finish someone for some reason. There were countless moments where I severely injure a chaos space marine, and when I go to grapple him, he just warps right into a horde in the back, I still see exactly where he is and see his hp is in the red (grapple-finishable), but now I gotta win the lottery if he's even going to grapple to him or the random 30 enemies standing in front of him.
Super awesome skill and mega strong build, but even when all conditions are met for me to obliterate an entire horde, I just have to pray to RNJesus that my skill will actually grapple to the one, two, or even three enemies who are low hp instead of the random 2 guardsmen behind my intended targets
