Castanas doing zero damage

[Sky_]

I'm not sure what this change was, or if it was intentional or not, as it wasn't included in the patch notes for 21.3.1.

Currently, if you detonate castanas mid flight, they do zero damage to you, or any enemy caught in the radius. I mean - zero. There isn't even a damage number, there is just no damage dealt at all.

This does fix the incredibly broken castana exploit - but at the cost of making these weapons extremely situational, and frankly, useless. Removal of the mid-flight destructibility would have fixed the bug, and had been fine. But not this.

Castanas should deal the same - or a bit less damage if detonated mid flight compared to being stuck to a surface.

The weapon lost its effectiveness by a great deal, I guess removal of the mid-flight destructibility was the easiest way to fix it but certainly not the right decision.
