    I got one from Moxxi for a quest, it seeks out a target, sticks to them and does 230+ damage like every quarter second and then explodes, sending 4 of the health regeneration grenades flying back to me

    I had a homing sticky slag one. I didn't like it since it took forever to find someone and it wouldn't start it's fuse until it stuck to someone.

  5. It is more of a game licensing issue with the game developers.

    There is no way for MS to know what consoles are actually yours and which are ones that you may have gone to your friends house and put your profile on so they only allow one console at a time to be your
    home console.

    The best practice in this is whatever console that you want other profiles to be able to play your digital games and use your subscriptions the most on is the one that you would set as your home console.

    Now keep this in mind also

    Any console that is not your home console as long as you are hooked up to the internet any other profile can still play your games and use your subscriptions as long as your profile is signed in at the
    same time. Keep in mind though you can only be signed into one console at a time so if they are signed into your profile on the non-home console you would not be able to be signed in on the home console but you can sign into ANY non-home console with your
    profile and play any of your games and use your subscriptions as long as it is connected to the internet. This is how they determine that you have the license to be able to play the games.

  6. Hi,

    you only need to make the console you want to share with my home xbox that's it, the console you got the licenses on should be able to play on the games, bare in mind that if you have only one license for a game you both want to play then you cannot play
    the same game at the same time due to licensing limitations, you may enjoy the other games while you wait or purchase a license on the account and xbox you want to share with so you both can enjoy the games at the same time.

    Note: My home xbox is made for only to share with your family, unless the policy has changed for sharing.

    Xbox home issues and policies

    No matter what console the account that purchased the games are signed into they should always be able to play their digitally purchased games as long as that console is connected to the internet.

    So if your account is the one that purchased the games and your moms console is the one that is the home console as long as the console that is at your dads is connected to the internet you should be able to play any digitally purchased game that is on your
    account.
