Very replicable. Scatter grenades bounce 25% of the time. I have tested this multiple times over the years and it is a consistent 25%. It's incredibly disheartening that this bug is this old, and is the sole reason why this grenade is not viable.
Video attached of the test. I used a macro in mayhem to throw grenades and then counted them.
I did not count grenades that bounced more than once.
Results below:
0 = no bounce
1 = bounce

Props to you mate for actually investigating it, nice one.

Hello. Thanks for your report and video. I'll file this issue for an investigation.

I didn’t realize there was a percentage. Figured it was entirely random.
-
Yeah but it only affects warlocks, so bungie doesn't care. Literally been happening since destiny 1.

Bump. I love scatters when they work. Can't use them because of how often they don't though.
