Do elite spec tradeoffs mean rendering the elite mechanic useless?

This might not be a big deal, it just doesn't enable you to destroy it AND keep the charges at the same time; only if you pick it up.

That'd essentially become the benefit to picking it up - being able to use another charge immediately.

 

Another consideration is that it would complicate using blast finishers by detonating turrets.

Good points, I reckon this could be solved by having only 1 ammo count, or just use other blast finishers. Thumper comes with one on the toolbelt. Turrets can't always do it all. Could rebuff the detonations with knock back to make up for it.
