Explosives

Things of which the only purpose is to make your hands magically disappear. Or your flesh. Or your lungs. Or a horde. Or a powerful monster. Your pick.

Explosion effects

Explosives are complex beasts:

  • Explosives have a power value, which is used to determine the impact damage as well as the amount of noise.
  • Noise is equal to power * 2 if the explosive lights fires, or power * 10 if it does not.
  • If the explosive has a blast effect, the blast radius is equal to the square root of (power / 4), rounded down. The blast will deal damage to creatures equal to 3 * power at the blast origin, scaling down with distance. NPCs and Players will receive between 1/3 and the full damage value to each limb except the torso, which will receive between 0.5 and 1.5 times the original blast damage.
  • If the explosive lights fires then every square in the blast radius will be lit on fire.
  • Some explosives fire shrapnel shards, each of which deals 20-60 damage and flies a random distance in a random direction, up to double the blast radius. These can be incredibly deadly, even a single one impacting a player's torso or head is likely to end a player's life.

Blind throws

In 0.E (Ellison) you can blind throw grenades around corners. wield the explosive, pull the pin, and peek (X) around the corner (in the sidebar a new option 'Press t to blind throw' should show up). Press throw and select the square you want to throw at, and throw the explosive around the corner. Not useful for throwing knives and other objects as there is a damage penalty for blind throwing.

Other explosives

Not all explosives are hand held, some are fired from various firearms. Some weapons also have explosive ammo, such as the Explosive slug, look for ammo with the 'EXPLOSIVE' or 'EXPLOSIVE_SMALL' flags.
