Make timed explosives throwable, like grenades!

(1/3) > >>

I have been trying to find a way to use timed explosives in combat, for player killing and for exp. It seems impossible. I really like the idea of timed explosives and I'd like a way to use them in combat somehow... They are one of the most fun weapons to use in the game! The the down side is, they are highly situational and hard to use in PVP or PVE combat.

Maybe if they were throwable like grenades, you could set the timer for 3-5 seconds and throw them. Then you could use them for EXP as well as hunting players. They are heavier then grenades, so would have atleast 5 Str requirement for throwing, and range would not be too great, the same or little less then grenades, but far enough to keep the thrower safe from the blast.

Hah! I can see this being highly abusable by demo/thrower alts with 300 traps skill raping everyone in pvp and pve  ::)

If the plastics explosives use remote control, like requiem, will be usefull im pvp.

I find this very enticing, but I see it being a very abuseable thing...  Planting 3-5 explosives in some place where it is impossible to see it (RIGHT by walls, behind unseeablethrough map decorational pieces, etc...) which would be completely unfair.

You guys are willing to scream "ABUSE!" for just about anything! What about suicide bursts in town? What about how timed explosives are allready used(suicide bombings)? Couldn't you also scream abuse for that? Wasteland is HARSH, and most of us like it that way  ;) It would be a boring game if everything people considered "ABUSE!" was removed... Restricting the game and removing features, is not the answer.

I dont see how throwing explosives 10 hex or so is overpowering when you're fighting against 50 hex snipers and 16ap BG builds. You will need AP to arm the explosive, and get in throwing range without dieing from an LSW burst, or before you get blown up by your own bomb. I see no reason I can't throw a bomb the same weight as a brick, 10 feet.


I agree if they add plastic explosives with remote detonate, Traps will be more useful and maybe even possible to lvl with.
