Tips
  • The Grenade Launcher is primarily effective against vehicles and structures due to its sticky nature and high damage. Direct hits on infantry are difficult, and its splash damage is limited.
  • To effectively use against vehicles, concentrate on larger, slower targets like tanks. Stick multiple bombs onto a vehicle while it's stationary, then detonate for massive damage.
  • Nodes can be destroyed by sticking 8 bombs onto them and detonating, repeating the process.
  • Bombs can be placed on your own vehicle for defense against potential thieves or to destroy anyone who tries to steal it.
  • Questionable Ethics Tactics:
  • Suicide Bomber: Stick bombs onto a teammate, who then drives towards an objective (like a Node) to detonate. This deals massive damage but results in the teammate's death (unless Friendly Fire is off).
  • Car Bomb: Similar to the suicide bomber, but a vehicle is rigged and then driven to an objective by another player.
  • Coordinated Detonation: Multiple players can coordinate to stick bombs on the same target (teammate or vehicle) for maximum explosive impact. Ensure all participants survive until detonation.
  • Spider Mines: Bombs can be attached to spider mines. However, bombs significantly slow down spider mines. Use one bomb per mine and direct them towards Nodes or Cores for an attack.
  • Be aware that enemy fire and splash damage can detonate your placed bombs, so exercise caution when attaching them to vehicles you are operating.
