| — In-game description |
The Anti-Tank Sticky Bomb (a.k.a. Sticky) is a throwable Anti-Tank Grenade that will stick to whatever surface it hits.
Description
The Anti-Tank Sticky Bomb is a tertiary weapon that is thrown by hand. It has a maximum range of 7.2 meters, travels relatively slowly in the air, is almost perfectly accurate regardless of stability, and can be thrown at a rate of 24 per minute. It sticks to what it lands on and always explodes 2.5 seconds afterwards. The explosion deals 407 Anti-Tank Explosive damage at the point of impact and quickly decreasing amounts in a 2m radius.
It is only useful against armored vehicles as it deals no damage to structures (except deployed tripods). It reduces the vehicle armour integrity by an amount equal to the damage dealt. It has a very high chance (effectively 100%) of disabling the tracks subsystem of armored vehicles (7x modifier) if it lands on it.
It does not stack in the player's inventory (1 per slot) except when wearing a Colonial Grenade Uniform (stacks of 2 per slot)
Its weight is reduced by 25% with a Colonial Grenade Uniform.
Usage
Throwing the grenade:
- Hold down
RMB. The bomb's trajectory is visible. - Press
LMBto throw it. LMBcan be held like with other grenades but it has no effect. If held too long, the grenade is automatically thrown at the player's feet.- After the throw, if a grenade of the same type exists in the backpack, it will automatically be equipped.
Production
Mass Production Factory orders must have at least 3 crates.
Storage
It does not stack in structure or vehicle inventories (1 per slot).It can only be stored in the stockpile of Bases (32k max).
Crates of Anti-Tank Sticky Bomb can be directly submitted to any item stockpile that accepts that item to transfer their content.The crates can also be stored in the crate stockpiles of Storage Depots (1000 public, 100 per Reserve Stockpile), Seaports (1000 public, 100 per Reserve Stockpile), Shipping Containers (60), or Storage Ships (1000).
It can be transported by almost any vehicle with inventory slots. However it is much more efficient to transport it in bulk amounts as crates, either delivering them to a Base's stockpile with a Truck or to a crate stockpile with shipping vehicles carrying Shipping Containers.
Tactics
- Use the short timer to distance yourself from the bomb after you throw it to avoid getting killed by its blast
- Sticky bombs can stick to infantry. However, it is not advisable to use them against non-vehicle targets
Trivia
- The Sticky Bomb currently appears to be based on the British no. 74 Anti-Tank grenade
- It will also stick to players, though this is exceptionally difficult and not considered a wise use of the Sticky Bomb.
