The Anti-Tank Sticky Bomb (a.k.a. Sticky) is a throwable Anti-Tank Grenade that will stick to whatever surface it hits.
Uses
Specifications
It is thrown by hand to a maximum range of 7.2 meters and moves relatively slowly. It sticks to what it lands on and always explodes 2.5 seconds afterwards.
It 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 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 Grenade Uniform (stacks of 2 per slot)
Its weight is reduced by 25% with a Grenade Uniform.
Usage

- Hold down
RMB
. The bomb's trajectory is visible. - Press

like with other grenades but it doesn't affect the timer and if you hold for too long you will automatically throw it at your feet.

Production
Structure | Input(s) | Output | Time |
---|---|---|---|
Factory (Heavy Arms) | 50 x Basic Materials 50 x Explosive Powder |
Crate of 10 x Anti-Tank Sticky Bomb | 00:01:15 |
Mass Production Factory (Heavy Arms) | 50 x Basic Materials 50 x Explosive Powder |
Crate of 10 x Anti-Tank Sticky Bomb | 00:12:30 |
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.
