The Anti-Tank Sticky Bomb (a.k.a. Sticky) is a throwable anti-tank explosive 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 450 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.

Usage

To throw it:

1. Hold down RMB. The bomb's trajectory is visible.
2. Press LMB to throw it.

You can hold LMB 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.

After the throw, if another sticky bomb exists in the backpack, it will automatically be equipped.
