Pipebomb
From Duke Nukem Wiki
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Pipebomb is found throughout most of the games in the franchise.
[edit] Description
The Pipebomb are rather small pipe-formed bombs that a player can throw out and detonate at will. There's actually no limit on how many Pipebombs the player can throw out before detonating.
Both the Battlelord and Mini Battlelord wields a form of a Chaingun Cannon with a attached mortar launcher; although they look nothing like the Pipebombs and acts as proximity mines instead of triggerable mines they share the same "impact" sound as the Pipebomb whenever they hit the ground.
[edit] Tips and Tricks
- Perfect weapon for setting up traps and the like; remember that there's no limit on how many you can throw out and each bomb does a tremendous amount of damage as well.
- Can be used quite well as an offensive weapon although some experience is always good to use it effectively.
- The longer you hold down the fire key the further Duke will throw a Pipebomb.
- Single Pipebombs lying around can be blown up by gunfire or other explosives; you can use this to your advantage if you're not the owner of said bomb.
- You can also pick up Pipebombs other players have thrown out or the level designer put there and use it as your own; just walk over it and you'll automatically pick it up.
