Explosive

An explosive is a consumable device that can cause damage or other effects when used. While in-game only Engineer players can use these weapons, many variants of sapper, bombardier and mortar operator NPCs are known to use explosives in battle.

Bombs
A type of explosive only Engineers can use or craft that produces a Ground Targeted Area of Effect. Like Grenades and Mortars, bombs typically have a secondary effect (incapacitate, silence) as well as damage. They cannot be used while moving. When bombs are used, a green targetting symbol appears on the ground that can be moved around. The targetting symbol becomes a red 'no' symbol when moved out of range. After acquiring a valid target, click to throw the bomb. The table below summarizes the variety of bombs available to Engineers; skill required and effects. The secondary effect is noted as unreliable above a certain level (the level limit, below). *Requires Goblin Engineering to craft.

Dynamite
A type of explosive only Engineers can craft that produces a Ground Targeted Area of Effect. When dynamite is used, a green targetting symbol appears on the ground that can be moved around. The targetting symbol becomes a red 'no' symbol when moved out of range. After acquiring a valid target, click to throw the dynamite. The table below summarizes the variety of dynamite available; skill required and effects.

Grenades
A grenade is a type of explosive only Engineers can craft that produces a Ground Targeted Area of Effect. When grenades are used, a green targetting symbol appears on the ground that can be moved around. The targetting symbol becomes a red "no" symbol when moved out of range. After acquiring a valid target, click to throw the grenade.

Like bombs and mortars, grenades typically have a secondary effect in addition to the damage. Unlike bombs, grenades can be used while moving.

The table below summarizes the variety of grenades available; skill required and effects.

Mortars
A type of explosive only Engineers can use or craft that produces a Ground Targeted Area of Effect. Like Bombs and Grenades, mortars have secondary effects. When mortars are used, a green targetting symbol appears on the ground that can be moved around. The targetting symbol becomes a red 'no' symbol when moved out of range. After acquiring a valid target, click to fire the mortar. The table below summarizes the variety of mortars available to Engineers; skill required and effects. *Requires Goblin Engineering to craft and reload.
