What happened to the Grubzooka??

[Pink Guy]

The thing is now shooting for MILES!! this stuff is broken, have i missed something? is it a bug?

[Torinux]

Don't know, since the addition of Stormbringer, I haven't touch any other weapon, lol.

cause of the update on explosive thing i guess, explosion always gave a risk to the user, so to incentivize people to use the explosive, they made it safer to use, not that it matters cause if you want to max the explosive skill, you can just create thousands of mouse bomb and send the swarm to bosses since they have no cooldown and waay faster than the zooka :v

This doesn't really explain why the grubzooka's fired grub travels for literal miles. It feels ridiculously broken/super out of place. I use it solely for the purpose of giving creative space for my base - but i absolutely hate that it travels so far because it makes it impossible to count/measure for designs + i can't stand all the loose, floaty pickups that clutter the screen.

Could entirely be a me-problem with my OCD and all but still, this ♥♥♥♥ fires a grub that goes several hundred blocks!!!! What the hell happened to it D:

It's ALWAYS gone that far, just normally it hits a block it can't break and explodes while still on screen with you.

For fun I did a world with the ore turned off, and no biome chaos, and a few shots make a path that just goes SO FAR.

As far as I've seen it's always gone for miles, for that reason I rarely use explosives.

If they limited them to explode at the edge of the screen at least I might be interested, but I don't like having to rebuild things because I missed a shot against an enemy 5 screens away. (That might be an exaggeration, but still...)

I agree, the idea is sick but the fact it just keeps going is a no-no for me.

You just need to have at least STONE around your base, grub can't break stone.

But yha, it's a risky thing, like using desert outfit in your own base, minions go BOOM.

This game has most projectiles traversing 8-10 screens away for no reason, try shooting anything on a rail wagon...

Whelp, looks like I remembereed wrong, count yourself as having found and repoted a bug OP

Fixed an issue that caused Grubzooka and Burnzooka projectiles to travel too far.

So what about the bomb scarab mortar now... is that range considered normal then?
