Revenge Of The Street Vultures - "don't shoot any explosives" - I don't but they still explode

[Revtim]

I'm *not* shooting any explosives but they still goes off and I fail the level. Sometimes I'm not even shooting.

I think it's because my armor is maxed out which has the perk where small arms fire bounces off and hit enemies; I wonder if the enemy's arms fire is bouncing off me and hitting the explosive barrels?

I've tried like ten times.

[Black Hole]

Odd I've played through this twice on my 3rd time and I use max armor and it seems to help more than cause problems as it kills other bad guys who may set off a bomb, I typically just bounce in use the lethal tazer ability and use single shot perk.

If your armor is maxed out, you should probably be fine to rush up to each enemy and grab and throw them without needing to fire a shot. Even if an enemy is thrown into an explosive barrel, it won't go off. I'd also note that Combat 10's lethal shockwave won't set off the explosives, but I'm not betting on your having that.

I'm not 100% sure about the ricochets, but it's possible that being directly in front of an enemy that's using small arms fire will make it more likely to hit them and not go astray. I know I saw at least one enemy tag himself that way for me and didn't have the explosives go off.

And as a plus, the grab and throws are kind of hilarious. It's how I handled that mission in my last playthrough.

the grab reach is insane i just tossed everyone into bricks. played on hard mode

[Steel Panther]

I had no problem with this at all. I failed it the first time because I was dumb and wasn't really listening to them so I intentionally shot the explosive barrels, after doing it again and realizing what I was supposed to be doing no issues.

[Vinnolo]

i had max armor and went thru that part with no issues, make sure you arent using a modified auto9 with pellet spray

[Black Hole]

I've never used the pellet spray so maybe that is what was saving me using single shot amomo.

Armor up, and shot the first few on the ledges, away from explosives. Then work you way down to lower level and just "grab and throw" the enemies. Tried shooting them, and had too many explosions.

[RageMojo]

In the room before you start this there is the hand cannon laying on the box, use that. one shot one kill no overshoot.

[Bastard Emperor]

You are definitely shooting the explosive barrels! I accidentally shot the explosives twice and had to restart but learned to angle myself to shoot away from them or go for a clear headshot despite an enemy standing in front of barrels, this was on hard mode.

[phily]

Use a 9mm or DEagle side weapon, just don't fire your gun at all and run at them. Robocop's gun can have some issues with spread because of the stupid way PCBs can work.

[ltron]

I avoided the barrels by shooting the enemies' feet. Or if you have maxed out the combat skill you can press 'c' to kill everyone around you.

[DreamingVoid]

There was one enemy that every time he took damage, the explosives went off. At first, I thought it was piercing through, but it happened even when he was in front of a brick wall. After 5 attempts, I resorted to the grab and throw method.

It is 100% bugged in some way.

[Black Hole]

You can also shock a lot of them too death with your stun no need to use bullets it refreshes fairly quickly once you level it up.

[rikupajari]

On my first playthrough I had to replay this segment like 5-6 times and I didn't even have my armor maxed up. I was quite trigger happy though so I just tried to grab and throw as many goons as I could. When I did this again on NG+ with everything maxed up, there was no problem and I cleared it on my first try.
