C4 vs 3 meter radius

[‡ Torro ‡]

Is that legit logic thats scientifically proven? Is that like a tried and proven result from c4? I'm curious, cause if you put..5 metal walls in that 3 meter span and put the bomb on one side it wouldn't seem like it would blow through all 5 metal walls to get to the last layer. But I'm not educated in C4 or explosives..

Depends on the metal type/thickness and amount of C4.

you can punch holes with very small amounts of C4 in steel plates and cut metal bars. You can also make a shaped charge pancake with it. that one goes through reinforced concrete.

2kg of c4 does a devistating amount of damage.

Torpex pretty much summed it up. There's too many variables, from the shape of the charge to the exact location of it to the exact makeup and structure of the wall.

As far as the actual gameplay, they've made some changes. From the patchnotes:

"Another change hitting the C4 is the damage system. Up until now, C4 had one single radius for damage in which it dealt maximum damage to everything. A new system with 3 layers has been implemented to rectify that.
Level 1 - The smallest radius. Everything in it is either dead or destroyed
Level 2 - Simulates the initial strongest shock wave, deals massive damage in range to whatever it hits first.
Level 3- Simulates the remaining force after the shockwave hits the item in front of it. Damage varies to what the object that took initial hit was."

Initial walls do give some protection.

yah thats what I'm talking about. K so I can build those walls closer than 3 meters then.

C4 is in my opinion incredibly unreliable. I have set off C4 charges that does no damage to anything, I have set charges that doesnt blow the wall I place it next to but another one behind it, and I have placed C4 that have taken out everything in a few meters radius.

In my opinion, its too unreliable for what it requires of grind to procure.

As for building bases, if you put a sand block blueprint in between the walls and dont touch it, you should be good.

sandblocks is favorable compared to running back and forth for trees and metal for a day..

[Driblus]

I'm not saying build them, I'm saying using the blueprints as measurement.

[‡ Torro ‡]

o...i use the wooden barricade thing to measure it. its about the same as 3m

[‡ Torro ‡]

tried building a stretch of concrete..that'll take forever compared to metal and wood..
