Hellbomb not exploding/dissapearing

[Rilgar55]

Happened twice already ,i would call down a hellbomb, activate it, run away and nothing would happen, then i would go back and the bomb wouldnt be there. Is it a bug or do enemies somehow get rid of it?

It can be destroyed. Watch for chargers or other big bugs.

[Akameka]

if they get destroyed before exploding, nothing happen

Only the dud hellbombs will blow up when damaged.

It's pretty obnoxious how easy they are to destroy. A lot of the time it's easier to just blow things up with Eagles. Some buildings seem to be immune to Eagles though, like fuel silos.

That does actually make a bit of sense when you think about it. The bots do not want fuel silos exploding to random shots, so they build them STRONG. Others can be bit iffy.

The 500KG is what I primarily use and I don't think it destroys the fuel silos in the 'sabotage supply base' missions. Fairly sure there are some other things as well but can't remember them offhand.

from my personal observation, Silos, lab main building and scan towers will resist anything below hellbomb and orbitals strike direct hit

Laser cannon turrets will take minimal damage from anything baring dirrect hit to the top with an orbital, but it WILL take damage from other stuff ( it's just not very well comunicated, as the heat sink only catch fire when it's really low health)

the 500kg for the scan tower works im sick and tired of trying to throw hellbombs in that tower base to have then just bounce around and go out of range
