Question and thoughts on Bile Titan Bug holes

[NinKirin]

I don't recall, but they aren't treated like airship fabricators where you can call a hellbomb to destroy them right?

If that is the case, then what are your guys thoughts on them being only destroyable with things that have demolition force of 40 +? (I heard that it requires demolition force of 40+ based off what I saw on another post, but I'm not 100% sure)

Also, what is everyones thoughts on treating bile titan bug holes like fabricators in a sense that they have HP? and you need to either throw multiple grenades down the hole/shoot it multiple times with recoilless rockets/quasars to destroy it/or use demolition 40+ stratagems or equipment to destroy it

No hellbomb that I'm aware of. Not that you're likely to be able to leave one armed long enough to do the job with it sending out bile titans constantly.

Anything the size of an eagle strike or larger can deal with it. I'm not sure if someone has compiled of a list of all the things that work, but generally big explosives of many varieties will do the job. It just can't be done with little explosives that we typically close bug holes with, grenades.

As far as I know, all that matters is the demolition force. I don't think I've seen anything that hit it take more than one hit to do the job. I don't even know if it has anything like HP, since only the demolition force is listed.

Actually.... if I recall correctly, I think I've destroyed bio-processors before with hellpods..... so I was wondering if throwing a weapon stratagem hellpod would destroy it as well.....

yep that's what i've been doing, dropping the MG sentry on it

Lmao, alright, I'll test that out when I have a chance

That hole is reason why I brought 380 with me , always. Very convenient to take out a nest , no matter the size, detering Bug Breach, and that damned Bile titan hole is easily hit with it, with how big the 380' projectile area-of-effect.

It sux that a Hellbomb doesn't close a bug hole.. bugs will keep streaming out after it's been bunker busted with the heat of the sun.

In starship troopers they were closing bug holes with those rpg nukes, but in HD2 they can't be closed.
Bug holes are on an arbitrary timer that lasts longer than the lingering gas effect from an orbital gas strike.

If you are talking about the Portable Hellbomb, it has smaller range compared to the conventional Hellbomb, I knew cuz I tested it on Light and Medium nest.

With the demo force, everything is simple, you either reach the required value, for example 40, then the building is destroyed regardless of everything else, if the value is lower, then consider that you do no harm at all.

At least I think that's how they wanted to explain it to me.

The purpose of the Hellbomb is to clear out the mobs so you can man-mode the holes with grenade pistol and 500kg.

I guess, but like fabricators do both, it has demolition force and hp and I really like the way they implemented them, especially since in my eyes a giant hole to be sealed requires multiple small explosives to seal fully, or one huge one to absolutely decimate it

I don’t argue, it looks quite ridiculous when such a structure cannot “gradually” collapse, but requires the impact of a certain force.
