Can Crossbow close titan bug hole

[Jeffery]

Is that my skill problem or it just can't? If it really cannot do that, please give me some advice of closing titan bug holes, my normal loadout are: crossbow, plas-15 loyalist, stun grenade, jump pack, railgun, orbital gas, and orbital gatling. Thanks for helping

You can’t. Bring 500kg eagle to close it.

[Midas]

Needs 40 demolition. Smaller 'grenade' like explosives won't cut it. It has to be a bigger boom like an eagle airstrike, or larger.

Need big explosions, artillery, 500kg, I think also regular airstrike? I'd have to check.
One final ditch solution is a pod. I bring EATs a bit of the time, you can throw it near the Titan nest and you'll destroy it with the pod landing on/near it.

Always good to have a backup.

Orbital gas should do it. I'm unsure of the exact demolition force needed but gas strike has the same as the 500kg bomb and that closes the hole.

There's actually a weird oddity here - the orbital napalm barrage is listed as only 30 demo strength, but all the airstrikes (normal, napalm etc) are listed as 40. So it's possible to close a titan hole with a napalm airstrike but not a napalm orbital if these numbers are correct.

I think it's a detonation force of 40 or higher?

You can close it with a hellpod. What i do is I throw down an equipment stratagem or turret. It closes it everytime.

[Vivianite]

it's not strong enough demolition power wise, the best weapon to do this with that ISNT a stratagem is the ultimatum, even the grenade pistol is not strong enough.

[Oblivious]

a spear rocket can close it

[Akkarin]

The Ultimatum destroys titan holes too

[Ashlem]

I've found Ultimatum pistol, eagle 500kg, eagle airstrike, orbital precision strike can all close them.

But the most overall effective one are hellpods. If you have a turret sentry available, just call one down and try to have it drop on top of the hole. Even a humble supply drop or calling down one of your support weapons

[Metro Gnome Holding Metronome]

Impaler tentacle strikes destroy the holes as well.

[an_actual_whale]

Railstrike can close it and if it autoaims onto a bile titan coming out of the hole the dying titan collapsing on it can close it too

thanks for the advice, now I have no clue what is detonation force or demolition, I always understand them as bigger or smaller explosions, or how much physical impact (such as direct hit from 500kg)

On the wiki, every weapon and stratagem includes its demolition force in its stats.
