Small Bomb/Bounce Bomb

[Yew Nough]

Does anyone remember the last time they used one?

Does anyone use them at all?

[Demonica]

Saw bounce bombs used in the youtube video of a no-weapon drawn Fatalis kill. Was fun times.

Bounce Bombs?
About 10 years ago, against Gigginox.

Small Bombs?
I've seen some people use them to detonate large bombs when sleepbombing, but that's about it.

yeah they are pretty much for when your doing stupid things like this because "lol i'm funny" xD

the damage on them is so small without skill boosts its kind of a wasted effort since you can CC onto the monster and deal more damage that way. but as a quick boop they can be fun to use.

ive saw them used before iceborne came out in very specific speedruns where they used them to knock flyers out of the air.

Supposedly they have uses, but they are basically just damage now. They have no paritcularly noticeable additional effects that can make them anything other than damage.

Most people just don't want to waste the time trying to use them and also don't want to dedicate any inventory space to them.

I used a few for a while, but they don't do anything so I stopped using them. I think the last thing I may have tried to use them on was early kills against Kushala, and while they would hit, it was still just so much time wasted when I could do so many other things.

Like what? There isn't much you can do while he is in the air really, apart from avoiding the half dozen tornadoes. They are still probably not worth it, especially in multiplayer. May be better when solo.

I use them in arena

Haven't use them in actual fights.

I remember small bombs being key items to use in older games as a way to propel yourself forward to get to the next area quicker while drinking buffs. I've seen it used in many speedruns. Not much use in World since areas aren't separated anymore.

Bounce bombs... I forgot they're even in World. Back in older games, they were just a quick way to deal some extra bit of dmg when a monster decides to stick to the ceilings or the sky for a long while. Also useful for when a monster is making a really slow landing.

used to use it to bomb. But as someone else said, outside of arenas, I don't see it having much use.

[Greb]

I use 'em in the arena one time, lol. I think against Azure Rathalos in that one awful High Rank arena quest, but honestly I don't remember.

Also perhaps against those Vespoid LR arena quests, but honestly dunno.

When you are melee, pick up slinger ammo and try to slinger the face. If you are ranged, shoot him. Kushala is a pain, but there are things to do, and the bounce bombs only reach him if you are lucky and he isn't flying at max height.

200 hours I've never seen a bouncing bomb, I'm not even sure how they work.

with all the hours i have in this game on pc and ps4, the only times i ever remember using bounce bombs was in the arena, once against vespoids, another against azure rath. i don't remember using them at all in past games lol even though i must've otherwise i wouldn't know how they work

well the + go up at an angle based on your facing when you placed it, the normal fly straight up. they deal damage based on monster res to explosion and fire damage and any other skills like bomber being active.
