WHY DOES IT EXPLODE?

[мышиная беброчка]

I take quests to transport explosives and it explodes constantly for no reason
WHY?

[VX | AlKpOne]

Some materials are unstable when in contact with water like sodium, and others. So if u hit ur submarine and water get in touch with that just explodes. Thats just my guess.

[Prydain]

Sometimes an unstable explosive gets snuck into the cargo. Just check it quickly before leaving and toss out any that seem to be losing durability quickly. Just chuck em out of the airlock and move the sub away quickly then your fine.

[Frost Spectre]

Nitroglyzerin is common explosive cargo. When transporting, they will explode if you don't take care of avoiding hitting rocks on the way. Tho on higher difficulty areas, take care not to become ping pong ball for Molochs and such with enough power to shake your submarine.

Materials like sodium, magnesium and potassium are violently reactive with water, which cause them to explode.

Also stored explosive materials in containers or storage lockers/cabinets will not like to be exposed to explosions (for standard explosives) or water (for water reactive materials), causing a deadly chain reaction...

Also remember that fully loaded oxygen tanks and welding fuel tanks will explode when hit by an explosion, so if your character survives explosion, you will likely have empty oxygen tanks and fuel tanks now. The tanks however will not break because of it.

[Cid Silverwing]

Place the crates in a Storage Shelf where they won't get jostled. Then take care to not crash your sub at all.

[Sixshooter116]

if you are transporting C-4 then one might have a detonator attached to it chuck that one out of the sub and you'll be fine

[Bozhdynsky]

When taking explosives mission, just take out first detonator, it contains volatile compound n and it is degrading. Take it outside the sub and drop it. Complete the rest of the mission as normal.

[The Flaming Pike]

Yeah, for some reason, there can be a detonator within the crate that is slowly degrading. At first I thought maybe it was some kind of revenge attack by a faction that doesn't like you, but it happened to me even with all factions having positive reputation points. The first time it happened to me, I had to replay the mission 3 times before figuring it out. Sometimes you can make it to the outpost before it blows up, but most of the time you won't be able to.

On a side note, don't you people love when stuff explodes? It's one of the underestimated details about Baro IMO. Nobody ever talks about explosions but when I hear a deflagration, see people blown away by the sheer force of it and the erupting chaos that follows right behind, I can't help but smile.
