BrickBattle Guide: Bombs

Bombs are the most destructive and slow-to-detonate basic weapons in ROBLOX. The basic bomb is blue and pink, and ticks, so watch out for these. The ticks and color-changes speed up when it is about to explode.

Many a strategy can be made for this explosive. Capable of taking down a large tower, they have massive splash damage. They can instantly destroy someone who ventures too close to the detonation. They appear above your head, and then can bounce, so watch where you are placing them if there is something that you don't want to destroy. They also react to each other's explosions, just like real physics. If one explodes right next to another, the second one will be blasted far away, possibly exploding next to someone who thinks he is safe(!) or on something that you wanted to keep(!!).

Eight ways:

• Try to hide one a little out of the way where a lot of people move. If you are lucky, it will go off when someone is near, earning you an easy kill. You can also try dropping a bomb and waiting until it's near detonation. Then you can shoot a missile at it and it will roll to another player.

• Use bombs to blow open the Theif's Den roof, the secret entrances and secret walls. There are also many destroyable places in the Haunted House place.

• Use them to hinder movement: You can easily take out a tower or a bridge necessary for people to get through, such as the Sky Bridge.

• Although it may be considered poor sportsmanship (but hey, it is a game...) you can place a great many at spawn locations, earning you easy kills from AFKers and slow-to-start players.

Used properly, explosives can be quite enjoyable to play with. Please be wary of the explosive radius and the ability to utterly annihilate yourself.
