Explosive weapon question


(l-lockdown-l) #1

Hey all,

Brink looks incredible! I’ve been following it for a very long time and I cannot wait to get behind the controller.

  • My question is does anyone know what types of explosives are in the game?

I think I have seen grenades and maybe a grenade launcher in the videos but have not seen any C4 (outside of the tactical breaching of the walls), claymores, mines or anything else.

Just curious…
Thanks!

Mines I can confirm, but as for the others I’ll have to leave you guessing for the moment… :wink:

There are mines, no claymores that i know of, a grenade launcher, and some throwables (not all explosive e.g. molotov, EMP)


(l-lockdown-l) #4

Nice, thanks.

Molotov’s… sweet!

Wonder if only certain classes can use some explosives?


(Weapuh) #5

Yup, i believe only heavy body-types (not sure) are able to wield Grenade launchers and Engineers cant plant mines.

I think it’s more like this:

Heavy Bodytype:

Automatic Grenade Launcher (Heavy Weapon)

Medium Bodytype:

Normal Grenade Launchers (ex: Thumper from MW2)


Operative: EMP Grenade
Medic: Lazarus Grenade (Revival Grenade, maybe it heals too?)
Engineer: Landmines (’‘claymores’’)
Soldier: Molotov Cocktail (Firebomb)

All: Not sure, but I think all classes gets normal frag grenades, yeah?

As far as I know, only the soldierclass can equip grenades - but I´m not sure, too! :slight_smile:
But he is the only one who can customize grenades with skillpoints.

From what I ave seen:

  • Soldiers get flashbangs and molotovs
  • Engineers get mines
  • Operatives get EMP’s
  • Mediums and Heavies can get light grenade launchers
  • Heavies can get automatic grenade launchers.

Everyone gets regular and grenades.

Ooh, cliffhanger… if they are “leaving us guessing”, i think that there will definetly be C4 of some sort. usually if SD is not putting something into a game, they tell us pretty quickly. I sure hope im’ right! :penguin:


(Schwarzeis) #10

Why is that penguin carrying a gun? :eek:


(Ix LP xI) #11

Weren’t molotovs confirmed to NOT be in the game? Thought I read that somewhere…


(Mad Hatter) #12

They were brought back in a while ago. I guess the almighty devs found a way to make a good fire effect after all. :slight_smile:

That’s what they said the problem was right?

Anyway, Soldiers are supposed to specialize in grenades and explosives, so I’m fairly certain flashbangs and molotovs aren’t all they’ll be packing. At least I hope not.


(DarkangelUK) #13

There’s sticky grenades as well I believe. If you cross-paths with an enemy and bump into them… you plant a grenade on their person.


(Herandar) #14

Automatically?? That’s how I read your post.


(DarkangelUK) #15

That’s how I remember it anyway. Now if I remember correctly, I believe it was Ed Stern that told me this at Eurogamer Expo so 1) It could change, 2) it could be removed 3) I could’ve been too sleep depraved and I imagined it… but I’m 90% sure I found that info out.


(Crytiqal) #16

Lol? you automaticly stick a nade on them?

Just run into a group of enemys and bump in to as many as you can ftw xD


(Mad Hatter) #17

I don’t think it’s an automatic plant whenever you touch someone. That would be kinda weird. I do remember something about sticky bombs though. I’ll try to find the video…


(madoule) #18

there’s definitely been something bout defusal and whatnot. but what we know about nades in general, it has this timer to replenish itself. don’t know if there was a grenade specific one or if it came down from you skillbar… (syringes for medics, you know what i mean…)

Don’t forget that Medics get healing grenades along with their epi pens

It may not be, but “specializing” in grenades, doesn’t simply mean access to 1000 different types of grenades. Soldiers will have skills related to grenades as well. From looking at the Soldiers ability screen, it looks like he could have increased splash damage, extra explosive damage and higher grenade capacity.
