Bombs are ideal for attacking around cover or without otherwise exposing yourself to enemy fire. They include conventional explosives and a few special-purpose devices, all meant to detonate away from your body, and anyone's you want to keep intact.

Most bombs are deployed by infantry, but a few are "craft-bombardment" type meant to be delivered over a target by dropships.

The various Techs field bombs detonated on timer, on impact, by proximity, and by remote detonator. Enjoy!

Free Trade

Specializes in "craft-bombardment" ordinance best deployed via dropship, though rockets and crate bombs also work. C4 and detonators are now automatically set to your team's one color (thus no multiple sets of placed bombs). Traditional grenades and proximity landmines are also for sale.

Standard Bomb

Gold Value: 30
Mass: 5
Deployment: Dropship
Detonation: Impact
Damage: Medium-High
Description: "Normal craft-bombardment bomb. ONLY for dropship use. Fly high above before dropping these so you won't hit yourself with your own payload!"

This bomb... Never equip it to a soldier, it won't end well. This thing detonates on impact and is designed to be dropped from dropships. Tip: if you want a dropship to deploy soldiers and bombs, load a crab in between; this will keep the bombs from being equipped to the soldier automatically.

Napalm Bomb

Gold Value: 50
Mass: 20
Deployment: Dropship
Detonation: Airburst, low altitude
Damage: High
Description: "Napalm craft-bombardment bomb. ONLY for dropship use. Rain flaming death upon troopers by cooking them with hot napalm ordnance!"
