theblazeuk Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Hi! Loving the game. However a few key questions on how I can best use explosives to improve the lives of my teams. Is it possible to blow open the locked doors in alien bases? Is it possible to blow a hole in the sides of a UFO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wraith_Magus Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 The UFOs are currently not so much an "object" or a "wall" as they are simply un-walkable tiles that block LoS. Because of this, they have the amusing quirk of having no "ceiling", and allowing you to actually toss grenades and explosives into the UFO from outside.

StellarRat Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Also, walls and such don't block the blast wave and aren't damaged by it either. Props and animate objects will be the destroyed though even behind a wall, door, UFO hull, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elydo Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I've seen the same happen with smoke, but there was an open door at the edge of the smoke cloud in that case, I haven't tried in other situations yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theblazeuk Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 1. Yes.2. No. Well then! That opens up some tactics. Didn't think it was possible after my explosive charge did nothing much to a door. I will empty a rocket launcher at it and see what occurs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StellarRat Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 It can take between 1 - 3 C4 charges to blow an alien door. Depends on where you put them and luck. I believe even the damage against non-living targets is randomized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
