Explosions of Panau?

[benuncharted1]

Where have you guys seen some of the biggest interactive explosions in the game? You know like the Bio Fuel Shafts and huge airplanes crashing, like the passenger jet. Those are pretty big explosions, but has anyone else seen bigger ones? Like maybe ones in faction missions?

I think nukes would have been a good installation, i get annoyed with the government island... so nuke it!
And not really, i don't really the explosions to be that big, as they dont have decent blast radius, the blast is big, but cars, and objects around it a lot of the time stay stationary.

[benuncharted1]

Nukes would be awesome!

[JAGeng]

biggest ones are the pipelines...packing the biggest shockwave...or maybe its the only explosion that actually has a shockwave at all''

all other explosions are plain pathetic...too much flash but no bang....NO SHOCKWAVE!!!!?????

Pipeline explosions occur far from anything so the massive shockwave is useless in the middle of nowhere...it just lays down a couple of trees..

I have suggested that this massive shocwave should come with all explosions...I hope they take note....

also that big blast should be made available to the player as a weapon so you can deploy that power where you want it....like in the form of a truck bomb or such...with pipeline power.

mercs2 was a poor game but it had mad firepower at your disposal...I still play it for such reason....putting a MOAB anywhere you want doesnt get old!!

I think i'll try some faction missions and see if i blow up anything cool. Like that giant satellite dish or a skyscraper or something

That, and most of the time you end up grappling out and away from the fuel shaft after ignition.

Nearly everything gives off shockwaves, just as someone else said; the radius is rubbish.

If you blow up those round gas canister things and your too close then they will send you flying. Same thing for the large silos... try it on the horse shoe shaped island with the huge military dock.

I don't find the explosion that amazing from that to be honest, i just like all the of the kills i pick up from the government soldiers stuck in it when it goes.

right ..thats my point....you have to stand right next to the explosions....almost hugging the damn vessel....a 3ft shockwave is as good as 0 shockwave if you ask me...

yea...the "horseshoe island" has massive blasts too....as good or more so than pipelines...but the rest is trash...I want to have that power at my disposal.

the pipeline shockwave is awesome, i wonder why they didn't include it in the C4 at lvl 6

you are so right , when i land with the roof of my car on a soldier he just bounced and his body is undamaged i want to see him flat and a nice stain that will stay on the sidewalk for a few more days

lol...thats a little out of context here....splashed flesh...

we mean splash damage form blasts....shell shock....compressed air that behaves like a solid...travels outward and looses momentum with distance....

DISTANCE is the key word here...its missing from the equation.

They scrapped being able to destroy buildings like skyscrapers, presumably due to a time crunch.

Agreed, I'd love there to be a mission in which one of the faction leaders reveals the government is planning to launch or nuke or send a prototype super-bomber on the faction's HQ so Rico has to either: sabotague the missile's guidance system, blowing the hidden base and island to kingdom-come or messing with the bomb to get it to destroy the bomber in mid-air.

Silos have a shockwave.
