Duke Nukem 3D Hints
Pipebomb
This weapon is hurled at a arc, then lands on the ground. You can then detonate it by pressing the fire button again. Like other 3D games, the longer you hold down the button, the farther Duke will throw the bomb. You can also aim up or down to change the arc. There are a few interesting tricks you can do with a Pipebomb. For instance, to throw multiple Pipebombs, then set them off at once, throw a bomb, press the 6 key, throw another one, press 6, etc. Then, throw one, and press fire to make them all go off in a blaze! You can also lay Pipebombs on the floor by ducking and pressing fire.
Pipebombs are most useful is either attacking enemies at a different vertical height, or when setting traps in Dukematch.
