High Explosive

  • Power: +++++++
    Range: ++
    Energy Consumption: +++
    Cost: 48000

    This should be standard equipment. It's very effective against buildings, cars. It's also fun if you can lure a large group of enemies near it when it explodes. I did not find it very effective against tanks and spiders, but it's effective on the other vehicles. Note that you can always let the explosive explode before the timer reaches zero by firing some launcher rockets at it. This is very helpful when you see that your timing of the explosive is not right.
