Why? Because it's insanely annoying for a single stalker to set it off just because there are a few corpses lying around.
Pipe Bombs - Don't allow dead specimens to detonate them
- Thread starter Benjamin
- Start date
I agree but it's very unlikely anything is going to be done about it. Perhaps if there is another community beta there is a chance.

It wouldn't matter if you only needed to change one character in the code. Changes don't come easily. Especially now when the developers are focusing on something else than killing floor.

I am not sure...
Yes, would b nice if they made corpse stop detonating mines.
BUT!
Is that then realistic?

Is it realistic that a player being near a pipe bomb doesn't detonate it?

Pipebombs are expensive in the beta. Once the updates are in the regular game, you won't see pipebomb carpets anymore. Each pipebomb will become a treasured asset to be spent in an emergency.
I remember in the beta my team spent a lot more effort protecting a pipe, as it was our last line of defense and they weren't cheap and disposable like they are now.

I cannot wait to see the beta come live, I have been waiting forever to see no more fields of blinking lights, not to mention the beeping. . .

This has nothing to do with it. I was a sharpshooter, and had only two pipe bombs on the ground.

So darn right! Rather annoying.. >< You often see a scrake falling down to death and THEN the pipe explodes.
I even think it's silly that two gorefasts can detonate a pipebomb.. Should be three or so. Or even more a siren. But well, that's how it is, I guess.

You'll want the beeping back, now that the Chainsaw has it's comeback with 1016.
Gentlemen, start your engines.

i've also gotten really annoyed with this problem.....it will only happen if the body would have triggered the detonation anyway.
the worst are dying bloats, fleshpounds, scrakes, husks and sirens because they can all set off a pipe bomb on their own. a bloat will be approaching a bomb all by himself, you shoot and kill him, but his dead body still falls near the bomb and triggers the detonation. quite annoying to have pipes wasted like that

Personally I like it being there, IMO it plays an intrinsic part to the balance of the Pipe Bombs. We all know they are crazy powerful, and the issue with them is they oddly need protecting until the big stuff can make it through to them.
So I say keep it. It forces the player to make more tactical placements so that they can reliably defend their pipe bombs from the incoming ZEDs. They must also decide whether or not its worth pushing forward to keep Zeds off the pipe bomb and risking their lives, or risking the pipe bomb getting blown up unneccesarily and losing the money.
Nah I say Keep it the same, definately.
