Lobgrenuke

## What is a Lob-Grenuke?

**Lob-Grenukes** are are a variant of the Nuke. The Lob-Grenuke is a timed Nuke which you lob/throw. They do not explode on contact unless the Lob-Grenuke lands on a player when thrown. They explode after a while or when a player is in the splash damage range.

## Appearance

Lob-Grenukes look like a stick of dynamite with a timer on the front. In team games, your team's Lob-Grenukes are green and cannot kill you. The opposing team's Lob-Grenukes are red and can kill you. Be mindful that enemy players can hide Lob-Grenukes in places where they can be camoflash.

## Damage

Overall, the Lob-Grenuke is extremely powerful. If somebody is close to a Lob-Grenuke, the Lob-Grenuke will flash and emit an alarm sound, then explode, killing the player and others nearby, and deals massive splash damage around the explosion. Splash Damage caps at 80 damage. Like the Nuke, any killed players will emit an explosion from their cart, killing anybody who is close to them.

Lob-Grenukes will also explode if it is thrown and lands on top of another player.

## Pros and Cons

### *Pros*

1. Behaves like a Mine. It won't explode when hitting the ground.
2. Explodes when the Lob-Grenuke lands on a player or a player is in the Splash Damage range.
3. Will instant kill if the Lob-Grenuke lands on a player or a player is too close to the Lob-Grenuke upon explosion.
4. Powerful splash damage and long splash range.
5. Higher damage cap than the Nuke (80 damage compared to 50 damage)
6. Is a Lobber, so you can shoot the Lob-Grenuke behind walls.
7. Can Stick to walls, underside of bridges, and on roofs. Therefore it allows you to create a trap.

### *Cons*

1. Explodes quicker than a Mine. So traps will not last long when set.
2. Though it is easier to control than the Cannon, the Lob-Grenuke is hard to control over long range combat.
3. Any players with a speed boost can drive past the Lob-Grenuke and only take splash damage, and in some cases no damage. This is because the Lob-Grenuke has a fuse time before exploding.
4. Can be quite noticeable in the open or in maps where there is not a good location to hide a Lob-Grenuke.
5. Though Lobbers have a long range, the Lob-Grenuke is the shortest ranged Lobber in the game.
6. Pro Players usually know where Lob-Grenukes can be hidden and often drive away from these locations.

## Other Information and Tips

Lob-Grenukes are recommended to be used in similar fashion to Nukes. If you are in a map with a lot of bridges, ramps or undersides, like Steky's Speedway or Smash Fort, try throwing Lob-Grenukes under the Bridges. Average players can't see the Lob-Grenuke and will drive over it, and set it off, killing the player.

Another tip is to use the Lob-Grenuke in populated areas or to get a stack kill. You can also place a hidden Lob-grenuke over the tunnel in Slick'n'Slide to fool your opponents. If you want to perform a long range attack, try to predict where your target is moving, and attempt to fire your Lob-Grenuke in front of them or use as a trap. Another tip that works well is place on any reddish platforms (such as the orange bridge on Steky's Speedway). The red color will act as camouflage, luring the opponent into a trap.
