A question for the Combat Engineers.....


How many Boomers does it take to destroy a Terminal? A Spawn Tube? A Generator? Thank you ahead of time for the responses.

I've taken out a generator multiple times with 8 boomers and a jammer grenade. I don't think it can be done with fewer, but I haven't tried with 6 or 7.

Terminals can be taken out with 2. Not sure about tubes since it always seems hard to place boomers around tubes.

Thanks. That was actually the question that I was hoping would be answered the most. I'll play around with the others.

It takes ten boomers to take out a fully powered Generator, trust me I know. I've done this and tested this MANY times.

3 boomers per tube. I used to love going in as an infil, then hack the term and get my agile setup. Then you set 3 infront of each tube as close as you can. Throw a jammer at the middle tube theres some bug where the jammer now has a huge radius and blows all 9 if you're lucky. Most likely you'll have 1 left over to detno though, no big deal. Just switch back to infil and go hack the base . Take out the fools who try and rehack and then you're all set to wait for backup cuz the fools can't respawn. Hopefully you've also capped the tower before entering the base.

turrets: since turrets have about 1500 armor (3 vanguard hits), it would take 4 (boomers do roughly 400 armor dmg)
