Hello everybody in the CM community
Some of you know me ingame as Gillian 'Giga' Mancer
Most of you know me as the crazy asshole OT with fire on the brain, who wont hessitate to blow your face off cus you looked at me wierd
Im here today to share, to share my love for bombs and what they do and to share my nades with xenos who get to me to quickly
My nades, my rockets, my C4's, all is here
To any new comers
I highly recommand that you read through Kryths guidebook, its a mash up of everything, teaching, helping and recipes, THIS guide is more about getting my recipes out there into the world so people can use em
When i make cyclo, i make it in batches of 60u but with the taps set to 40u, 80u meth 80u oxy 80u phoron, 240u forma, add 160u Ammonia to make hex and 240u Poly to make 240u Cyclo split 4 ways thats 60u each
Though we are not here to make Cyclo, its good for beginning a round but shite for everything else except maybe used as a buffer
So lets get this out of the way, the first nade i make at every round start
----------
Blue Giant (KB)-Giga
Lets get this one out of the way, its called a blue giant becuase of its fire type, thats Ethanol, or blue fire, its called giant cus its 6 tile radius and usually has a 2 second timer on it
(KB) is a base i use, so this is KB, Cyclo Blast, I use K instead of C becuase where it would sit on the periodic table and C is copper anywhere that is useless information
The B being Blast, means that Cyclo is the highest ammount used EP provider, Again, usually useless info
Sooo whats the recipes? its pretty easy and quick to make, provided you have a competent medical staff, 4 nades at round start, to each SL or Spec
60u Cyclo
60u Ethanol
60u ANFO
Basic bitch nade, but its handy for entrence, exits and general harassment as it can knock over a Ravager for about 2 seconds, which is all the time you need to kill one
--------
Red Giant (OD)-Giga
Much like the name suggests this one also a fire nade, but with afew differances and with Iron
O For Octogen
D For Detonation
20u Napalm
20u Ethanol
10u Phoron
10u Iron
Small beaker
60u Octogen
60u Cyclo
Large Beaker
This nade is Max HE with alot of fire involved, Can light Ravagers on fire but not the queen, will destroy walls pretty easy and will one tap any T1 except a Defender, it also hurts marines like a bitch
This nade also has a Varient
If fragmentation isnt required, replace the Iron with Hydrogen, Quick and easy switch out
Those are both my most common used Nades, i do have others such as Plague Fire nades and more ANFO based nades, however they are not proven yet and i still have to get a grasp on Plague Fire
Any of my other used nades can be found in Kryths Guidebook, you will just have to skip afew pages
-------
As for C4
Usually i will make UFM's (Ultra Frag Mines) or Pure based C4, Usually Proxy unless requested to be otherwise
Many of them are Cyclo based, which requires atleast 40u Cyclo to be used, as Cyclo seems to have a knockdown/knockback property that im not quite sure i understand but what i do know is that you need a heep of it to use it properly
40u Cyclo
60u ANFO
10u Omni
10u Iron
Large Beaker
20u Ethanol
20u Napalm
10u Hydrogen
10u Omni
Small Beaker
This is the base of a Dark Star UFM It has multiple varients and is basicly an all in one kinda deal
Omni basicly means you can use whats needed, the reason its split into 2 seperate containers is that you might want to use Smoke, or Phosphorus, or make it Fireball
The point is to give it flexibility, and usually i lean towards FOB Defence, which normaly means these C4's are far apart, so more EP and Frag is needed, so i put 10 extra iron in the large beaker and 10 ANFO in the small
The only other C4 i would use is MaxCap but only when needed or specificly asked for by the Scout Spec (usually ending up being remote detonation)
Its a big bomb that doesnt let anything get away unharmed
--------
Its just called Big Bang (Pure)-Giga
As in this is designed for one purpose and thats to fuck up anything around the bomb (how does that differ from other bombs?.... use it, you will see)
80u Octogen
100u ANFO
This combination makes the falloff 14, which is stupidly small, basicly, more damage at the outskirts of the explosion
Warning to those using it, its unstable, if you set fire to it or an explosion happens near it, it will react and explode on you
-------
Right, onto Rockets, one of my favorite topics becuase the SADAR is a shitbag and doesnt know what DFR means
The Labels i use for Rockets is easy to understand
WAN-Giga Meaning Wide Area Nuke, no further explaination needed
DFR-Giga Meaning Direct Fire Rocket, Meaning it will only do damage that the target and a small area around it
These are the two
Lightning Strike DFR-Giga
ThunderClap WAN-Giga
-----
Lightning Strike DFR
150u Octogen
20u Ammonium Nitrate (Nitra)
10u Iron
The Nitra is used to increase the falloff so the bomb part doesnt go as far, the frag is for the target, if you get a direct hit with it, even a Ravager will die, you will one tap anything with this rocket except the queen (cus she's a bitch), Ravager, Preas... warriors, boilers, defenders, crushers... doesnt matter, you hit something with this and it will die, again.. except the queen
Thunderclap WAN
120u Octogen
60u ANFO
Max Cap reduced Falloff, this is easy done, hit a wall, hit your target, his the other side of hte map.. doesnt matter, you will hit something, and it will be hurting, designed not to be used around Marines (This hasn't been altered since i put it up in Kryths guidebook, though i did change the name)
Both of my main rockets, there is one left
Crackling Light WAN
You will need to get ahold of CF3 for this (CF3 = Chlorine Trifluoride) (ask a researcher or competent Doctor for it)
30u CF3
30u Napalm
20u Ethanol
10u Hydogen
90u Octogen
This is a splash rocket, meaning the explosion and resulting fire are not from the point on contact, what you get is an explosion that looks like what a water drop does when it hits the floor
I rarely make this rocket becuase you need a competent SADAR to use it right, its designed to be fired stright down a hall way into a hive, if you use it out in the open, it will set fire to the surrounding marines, use it wisely
As for my mortars. i only really have 1, its a splash nuke, Much like Crackling Light, its got the water drop effect
------
End of Days (NUKE)
Pray that your mortar team is competent
150u Octogen
60u ANFO
30u Iron
This is 24 Falloff 360 EP of "Fuck you" and 30u Iron for "NO fucks were given today"
When you really want to just say fuck to everything in the round, Xenos.. marines, the enviorment, EVERYTHING
There is another fire based mortar, however it hasnt been fully tested and im hesitent about sending it out into the world when i havent seen the results of it
Everything here in this guide is what i use, what i do, how i make it, Most nades are set to 2 seconds though i go with 3 seconds if there is a new SL on the team's (check the crew listings at round start so you know who is who)
If there are any questions or suggestions please ask and tell me, ill be happy to go through stuff with people
To any xenos that has questions, i only have one answer, you will die in my fire...... but no seriously, ask away, i dont mind
I wish you all the best in your cooking and bomb making, i hope you all appreciate eachother in these dark times, i hope your all well and ill see you on the battlefield
Much love
Gillian 'Giga' Mancer
