With the exception of grenades for obvious reasons all explosive weapons need some type of minimum distance they need to fly before they explode for full damage. Mortars are the primary culprit here. Just randomly firing them indoors and killing everything because of the massive damage they do. They need some type of minimum height they need to fly before they arm and do any damage. This will prevent lobbing them down hallways to 1 shot everything. Spinfusors need the same thing but instead of height just distance traveled before they do full damage. It doesn't need to be a 100% or 0% change it can be linear based on travel distance.

That would be perfect also. If they don't explode at full damage you don't get as much of a disk jump or any at all. Two bird with one stone. I am a balance genius.

That makes sense, the disks turn faster the further they travel, the explosion itself is harmless, the rotation is deadly. Well then the disks should get faster the further they travel and because of their rotation their radius should increase leading in a huge blue disk flying at high speed. And mortars dont like to explode at close range, because they dont want to hurt their user, thats why if you shot your mortar at your feets it should disappear and fill ur ammo again. _________________

Explosives need a minimum arm distance.

Indoor fights are literally retarded. Explosives flying everywhere skillless s***. With the exception of grenades for obvious reasons all explosive weapons need some type of minimum distance they need to fly before they explode for full damage.

Mortars are the primary culprit here. Just randomly firing them indoors and killing everything because of the massive damage they do. They need some type of minimum height they need to fly before they arm and do any damage. This will prevent lobbing them down hallways to 1 shot everything.

Spinfusors need the same thing but instead of height just distance traveled before they do full damage.

It doesn't need to be a 100% or 0% change it can be linear based on travel distance.
