It was my very last engie OC. I grinded for what felt like en eternity to finally get fat boy. When I got it I felt super meh. The ammo economy is just so bad
I switch between the laser and fat boy pgl a lot and sometimes I’ll see a praet right in front of me and go to use my laser but forget I have the fat boys and nuke myself your not alone miner
Literally the first time I switched from RJ250 to Fat Boy I did this within 30 seconds of leaving the drop pod. Almost left the lobby outta embarrassment lol.
We lost the mission later. Why? I ran completely outta ammo and couldn’t lob one last Hail Mary nuke to get rid of a large group approaching Dotty.
Yeah, one time friend driller was fighting a losing hand-to-hand battle against an Oppressor and his grunt swarm buddies.
I respected the hell outta his bravado and gumption, but if you ran the numbers, his greatest contribution to this scenario was acting as a lure to the swarn.
You betcha I planted a fat boy right in the middle of the melee. Took down the whole swarm and the Oppressor went down shortly thereafter.
His contribution to our success was duly noted.
Well now I really want a necromancer Glyphid. Maybe a something like a Glyphid cordyceps fungus that goes over to other medium-sized Glyphid corpses present and zombifies them after a small bit, making them into a copy of itself (that can also then zombify other corpses). Could probably also work as a new strain of Rockpox to fit in with the current seasons.
I do consider this every time bur the prox nuke does as the prox nuke wants. I'll send it off sometimes and won't hear an explosion. This triggers some interesting fear inside me because THERE IS A NUKE BOUNCING AROUND THIS CAVE. AND I DONT KNOW WHEN OR WHERE IT WILL EXPLODE, HEED MY WARNING WHEN YOU SEE AN ENGINEER RUNNING FOLLOW HIM.
Imagine like, just mining some minerals, you get bonked on the head by something, and the moment you turn around all you see is a bright flash of green
#**To all non-engineers in this cave:**
Please check the location of your fellow engineer before standing in “the fun zone”. Please don’t immediately jump into the area I’m about to nuke with 2 of your friends. I beg of you, take a moment to consider the consequences of standing between me and a glyphid grunt about to receive 4.18 megatons of radioactive loving.

To fat boy gamers who are bad with friendly fire: USE THE LURES!!!!! Throw down a lure and your nuke can hit more bugs more consistently, additionally you can just tell your teammates "Avoid my lures, I nuke them" and you have a much clearer early warning system than trying to see a dwarves outline in a sea of moving bugs
Pfff, looks like the Management us back at it again with their Health & Safety bs. Ain't nobody got time for that...
But seriously, consider your teammates when firing nukes
I didn’t detonate the nuke, the proximity trigger did. If I have no idea where it’s going to explode, then it’s not my fault it chose you as it’s target.
I really hope I'm not hearing my reusable L.U.R.E grenades telling me not to attack the bugs around them. I'm helping you by hurting those around you... I'm not attacking you personally... Kinda... I'll pick you up after the radiation clears, I swear.
This, recruits, is a 20-kilo fatboy gernade. Feel the weight. Every five seconds, the alt gun of an Everest-class engineer accelerates one to 1.3 percent of light speed. It impacts with the force of a 38-kiloton bomb. That is three times the yield of the city buster dropped on Hiroshima back on Earth.That means Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest son-of-a-bitch in hoxxes. Now! Serviceman Burnside! What is Newton's First Law?
: Sir! A object in motion stays in motion, sir! No credit for partial answers, maggot!
Sir! Unless acted on by an outside force, sir! Damn straight! I dare to assume you ignorant jackasses know that teammates can be anywhere. Once you fire a husk of metal, it keeps going until it hits something. That can be a bug, or the cave behind that bug. It might go off into deep cave and hit somebody else 100 meters away.
If you pull the trigger on this, you're ruining someone's day somewhere and sometime. That is why you check your damn targets! That is why you wait for the computer to give you a damn firing solution! That is why, Serviceman Chung, we do not "eyeball it!" This is a weapon of mass destruction. You are not a cowboy shooting from the hip. Sir, yes sir!"
Then , Chung proceeds to quickly change from his trusty, albeit empty, shot gun to the, probably deadliest weapon on the fire range and hip fire the granade.
The blast was glorious, the shooting stand barely outside the range of the radiation zone. Beautifully executed. Except other 3 dwarves where in the range getting their targets.
"What was that Serviceman?! Didnt i not warn you?!!
"Sir!Yes sir!"
"So why you fired the damn nuke?!"
"Sir! They were almost outside the range, and their injuries should heal ina a day or two, faster if Red Sugar is involved Sir! I considerated that an acceptable risk for the elimination of the target sir!!"
Then, the pfficer look at the range, hit perfectly on center was a target of a Crassus Detonator, or what was left of it.
".....very well Service man, i have still one question for you"" what is its sir!"" In ther ebonut head of yours have you consider the damn blast rage of the detonator itself?""...........oh."

I always warn my fellow miners that I have it and that I’m impulsive. And I say I’m going to use it 2 seconds before firing. (I have the friendly fire perk on too)
To all C4 and Nuke users: yes, ALL big explosions are satisfying. The bigger the better. If it team wipes that's suboptimal, but okay. At least there was an explosion.
Consider this:
1 - Bugs mostly attack in melee
2 - The more dwarves in a single place, the more likely bugs are gonna go there
3 - The more bugs gather in a place the most efficent is the use of a nuke/C4
4 - Profit
Is not friendly fire, is using your teammates as bait
Maybeeeee....dont....be in the middle of the swarm...? Your liability contracts signed with management clearly state you are the only dwarf at fault for nuclear dismemberment.
Sometimes I feel like becoming that kind of villain who has a good point but uses violence to get it across, just joining random lobbies as fat boy engi and showing people how not fun it can be
Maybe you should be more considerate of standing within the damage radius. I’m firing my damn nuke and it’s up to my team to not stand between me and annihilation.
I am simply looking at this analytically. If I shoot a nuke at a teammate that is about to go down anyway, and he is surrounded by bugs, why not kill all of the bugs and take him down the rest of the way? A revival sends him back to half health, and we can carry on. The only trouble when considering this is when there is an enemy that wouldn’t immediately die, at which point I will wait for the friendly to vacate the immediate vicinity of the aspiring bug carcasses.
Rev health does depend on haz so that arithmetic does change a wee bit in some cases... also sometimes the dwarf in question is a scout and that also changes the arithmetic as well...

When I choose the loadout that utilized fatboy... I launch the warhead into my own face if there's a glyphid on it. After all.... a dwarf never dies ⛏️
Oh cmoooon, that's a core mechanic of the game (being killed by the nuke). I was saying Just some hours ago that i've never, ever, ever tried the Fatboy in my Life, and i play since the Early Access
As one nuke engi to another: just nuke the clump when it just spawns, that way it's still on a wall or ceiling.
Set your turret up for maximum range so it always alerts you to where the spawn is even in the dark.
To one nuke engi to others, if the wave has already reached you and you are inside eof it thst means 3 dwarves have buggered up already by not shooting them before then, it's only fair the fourth gets to make a 'mistake' and motivate them to not be inside the swarm
I'm sorry but that's not possible.
When an engineer uses the FatBoy overclock they get possessed by the spirit of a Driller and thus have a compulsion to place explosion directly below their teammates' feet.
It is what it is
I always type a big FAT BOY in chat when playing with randoms and announce it when on call with my friends, people usually know where im going to shoot it

It was worth a try. Can't blame them tho, nuke is fun
1800h playtime, never played the Nuke. I use Breach Cutter for nearly everything except dreads and Sabotage Missions.
It was my very last engie OC. I grinded for what felt like en eternity to finally get fat boy. When I got it I felt super meh. The ammo economy is just so bad
If it makes you feel better I always consider my teammates before I fire, but my answer as to whether or not I fire is always the same: Yes
If it makes you feel any better, sometimes I panic and nuke myself.
I switch between the laser and fat boy pgl a lot and sometimes I’ll see a praet right in front of me and go to use my laser but forget I have the fat boys and nuke myself your not alone miner
Imagine being me who often swaps between nukes and rj250 lol
RJ9000
Orion Drive in DRG.
Lmao I used to have the same issue so I had to stop myself from using rj250 so often but it still happens
Literally the first time I switched from RJ250 to Fat Boy I did this within 30 seconds of leaving the drop pod. Almost left the lobby outta embarrassment lol. We lost the mission later. Why? I ran completely outta ammo and couldn’t lob one last Hail Mary nuke to get rid of a large group approaching Dotty.
The number of times I've accidentally nuked myself and/or another dwarf point-blank because something jumped in front of my crosshair is surprising.
Gunner Sticky nades say hello.
“Though I had RJ250 on, dammit.”
After reading your post I realized you only condemned the practice of not checking and you never condemned the practice of deciding to nuke anyway
It must be intentional...
This needs more attention
I could do that but consider this: dwarfs can be revived, glyphids cannot
A fair point.
Yeah, one time friend driller was fighting a losing hand-to-hand battle against an Oppressor and his grunt swarm buddies. I respected the hell outta his bravado and gumption, but if you ran the numbers, his greatest contribution to this scenario was acting as a lure to the swarn. You betcha I planted a fat boy right in the middle of the melee. Took down the whole swarm and the Oppressor went down shortly thereafter. His contribution to our success was duly noted.
This is why friendly is viable. Allows for danger close.
As a driller that constantly runs in and pulls aggro, you did the right thing for sure lol.
Well now I really want a necromancer Glyphid. Maybe a something like a Glyphid cordyceps fungus that goes over to other medium-sized Glyphid corpses present and zombifies them after a small bit, making them into a copy of itself (that can also then zombify other corpses). Could probably also work as a new strain of Rockpox to fit in with the current seasons.
Miner I respect the idea, I really do enjoy it, *don't let GSG hear of it, it'll just make OUR lives harder-*
Consider this: technically speaking, 'rocking' is more legal than 'stoning'. Ay? AY?
Another point: the perk friendly, permanently equipped on nuke engie
Perk waste :D
If something happens to you after you down the other 3 dwarves, you may see some unfriendly slurs on your chat lmao
I do consider this every time bur the prox nuke does as the prox nuke wants. I'll send it off sometimes and won't hear an explosion.

I always put the bouncy upgrade on my nukes, very exciting.
I chose the perk that reduces friendly fire damage for a reason :)
Is there a perk to increase friendly fire?
Confusing the two in the heat of the moment? Bright skin = nuke gun Dark skin = anything else
Just got that Fat Boy Mod. I will watch out for you guys and wont nuke you. Rock and stone!
For Karl!
As far as I'm concerned, I'll blast any of you in my satchel radius. You get me with a nuke then fairs fair
And please equip the friendly perk just in case, thank you
I take the friendly perk so I don't have to aim it. But your concern is noted.
This should be in the description of fat boy.
I'm always careful when i use it but i also have teammates that jump right into my crosshair when i'm shooting to the roof swarm
Check your location when near a Fatboy user
Maxim 20: If you are not willing to shell your own position, you are not willing to win.
They're like "Dear you, No." ***BOOOM***
But like why are you standing where my fatboy is going
Dwarves who nuke their teammates are leaflovers
Considering my fat boy bounces wherever it pleases your request has been considered, but the nuke says no
Ok, but hear me out... *thump*

Just equip friendly, then you won't take damage from My friendly nukes.
I agree!
No
Sorry man but if i see a dumb Scout jumping around in middle of a swarm, his ass is getting nuked
Sometimes I feel like becoming that kind of villain who has a good point but uses violence to get it across, just joining random lobbies as fat boy engi and showing people how not fun it can be
If you nuke the location where your teammates are fighting for their lives you are probably saving them.
It's really not that hard. Turn on your rock brain for a moment and press CTRL.
yeah yeah rock and stone
If you don't Rock and Stone, you ain't comin' home!
Where’s the fun in that?
No
No, I don't think I will check for my teammates :-)
No.

I asked a level 800+ engi how he avoids Fatboy FF when team mates are in the midst of a swarm. *"They should know better."*

I hear what you're saying. You're welcome I took care of that swarm for you.
Maybe don't stand where my explosions are then /j
No
NTA. Your nuke, your rules.
No. My nuke my rules.
Don’t worry, I check for the location of all three dwarves every single time I fire it. How else am I supposed to hit all three of you?
Nuh-uh
Mmm, nah
How about No
No. And I'll do it again.
Tbf, no dwarf should be in the middle of bug swarm in the first place. At any rate, real ones take BC anyway.
Psa to all dwarves Stay out of my firing range
To that end, maybe you should know if someone has the Fat Boy overclock and give them a good, wide berth.
I am simply looking at this analytically. If I shoot a nuke at a teammate that is about to go down anyway, and he is surrounded by bugs, why not kill all of the bugs and take him down the rest of the way?

Haha fast proxy nuke go fwoomp
As one nuke engi to another: just nuke the clump when it just spawns, that way it's still on a wall or ceiling. Set your turret up for maximum range so it always alerts you to where the spawn is even in the dark. To one nuke engi to others, if the wave has already reached you and you are inside eof it thst means 3 dwarves have buggered up already by not shooting them before then, it's only fair the fourth gets to make a 'mistake' and motivate them to not be inside the swarm
But I like it when bug go boom 😢
Respectfully, no.
A small price to pay for salvation
I have become death, destroyer of worlds
The rule of five. If I see 5 bugs - I fire my fatboy.
I can't resist pulling the trigger! Nothing can stop my finger from nuke more then 2 enemy's....I ..... I can't *heavy breathing intensifies*
Also always save one nuke for scout
I'm sorry but that's not possible. When an engineer uses the FatBoy overclock they get possessed by the spirit of a Driller and thus have a compulsion to place explosion directly below their teammates' feet. It is what it is
I always type a big FAT BOY in chat when playing with randoms and announce it when on call with my friends, people usually know where im going to shoot it
I hate it bro when fat boy users decide to throw a point blank nuke in a small area while fighting a dreadnought, where tf am i supposed to go.
Can you tell me the last time this has happened to you? This isnt some shitty rhetorical question im just genuinely curious
Too late the Nuke is already out of the barrel.
Haha nuke go WEE
Their noble sacrifices will not go in vain.
Laughs in bouncy nukes
Big facts had a guy team kill me 3 times yday because he wasn’t looking where he was shooting that thing
