Disguised IED? Ehy not?

Post » Sat Aug 06, 2011 11:41 am

with as much "junk" laying around in the Fallout Universe, why hasn't anyone created a Cheap Detonated IED?

C4 is quite nice when using it for Guerrilla fighting, but the Cost is what makes me :brokencomputer:

Also, I would like to be able to create an IED out of Bent tin cans. Disguise yourself as NCR/Legion/Khan etc.. Drop the IED near either high Traffic areas or very important Individuals camp Tents or whatever. Walk away set your detonator out, wait for the intended targets and... boom... I think a "junk IED" that costs around $100-$250 Caps would be well worth its weight. Make it have a low Blast Radius and much weaker then C4, so if you need to "make a scene" the C4 is still far superior, but for intended targets it would be a lot better.

The Time Bomb is not bad, but only has 15sec. C4 is amazing but is expensive... Why not a cheap mix of the both?

Stuff it inside a Teddy Bear, Bent Tin can, 5mm Ammo Box, Toy Car, Inside clothing etc...

Though the cherry bombs are hard to come by the bottlecap mine is certainly improvised explosive device.

There motion Censored. I'm looking for something that is "user detonated" for instance...

I want to Effectively kill a Squad of NCR/Legion on patrol. If the Frag Mine, or bottle Cap mine is laid on the ground it may only kill 1-3 of the 5. If "I" could detonate it, let a few walk by it and then Set the bomb off, effectively killing all or at least 4/5

Drop dynamite on a path, run away and shoot it for manual detonation.

I usually just do that, but I'd rather just use a remote. I could be hidden behind a rock, or some other form of cover, and they wont even know what hit them, with a gun it can miss as well. ;)

Well there is a couple of mailbox bombs in the game, such a shame I wasn't actually able to create my own though :(

(Not sure where I'd put one to be effective though, but still...)

^fiend Territory, have a syringe pocking out of the box, and... when they go to open the box.. boom.. ;)

I'm trying to make my "Guerrilla" Style Fighter. and I thought IED would be extremely effective.

That would be pretty cool to have an IED that is remote detonated that you can hide in objects, maybe we'll get it in LR? Although I doubt it.
