Description
Bangers are explosive, skull-like creatures that have two legs and sticks of dynamite forced into their craniums. They usually appear in groups of three or more and remain close together while roaming the level.
Explosive Behavior :
Should a Banger spot a player or suffer any kind of damage, its fuse lights up, and it starts aggressively rushing toward the player closest to it. Once set off, the fuse cannot be put out, and the Banger will detonate after about 14–15 seconds. If it's defeated while its fuse is burning, it will explode immediately, which makes them quite hazardous to attack without caution.
Explosion Mechanics :
Banger explosions will launch players caught in the blast and inflict up to 30 damage if the player is too near. They also stun players for 3 seconds, leaving them exposed to other dangers. The detonation causes 10 damage to monsters and stuns them for 5 seconds, making Bangers surprisingly useful as makeshift weapons. They use three distinct audio cues during their fuse:
-
Weak fuse (~10 seconds left)
-
Strong fuse (~4 seconds left)
-
Final yell right before detonation
Thrown Damage :
When they are thrown, Bangers inflict 0/5/10/15 damage to foes, the amount depending on their speed, but deal no damage to players. Upon hitting a surface, they can briefly stun players, but they do not stun enemies in this manner.
Appearance :
The Banger is simply a human skull with two feet and three sticks of dynamite shoved into its cranium. It has two red pupils in the center of its empty black eyes.
Tips & Strategies
- Maintain Your Distance: If a squad of Bangers is pursuing you, be certain to move away from both teammates and valuables to prevent accidental damage when they detonate.
- Look Out for the Blast Cue: Once the fuse is ignited, conserve your stamina and listen for their final shriek—that serves as your warning to sprint or take cover before the explosion occurs.
- Break Aggro by Hiding: If you conceal yourself beneath furniture and out of their sight, Bangers will cease chasing you, even if their fuse is actively burning. Nonetheless, they will still explode nearby, which could be harmful to nearby Valuables, depending on the exact circumstances.
- Utilize Staircases to Your Benefit: Bangers are slowed down on stairs because they must hop up each individual step. Gaining sufficient vertical distance can stop them from reaching you before they blow up.
- Chain Reactions Pose a Risk: Detonations from one Banger are capable of igniting others nearby and even launching them in unexpected directions, including upwards—this makes taking cover above them hazardous.
