Nobelisk

The Nobelisk is an explosive weapon that blows up in a 7.5 meters radius destroying cracked boulders, rocks and all sort of vegetation and alien life, dealing up to 50 damage. Damage quickly falls off the farther you go from the center of the explosion, in fact, it is almost impossible to receive full 50 points of damage because even standing on top of the nobelisk it doesn't deal full damage. It can only be thrown using a as it serves as its ammo.

Nobelisk can be thrown multiple times to create chains of explosions. This can be useful for clearing large areas of vegetation or lure multiple aggressive NPCs into the blast radius. The throwing range can be adjusted by holding down the left mouse button.

Nobelisks stick to any surface or creature they land on. Thrown Nobelisks cannot be retrieved in any manner.

When using it, it makes a red dome that disappears very quickly and makes particles of dust from the explosion. The Nobelisk can be detonated using the by left-clicking once to drop it and right-click to explode. Multiple Nobelisks can be thrown by reloading the Nobelisk Detonator without detonating. There doesn't appear to be a limit on how many Nobelisks can be thrown at once. Once set to detonate, they will all explode in the order they were thrown.

It can be crafted at the Equipment Workshop after completing the Tier 4 Milestone: Explosives.

Sticking a Nobelisk on a valid target deals minor damage of 1 (1/100 of Engineer HP).

Trivia

 * The Engineer will take the more damage from the explosion the closer her feet are to the Nobelisk. Standing right on top of one at the time of the explosion deals 47 damage.
 * Nobelisk thrown to the face of a charging Hog or Alpha Hog will stagger them and stop the charge, just like any other mean of damage. This will also scare off the Land Whale.
 * It seems that aliens take the most damage from the explosion at the center of their body. The Land Whale takes ~20 damage if Nobelisk is attached to its leg, ~27 to its head or 'tail' and ~34 damage to its chest.
 * A single, well placed Nobelisk can one-shot a Hog or a Spitter.
 * All types of Spitters can ignite a Nobelisk when their fire projectile collides with it. Other Nobelisks stay intact.
 * The name 'Nobelisk' may refer to Alfred Nobel, the inventor of Dynamite.
