Nobelisk

The Nobelisk is the ammo for Nobelisk Detonator. It is an explosive weapon that blows up cracked boulders, rocks and all sort of vegetation and alien life, dealing up to 50 damage. The damage quickly falls off the farther you go from the center of the explosion.If a Nobelisk is detonated from a large distance (unloading it) the Nobelisk can explode but not do any damage.

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. Nobelisk will stick to any surface it touches when thrown. Thrown Nobelisks cannot be retrieved in any manner.

When using it, it makes an red dome that disappears very quickly and makes particle of dust from the explosion. The Nobelisk can explode using the by left clicking once to drop it and right click to explode.

Be careful around Alpha Spitters as at least the ones emitting fireballs appear to let thrown explosives blow up, if and when they are hit.

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

Sticking a nobelisk on a valid target deals a minor damage of 1 (1% of engineer HP).

Trivia

 * 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. This will also scare off the Land Whale Long-legs
 * 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
 * Single well placed Nobelisk can one-shot a Hog or a Spitter.
 * The name 'Nobelisk' may refer to Alfred Nobel, the inventor of Dynamite.
