Strategy[]
This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.- When Boogie Bombed in a car or vehicle, the bomb will force the player hit to jump out of the vehicle.
- Throwing a Boogie Bomb at a player in a Choppa or X-4 Stormwing causes them to jump out of the vehicle and receive fall damage.
- Throwing a Boogie Bomb at a player in a B.R.U.T.E. or Salvaged B.R.U.T.E. will force the player out, rendering the mech useless.
- Throwing a Boogie Bomb at a player using a Mounted Turret will force them out of the turret, rendering it useless.
- Players affected by a Boogie Bomb also cannot re-enter vehicles until they stop dancing, so you could use the Boogie Bomb to steal someone's vehicle.
- If a Boogie Bomb is thrown in a player's radius after using an object that negates fall damage, it will cancel the zero-gravity effect, thus causing the player to be vulnerable to fall damage again.
- The Boogie Bomb's radius is about 1 tile, so make sure you're standing at least 1 tile away from your opponent to prevent yourself from being hit by the bomb.
- Once you've hit an opponent with a Boogie Bomb, it's best to follow it up with a high-damage shotgun shot to capitalize on their vulnerable state.
- If you get hit by a Boogie Bomb and you're near the storm, you can walk into the storm to take damage on purpose and negate the effect of the Boogie Bomb.
