Tips

• The Sticky Bomb is basically a frag grenade (baseline/BFB), flashbang (Flashbang) or EMP grenade (Disruptor) on a stick. Like the First Aid skill is to medkits, the Sticky Bomb is a good alternative source for ordnance so as to make your grenade supply last longer.
• The Sticky Bomb is useful for softening up veterans as well as causing panic amongst the enemy. For best results, try sticking the bomb directly onto an enemy, as it will inflict full damage upon them once detonated.

• The Sticky Bomb fulfulls multiple purposes and is a versatile skill. The baseline bomb and the BFB mod are for those who want raw damage, while the Flashbang and Disruptor mods can provide critical crowd control without tapping into your precious supply of grenades, be it by stunning enemies or destroying any active skills they're using. If you know what sorts of enemies you're going to run into, plan ahead and change the bomb's mod ahead of time to take advantage.

Sticky Bomb Mod - Not present in the game

• This skill cannot do headshot damage.
• If the Sticky Bomb is attached to an enemy, the victim may pull it off them and throw it away if not detonated. The higher rank the enemy, the quicker they can remove the bomb. The bomb will still be active even when removed, so it can still be detonated.
• The Sticky Bomb cannot be detonated mid-flight. This includes while it's sailing through the air or when an enemy pulls the bomb off their person and throws it away.
• This Skill uses the same launcher as the First Aid and Smart Cover skills.
• Before Update 1.6, the Sticky Bomb detonates instantly when the key is pressed
  • In Update 1.6, that has changed to having a 1-second delay before exploding.
    • This change was reverted in Update 1.8.
• Before Update 1.6, Mod 3 was known as the Proximity Fuse, exploding when a hostile enters the explosion radius.
• There is a skill mod that is not available in the final game.
