Obsolete: This article refers to an aspect of the game which has been removed. It is retained for historical reference only.

It will explode into fragments upon hitting a target, hitting an obstruction, or reaching its maximum range.

Exploding is an ammunition brand found solely on tomahawks. Throwing an exploding item at a target creates an unavoidable 3x3 explosion that deals 2d5 physical damage to the target and everything adjacent to it. Explosive ammo always mulches when thrown.

Strategy

Exploding tomahawks are useful for taking out evasive, fragile opponents and enemy summoners hiding behind their summons. However, be aware that the explosions they produce are loud enough to attract a lot of attention. They are also quite rare outside of the Orcish Mines.

History

Prior to 0.24, this ammunition brand could be found on tomahawks. Also, there was a rare ammunition shop that had exploding large rocks and javelins.
Prior to 0.18, exploding could generate on sling bullets.
In 0.17, exploding tomahawks were added.
Prior to 0.15, exploding darts were common.
