Stickybombs

Stickybombs are a type of explosive device commonly found in video games, particularly in action and first-person shooter genres. Their defining characteristic is the ability to adhere to surfaces or enemies upon impact, allowing players to strategically place them for later detonation. This adhesion mechanism distinguishes them from standard thrown grenades, which typically bounce or roll after impact.

The tactical advantage of stickybombs lies in their versatility. Players can attach them to walls, floors, ceilings, or directly onto moving targets. This allows for ambushes, traps, or the quick elimination of enemies that might otherwise be difficult to hit with direct fire. Detonation is usually triggered by a separate button press or after a short delay, giving the player control over when the explosion occurs. The damage radius and explosive power of stickybombs vary depending on the specific game and the weapon they are associated with. They are often featured as a distinct weapon class or a special ammunition type, requiring players to manage limited quantities. Their presence adds a layer of strategic depth to combat encounters, encouraging creative use of the environment and enemy movement.
