The Nobelisk Detonator is a piece of handheld equipment used to detonate Nobelisks. They create explosions, which can be used to remove cracked boulders, Spore Flowers, Gas Pillars, Flora and Fauna.

Usage

Equipment

As with other equipment, Nobelisk Detonators have to be equipped to be used. Nobelisks serve as 'ammo' for the Detonator and have to be reloaded with R for arming. Holding R allows to select the ammo type.

Nobelisks can be thrown with Left, and holding down allows throwing farther. Running forward while throwing will increase the throw range. Multiple Nobelisks can be deployed before exploding them, by reloading instead of detonating. Nobelisks will stick to any surface they touch when thrown, including creatures and other Nobelisks. A thrown Nobelisk cannot be retrieved in any way.

After at least one Nobelisk has been thrown, Right is used to detonate. Multiple thrown Nobelisks will be detonated to create chains of explosions. Alternatively, striking a Nobelisk with any weapon (or having it hit by a Spitter spit) will detonate only that one.

Nobelisk behavior

When detonated, each Nobelisk blows up in a 7.5-meter radius, dealing up to 50 damage at the center. Damage quickly falls off farther from the center of the explosion, making it almost impossible to deal the full 50 points of damage due to the collision box between it and the target. Therefore, at least 3 Nobelisk explosions are required to kill a fully-healed pioneer.

Sticking a Nobelisk on a valid target will cause minor damage of 1 (1/100 of pioneer HP). If the creature or object the Nobelisk is stuck to dies or is destroyed, the Nobelisk will disappear. Sticking a Nobelisk to a building then dismantling the building will cause the Nobelisk to stay in mid-air. Sticking it to a moving vehicle, including the HUB's FICSIT Freighter, will follow the vehicle.

Cracked boulders, Spore Flowers and Gas Pillars can only be destroyed using Nobelisks. Nobelisks do not damage player structures, vehicles, or alter the terrain (other than foliage and select small rocks).

Cluster Nobelisk explodes at the center, then creates 5 secondary explosions in a star shape. Nuke Nobelisk can one-shot Pioneers in the explosion radius. It also deals lingering radiation damage, which can be outpaced by Pioneer's emergency health regen, however.

The total number of chained Nobelisk explosions allowed is 255 (equal to hexadecimal FF), which means using more then 255 in one operation will require multiple uses of the Nobelisk Detonator.[1]

Explosion cover

The damage of a Nobelisk can be blocked by any physical cover such as Walls, Conveyor Lift and Tree. The knock-back effect, however, can still pass through.

 Nobelisk can be sunk into the AWESOME Sink.png AWESOME Sink to yield 152 points.
 Gas Nobelisk can be sunk into the AWESOME Sink.png AWESOME Sink to yield 544 points.
 Pulse Nobelisk can be sunk into the AWESOME Sink.png AWESOME Sink to yield 1,533 points.
 Cluster Nobelisk can be sunk into the AWESOME Sink.png AWESOME Sink to yield 1,376 points.
 Nuke Nobelisk can be sunk into the AWESOME Sink.png AWESOME Sink to yield 19,600 points.

Tips

  • Standing on high ground and aiming at 30 to 45 degrees upward can result in a very long throw.
  • Be careful around Spitters and Alpha Spitters as their spits will detonate thrown Nobelisks, as mentioned above.
  • When descending midair, it can be very hard to aim the throw as the pioneer's velocity is added to the Nobelisk.
  • When multiple Nobelisks are placed they will explode in a rapid series instead of all at once which allows you to create a very rudimentary form of propulsion by attaching a large number of Nobelisks to the back of a vehicle. It is possible to attach them directly to a person but that will kill you mid-flight so its best to attach them to a vehicle. When using this method of transportation make sure that all your Nobelisks are connected to the vehicle itself and not other Nobelisks or else it will cut the "engine" and stop working.
  • Another--and arguably more amusing--form is to place a large number of Nobelisks at your feet and hit them with a Xeno-zapper; this will detonate all the Nobelisks at once and cause you to rocket into the sky.
    • This can be used with Pulse Nobelisks for long distance travel, especially in conjunction with Jetpacks and Parachutes. Approximately 7-9 will get the player to any point on the map with some practice.

Trivia

  • Nobelisks thrown to the face of a charging Hog or Alpha Hog will stagger them and stop the charge, just like the Xeno-Zapper or Xeno-Basher do. This will also scare off the Land Whale.
  • It seems that aliens receive more damage from an explosion the closer it is to the center of their body. The Land Whale takes ~20 damage if a regular Nobelisk is attached to its leg, ~27 to its head or tail, and ~34 damage to its chest.
    • Despite this, pioneers will take more damage from an explosion the closer the feet are to the Nobelisk. Standing right on top of one at the time of the explosion deals 47 damage.
  • A single, well placed Nobelisk can one-shot a Hog or a Spitter.
  • The name 'Nobelisk' may refer to Alfred Nobel, the inventor of Dynamite.
  • When detonating a Nobelisk, it makes red spheres that disappear very quickly and a cloud of dust from the explosion.

Current Issue

Unexploded Nobelisks will still appear upon reload of Game Save and will automatically explode shortly after starting gameplay. After placing one (or more) Nobelisks and using the Nobelisk Detonator, at the location where the unexploded Nobelisks were upon Game Save load, you will see an "explosion".[2][3]
