Boomer Fall Explosion

[Keptron]

This shit got removed since some updates ago ( a long time ago ), I was going to create a thread before, but I am a lazy asshole. Anyone know why Boomer fall don't explode anymore? I don't remember to Valve have said that they deleted it, but falling from No Mercy roofs don't make me go boom

[cheeserinoo1]

Hmmmmmm...was this during demo?

Brought back with the huge update, and I have noticed myself not exploding again at heights I usually did at :(

Demo and in release I could fall and explode, now Valve screwed mah L4D with this, it would be useful against melee spammers in corner near of high roofs

[cheeserinoo1]

I tink that wen u fall and get shot the boomer juice should get on ones below

Did you know the boomers pants shield the survivors from your McDonalds?


I was teebagging someone and my goo went on all threee but him when I asploded.

Oh shit that was off topic.

on topic: they should be able to asplode from great heights if there are any survivors in their general area.

FIGHT FIGHT WITH TEH POWA .. ops, random shit thar.

I wonder why Valve have removed it, maybe because stupid noobs said: &quot;1f on3 ZOMB0HSZ D1E FROM F4LL WHY NOT ALL?&quot; ?

eDIT:
Also, boomer explosion isn't hitting people who is near sometimes since they removed the boomer fall explosion, maybe Valve shitted this a little too?

Wouldn't they just melee spam all the zombies away...?

[PSOLaguna]

Wouldn't they just melee spam all the zombies away...?

That is generally what happens.

[Braniac]

Just vomit down onto them, it's safer and more effective. Also, melee spam stinks.

Thank you.

You would fell into the corner where they are, explosion would throw them away a little from the corner.

Then they either press the S key or tilt the left thumbstick back and are in the same position before the Horde even arrives.

This was the patch, which fixed that one cannot use &quot;Kill&quot; command to explode boomer and make him bile everyone around him. This was not about the fall explosion.

[cheeserinoo1]

oh k then my bad

[Keptron]

Then they either press the S key or tilt the left thumbstick back and are in the same position before the Horde even arrives.
But it would still help, if there was hunter or smoker alive at least one survivor would get 10dmg

No No No... That was the bind x kill glitch. A self detonator to boom on people. It doesnt work since that update.

I dont think the boomer would EVER explode when it falls in versus mode.

[apimon]

actually its was like 2 days ago a bommer landed on my friends and he exploded (the boomer not my friend) and the strange thing is that he didnt get goo on him i didnt get goo on me but my other friend got.

[Papa Luigi]

well....it DOES say CLEARLY in the hand booklet (guied book) that the Boomer can die if falling from a high height...
