Hawt new screenshots in the media section!

This character has skills from the “demolition” mastery. In the screenshots you can see two skills currently named “canister bomb” and “thermite mines”. Also, as a main attack the character is using “ammo modification” with “explosive rounds”.

For anyone who is curious, thermite is an extremely hot burning combination of a metal powder and an oxidizer. The reaction was first discovered in the late 1800s. I figured that was close enough that we could co-opt it for the game. :smiley:

The mines work well for creating a barrier that will kill hordes of weak enemies or wear down slow-moving armored enemies. Naturally, they’re not as effective vs. ranged enemies who can just fire over them or destroy them from a distance or fast-moving enemies who won’t take as much damage passing through them.

The canister bomb is lobbed like a grenade into the middle of a group of enemies where it explodes and sends out several fragments that explode over a wide area. It is great for taking out hordes of zombies, grobles, or the like. It isn’t as effective against tougher enemies like the dranghoul.

The grobles have a shaman who can chain-heal and if there is more than one in a group, it is often difficult to kill anything until you dispatch the shaman. For this job the demolitionist can use either a flashbang to disrupt and confuse the shaman or a grenado to knock them down / potentially kill them.

The grenado is more of a focused explosion good again tougher single targets or tightly clustered groups. It is fun to lob over walls to kill enemies in a house before you enter, although, if the roof is intact, then you can drop some thermite mines are the door before you break it down.
