Dynamite

About Dynamite

Dynamite is an explosive material based on nitroglycerin, using diatomaceous earth. Dynamite was invented by the Swedish chemist and engineer Alfred Nobel in Geesthacht, Germany, and patented in 1867. Its name was coined by Nobel from the Ancient Greek word δύναμις dýnamis, meaning "power". Dynamite is mainly used in the mining, quarrying, construction, and demolition industries, and it has had some historical usage in warfare. As evidence from Fistful of Frags.

In Fistful of Frags

Dynamite is a secondary weapon that you can choose from the load out page. The dynamite in Fistful of Frags, after lit, will go off in 5 to 6 seconds. You also have the ability to "cook" the dynamite in your hand so when you throw it it blows up quicker. From spawn you will receive two regular dynamites to use. Getting a Kill with a dynamite stick will grant you a big +12 Notoriety. A target standing right on top of a lit dynamite when it explodes will deal a huge 140 damage. (This will often be less as they get further away from the blast and the damage to yourself is only 103). In the Red Chests you can also find Black Dynamite. If you choose the black dynamite you will be given four sticks instead of two. Some people say there's no difference in red or black dynamite - but there is: Black dynamite has a larger blast radius, deals 225 damage instead of 140 (173 to yourself) and on the visual side of things, Has a blacker smoke cloud when exploded. Black Dynamite will also give a bigger +14 Notoriety Per Kill.
