Defusal



Large Bomb Defusal

So, you found a large bomb and it's beeping. These bombs take a long time to detonate and punch a big hole into the hull. Just keep reading, and nobody will explode.

Gear

You require two essential tools to perform defusal, however, a multitool is extremely helpful in terms of identifying wires.

Multitool

For protective equipment, a bomb suit or any other protective equipment can assist you in not blowing into gibs.

Hardbombs

Listed below are the two common types of bombs you will encounter while defusing. A training bomb will only provide minor hull damage and generally not kill you. A syndicate bomb however will punch a big hole into the hull, and gib you if you are not wearing protective gear.

Arming

To arm a bomb, you can either right click and click Begin countdown[/click], or alt-click the bomb. It will begin beeping.

Time

A bomb has a limited time, at a minimum of [protodata="SyndicateBomb" comp="OnUseTimerTrigger" member="ShortestDelayOption"/] seconds and a maximum of [protodata="SyndicateBomb" comp="OnUseTimerTrigger" member="LongestDelayOption"/] seconds. You can view the timer by examining it, unless the Proceed wire is cut. Once the timer hits zero, the bomb will detonate.

Bolts

By default, once armed, a bomb will bolt itself to the ground. You must find the BOLT wire and cut it to disable the bolts, after which you can unwrench it and throw it into space.

Wires

You must access the wiring in order to defuse a bomb. You can use a screwdriver to open the access panel. Inside, you will find many types of wires. In a standard syndicate bomb, there are around 10 wires, 3 are dummy wires, 3 will cause a detonation, and the rest that weren't mentioned can be found below (alongside BOOM wires). With each wire, you can do 3 actions. You can:

• Pulse the wire with a multitool, this can help you safely identify most wires.
• Cut the wire with a wirecutter, this can trigger various effects, be cautious of cutting without reason!
• Mend the wire with a wirecutter, this can restore some functionality of the bomb if it isn't disposable.

Onward for the types of wires.

Wire Types

Activation Wire (LIVE)

• Pulse the wire: Pulsing the wire will make the wire chirp and delay the bomb by 30 seconds.
• Cut the wire: Cutting the wire will defuse the bomb if active, otherwise, will begin the timer.
• Mend the wire: Nothing.

Proceed Wire (PRCD)

• Pulse the wire: Pulsing the wire will forward the time by 15 seconds.
• Cut the wire: Cutting the wire will disable the timer display on examine.
• Mend the wire: Nothing.

Delay Wire (DLAY)

• Pulse the wire: Pulsing the delay wire will delay the bomb by 30 seconds.
• Cut the wire: Nothing.
• Mend the wire: Nothing.

Boom Wire (BOOM)

• Pulse the wire: The bomb will explode if armed!
• Cut the wire: The bomb will explode if armed! Otherwise, will disable the bomb.
• Mend the wire: Re-enables the bomb if disabled previously.

Bolt Wire (BOLT)

• Pulse the wire: Pulsing the wire will make the bolts spin.
• Cut the wire: Cutting the wire will disable the bolts, throw it into space!
• Mend the wire: Mending the wire will re-enable the bolts.

Dummy Wire

• Dummy wires don't do anything. You can pulse, cut, and mend them freely and they will not affect the bomb at all.
