Exploding Trap Bombs is a throwing weapon that appears in Dying Light. The blueprint is learned upon unlocking the Trap Bombs skill
Overview
Exploding Trap Bombs out of the four trap bombs boasts the highest damage, to compensate for the lack of special effects. Once thrown, it will begin attracting nearby Infected. Once it stops, the bomb will explode. There are a few uses for this weapon when compared to other trap bombs, most of which are applicable against hordes and tough enemies. Due to this weapon's damage, it is perfectly capable of instantly killing standard Biters and Virals.
It is particularly useful against Goons and Demolishers, due to the slow speed of the former and the latter's tendency of standing still and tossing boulders. Its ability to kill hordes around said enemies makes it particularly useful against them. As an added bonus, they can also give the player some breathing room if they wish to heal or consume boosters. Since humans do not run away from these even when thrown near them, they can be pretty useful in killing them in cover. Just keep in mind that they are thrown in an arc and do not attract humans.
Upon being thrown, an icon may appear on screen to alert the player if they are too close to the blast radius of the bomb. It's important to take mind of this alert as this weapon can harm players when they are standing too close to it. Always keep in mind that it's still an explosive, it can harm the player and it makes lots of noise so use it at your own risk
