ArPQ Bombs

What determines when they go off? Some times it's two seconds some times in instant. <_<

I think the bombs share a timer. So, if you lay one bomb, and then lay another one a second later, both bombs will explode at the same time.

It confused me when I first did the ac. (I don't call it a pq because it's completely not a pq >.>)

Yea, I've noticed that. Towards the end of a TW game I have 15 bombs. Spam them all at once and there's only one boom animation. D; (that I can see. In reality it just stacks... I think)
Be nice to have an idea how that works though... Freaking annoying when you go from 1st to 4th from two damn good-luck bombs.

They go off exactly at the start of a spawn timer. This is crucial if you want to consistently win ariant coliseum matches since you'll be able to know when bombs go off. Especially when you're matched with strong opponents, scorpions will be killed and captured very quickly, so it'll be quite easy to tell when a spawn cycle will start, letting you lay a bomb and immediately use a teleporter scorpion, making it practically inescapable for your target. This is also the best way to drop a bomb from a rope if an opponent is walking towards it.

Just curious, how much is the spawn timer? 5 seconds?

If you wanna be really hardcore, get a timer/metronome/something and make it beep (or otherwise notify you) once every 5 seconds.

In my own little corner, I'm seeing respawn every 10 seconds ish. I planted a bomb right after one respawn and it lived for three seconds.

Well, a spawn tick and a scorpion spawn tick aren't always the same thing. If the map isn't emptied fast enough, the spawn won't be replenished every tick.

Is the spawn tick server sided? ie, would gen on a pServer clear the map fast enough? ;o

Yeah, it's server sided.

Aww, so no pServer replication? :[

What about when you first spawn? Would clocking that work? Or is it best to get in a room of 6 and hit Fraps? xD
