- Weapons with an explosive component deal “splash” damage. Splash damage is particularly useful against players that dodge well, and are therefore hard to hit, since near misses will also damage them. However, splash damage weapons are also dangerous since they can damage the shooter as well. For this reason, splash damage weapons are not preferred in close quarters combat. When fired, it makes sense to aim at an opponent’s feet, since the explosion from hitting the ground may damage the opponent even when the shot misses.
