Insurgent faction arty IED kit bug

[TheComedian]

This can be recreated on any insurgency that features insurgent faction IED pickup kit (fallujah west, al basrah).

The weapon menu shows 2 different colored IED selections, but if you place one arty IED then the other color option is disabled.

This makes it unable to place 2 different artillery IED's as intended by developers.

[Spec]

You can refill your ammo and then place the second one iirc. It's supposed to allow you to place two, while limiting you to only carry one at a time. Makes setting up an ambush require a bit more work since you need an ammo source but shouldn't let it give away your position, hence you need proper planning.

^^^ this is correct.


you need to refill your ammo to get the second and place it under a different fuse....or place it under the same fuse for twice the boom.

Ive had 2 set up on each fuse at one point (im not quite sure what max is 5 iirc)

Ah tnx I thought this was bugged. Will try it out ASAP. Case closed.

I can confirm up to five artillery IED's can be placed and successfully detonated per color channel. This takes quite a bit of ammo to accomplish however, involving either multiple trips back to a cache or multiple supply runs with an ammo truck. I have not tested more than five IED's at once.
