Q: In Level 03, left and right of the exit there are two doors that the player cannot open. I went "ah-hah! They open when the reactor is destroyed, releasing green killbots." So I planted my bombs in front of the doors and went to the reactor room.

When I come back, the green killbots are there, but no sign of my bombs. I had spread them out nicely so they would explode in a firestorm when I pelt them with the Vulcan.

Descent Y U FOIL MY BRILLIANT STRATEGY?

Seriously, why do they disappear? Do the robots dismantle the bombs when you aren't looking?

P.S.: I played this back in 1996. Now playing the DXX-Rebirth source port.
Attachment: MyFaceWhen I realize how much more enjoyable it is at 1680 x 1050 at constant 60 FPS.
Also suddenly I'm much better at it! I don't get stuck running in circles anymore.

LOL! Lovely picture!! ;)

The bombs will explode on their own after a certain amount of time...so if it took you awhile to kill the reactor after planting them, they might have blown up.

Also they might not have been enough to kill the robots...so your plan worked, it just hurt the robots as opposed to killing them :)

I don't know if this still works in DXX-Rebirth, but originally if you backed right up to the door, the bombs would drop on the other side, right on top of the bots. >:)
