Compound N is an Explosive in Barotrauma.

Functions & Usage

Compound N is capable of causing significant damage to both Creatures and structures in an area. It is exactly as powerful as UEX and is used to create Volatile Compound N, which has a limited lifetime. Unlike most explosives, it is made in the Medical Fabricator.

Compound N can be loaded inside Railgun shells ( Railgun Shell, Physicorium Shell, Nuclear Shell) and Depth Charge shells ( Depth Charge Shell, Depth Decoy Shell, Nuclear Depth Charge, Nuclear Depth Decoy) to explode on impact and deal additional damage. It can also be placed and then remotely detonated using a Detonator.

It is not completely safe to handle - it may explode if it comes into contact with fire, and is susceptible to explosions. Storing in a Toolbelt or a Storage Container will protect from fire and prevent chain reactions.

Notes

• The base damage of the explosive is distributed between all limbs in the radius of the explosion. For each affected limb, there is a 5% chance of 40 additional Bleeding and a 20% chance of 15 additional Burn.
