UEX is an Explosive in Barotrauma.

Functions & Usage

UEX is capable of causing significant damage to both Creatures and structures in an area. It is used directly or indirectly in nearly every recipe that requires explosives.

UEX 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 safe to handle.

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.
  • UEX is normally not deconstructible, however by crafting it into Frag Grenades or 40mm Grenades and then deconstructing them, it is possible to recover the Sodium used in its construction. The Phosphorus involved is lost, however.

Trivia

  • UEX seems to be an acronym for Universal Explosive. This item, however, does not have any real-life equivalent, as sodium and phosphorus are generally not used in conventional explosives by themselves - only as additives.
