Destroying tunnels with shovels?

[caleeb101]

I think this should also be a viable way to destroy tunnels. Dunno. Thoughts?

I think it would be cool to fill a tunnel with dirt through an entrenching tool, but a hivelord can clear the tunnel. 50 shovelfuls of dirt.

Not a bad idea.

Oh hey, why no one ever thought about that? That is really an awesome idea.

+ on that. Good stuff, C4s aren't eternal

Cool idea i reckon, but yeah it probably should take some time to do it with a shovel and maybe can be cleared by a xeno after being filled in, again taking some time to do so.Maybe it doesnt actually destroy the tunnel but blocks it? Seeming it took a huge hivelord to create the tunnel, its obviously not a small tunnel that should be allowed to be destroyed/filled easily with a shovel.

What if Marines could crawl through tunnels as well, kind of like “tunnel rat” Vietnam style. Then every round an SL could pick a man they don’t like to see where the tunnel leads

t1 xenos can claw metal barricades and girders and shit apart, i do not think that 50 shovels of dirt will be enough to discourage them

lesser explosives like grenades being allowed to collapse tunnels, however, could be worth consideration, letting c4 be saved for harder targets like walls

[TheDonkified]

We used to have something like that, where two nades would destroy tunnels. Think it was deemed a bug though and then it was eventually fixed
