Tips & Counters
Doors are usually the softer target next to a wall of the same tier — check both before picking where to open up. A door also tells you what's behind it: a garage door on a small structure is often worth more attention than a big base with only wood doors.
Explosive 5.56 Ammo is cheapest by sulfur, but C4 goes through it faster (10s vs 19s to place) — worth the extra sulfur if the base is online and you need to be in and out.

The same from either side: explosives ignore the soft side. C4, rocket, satchel, beancan, F1 and HV-rocket counts were measured on our own server; the rest are current-patch chart values. Sulfur/charcoal/metal are the raw materials to craft each explosive, not counting furnace or mixing table time.
