Functionality
Functionality[]
The Boogie Bomb is thrown at a player, to force them to dance. When dancing, a player cannot use weapons or items, nor can they build, sprint or crouch and they will be forced out of Vehicles. The Boogie Bomb can affect all players, both friendly and hostile. Players will dance for 5 seconds, or less if they are hurt during this time.
The Boogie Bomb can be thrown by holding the aim button or by pressing the attack button. A projectile arc will appear to guide the player.

Strategy
Strategy[]
|
This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- When Boogie Bombed in a car or vehicle, the bomb will force the player hit to jump out of the vehicle.
- Throwing a Boogie Bomb at a player in a Choppa or X-4 Stormwing causes them to jump out of the vehicle and receive fall damage.
- Throwing a Boogie Bomb at a player in a B.R.U.T.E. or Salvaged B.R.U.T.E. will force the player out, rendering the mech useless.
- Throwing a Boogie Bomb at a player using a Mounted Turret will force them out of the turret, rendering it useless.
- Players affected by a Boogie Bomb also cannot re-enter vehicles until they stop dancing, so you could use the Boogie Bomb to steal someone's vehicle.
- If a Boogie Bomb is thrown in a player's radius after using an object that negates fall damage, it will cancel the zero-gravity effect, thus causing the player to be vulnerable to fall damage again.
- The Boogie Bomb's radius is about 1 tile, so make sure you're standing at least 1 tile away from your opponent to prevent yourself from being hit by the bomb.
- Once you've hit an opponent with a Boogie Bomb, it's best to follow it up with a high-damage shotgun shot to capitalize on their vulnerable state.
- If you get hit by a Boogie Bomb and you're near the storm, you can walk into the storm to take damage on purpose and negate the effect of the Boogie Bomb.
