Clinger

Functionality[]

A Clinger when thrown will stick to any surface it comes in contact with, whether it is a structure, a player or a vehicle. After around three seconds, the clinger will detonate, dealing damage to whatever it has stuck to, unless it was thrown at a friendly player. Doing any Emotes will cause the Clinger to fall off the player it had stuck to.

If the surface a clinger is stuck to is destroyed before it detonates, the clinger will drop to the ground. The timer for detonation only starts upon contact with a surface.

Strategy Guide[]

	This section outlines a strategy.
	Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.

• Clingers are useful for high action engagements, as knowing you have stuck a player with a clinger allows you to focus on another target.
• You can stick a Clinger to a friendly player and have them run towards an enemy, similar to an EMP Stealth Camo. This is useful as the friendly player receives no damage.
• Clingers are especially useful inside enclosed spaces such as Vaults.
• If you have extra Clingers or do not want to carry them, it may be best to throw them into a building or bush in case anyone is hiding nearby.
• Clingers can be extra useful in Zero Build, since they can force opponents out of bushes and Port-A-Bunkers.

Item ID[]
