General Questions

Hi All-

I have some basic questions about how things work in the game:

1. Engineers can only cut barbed wire, but they can't cut sandbags. How do you get thru sandbags that block access without using a vehicle to bulldoze thru?

2. How to avoid booby trapped strategic points? They seem to be more effective in the latest patch, killing off entire squads as opposed to 1 or 2 men. I equipped some engineers with mine detectors and they are unable to detect and clear the booby trap. So, is it intended that if a point is booby trapped you have to micro your squad to avoid getting killed, (ie: cap the point, quickly move away to avoid getting killed, booby trap goes off, recap the point)? In my opinion, this could be something that engineers with mine detectors should be able to clear.

Thanks,

Ghost

You can Dodge a boobytrap by moving the squad over the flag, to the opposite site. Then continue to cap.

Booby traps are constructed in a way that mine sweepers wont do you any good, but rather activate them.

Is this really a CoH2 question ?

Wolf - Apologies, should be listed under COH, not COH2.

@Sandbags - use explosives, the heavier the better though even grenades should do the trick. You can also try to force attack on them with AT launchers and AT guns, that will work swiftly.

@Booby traps - approach the flag, trigger the trap by attempting to capture then immediately (there's a sound) sprint away from flag. Wait till trap goes boom, get back to flag and cap it.

I do so but it doesnt work really. Sometimes the entire squad dies even when you run away. At least one or two gonna die even when they run away immediatly (even when activating retreat).
