Talk:Bile Bomb

Missing Protip
I'm not 100% sure, but I believe if a boomer pukes on a survivor, the bile on the survivor takes precedence over the attraction of local infected, even if a ceda jar has already been thrown.


 * Your statement is true. I thought it was there but someone must have deleted it. I'll put it back up. Thanks for pointing that out.

Possible Uses
How can anyone think what this wepon might be for? Maybie it releases a pool of bile that distracts the horde, or maybe even draws the horde to attack any infected coated (such as the Tank featured in the achievements.) Wondercheeses 22:23, October 12, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I was thinking about both of those, so if you cover a tank, it they attack it, or if you just get the ground, it attracts all the normal in the area to it, and you can shoot them. that is almost useless though, considering you wouldnt use rounds if you used a pipe bomb instead.--Supermutantslayer 450  RO A  R! 22:26, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

What if it drys up just like when the Boomer bile gets on a survivor? Then they'll just start coming to you, and the next thing you know, you have whole swarm coming towards you.

I'm guessing its main use is to use the horde to defeat enemies such as tanks and witches. The achievement that requires you to collect 10 bile samples from infected CEDA officers probably has something to do with bile bombs, which makes me think that the Bile Bomb will be more common than other grenades in a more concentrated area, or perhaps even Dead Center exclusive.

 * why would it be dead center exclusive? CEDA agents only appear in The Parish.--Supermutantslayer 450  RO A  R! 22:40, October 12, 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh sorry, I was thinking of Dead Center because I assumed the bile samples would only be there. I don't know, it's kind of late. Wondercheese 22:54, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

I don't really know why you would need to draw more infected to kill infected, so, yeah, I think it is probably just for tanks, witches. I don't know about you, buut I would much rather deal with a horde than a tank. Maybe the tank or witch would even out the number of zombies by killing them while they're wailing on the tank or witch. I just don't know. TheCreaturenator16 23:42, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

Wait a Minute
How did they get a Bile Bomb in Hard Rain if Hazmat-Suited Infected only show up in The Parish? TheCreaturenator 16  05:00, October 25, 2009 (UTC)


 * Its not only going to appear in The Parish. Its going to be more common, but its not a Parish exclusive thing. I thought that was pretty obvious.--The Scat Man  450  RO A  R! 16:08, October 25, 2009 (UTC)


 * So Hazmat Suited Infected aren't the only Bile Bomb conduit? Hmmm... Thanks TheCreaturenator  16  17:11, October 25, 2009 (UTC)

I can just see how fast a jarate replacement for the bile bomb will come, also if someone finds a dead person near a parachute landing he will probably have a bile bomb--Ill97 16:55, October 25, 2009 (UTC)

Source of bile bomb footage?
"As seen in one of the newest videos featuring Hard Rain, the bile bomb is, in fact, used to call a horde of regular infected to attack special infected. It utilizes the slot as used for Pipe bomb and Molotov."

I can't find this video anywhere. It should be linked under references. --NovaSilisko 05:07, October 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * . It shows Nick using it at the very end EllisxZoey


 * Accualy, that was a boomer exploding on a tank. ops that was a bile bomb Aratinga A. Ѭ  16:39, October 25, 2009 (UTC)

Bile Bomb picture
Where is this current bile bomb picture from? Not seeing it anywhere. --NovaSilisko 22:09, October 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * shouldn't the "b" in "bomb" be capitalized? EllisxZoey


 * ...Why didn't you just make a new section? --NovaSilisko 02:12, October 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * I figured it'd be pointless... EllisxZoey

FAIL!
IS it just me but i think the bile bomb fails. i used it in the demo and the infected barely stopped the tank. and then we had a tank and a horde... fantastic
 * It's not really very good against tanks, it's more for drawing a horde away for longer then pipebomb would. And sign your posts please. --NovaSilisko 20:40, November 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * If you know how to use the Bile Bomb, it actually becomes VERY useful. I've used it on a Tank several times, and the resulting Horde surrounded it and whittled down his health while we ran a short distance away, healed, and then unloaded on him. It's also useful when someone gets Boomed. If you throw it onto the Horde, they will fight each other instead. If it helps at all, it's tons more necessary on Expert than the other difficulties. MoltenPanther 00:10, November 3, 2009 (UTC)

I used it on the spitter. That ugly booger ran for miles!--Kirby888 23:02, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, that's the thing, it wasn't a weapon designed for tanks or killing a horde, but rather to distract it. And it helps to slow the tank down, but it has too much health, so it'll wear off before the tank, looses about 1/6th of it's health. So on expert lets say, a tank is attacking, you are running, but there's a horde or bunch of infected in the way. You throw it at the tank, and keep running past the horde. But, also i've noticed that it only makes the tank accidentely kill zombies. No specials will attack any zombies if something gets biled.CHARG3R 21:29, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

Infected Players
If an infected player gets hit by this, are they attacked by common infected. If so, cna they fight the common infected? Teh lolz! Bionicle+Lotr 16:37, November 21, 2009 (UTC)

Kills
quesion: if i throw one into a fire(burning barrel etc.) they run into it,and die,who gets the kill?-- SS4FireFox 14:22, November 23, 2009 (UTC)

Special Infected bots
It appeared a while ago when I was playing that even Special Infected AI will attack other Infected that are covered in the bile. Was I seeing this wrong, or can anyone else confirm this? If so, this is yet another plus for the bile bomb over the pipe bomb. User:Gosh Josh 05:30, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

Bile Jar
I've seen it refered to as the Bile Jar in words, and by what users call it. Should we be calling it the "Bile Jar, aka Bile Bomb"? or just keep it the way it is? I won't mind making the changes myself. Krishna Defier (Gamer Tag) 15:45, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

Dead Center
Why on the article does it say the Bile Bomb only spawns on the first 2 levels? It also spawns on the finale so just giving the heads up I am removing it. --CloudReaper 09:36, December 31, 2009 (UTC)


 * I think what it meant was that you can only get it off Hazmat guys in the first level to get Robbed Zombie.

No because it is also talking about spawns in Dark Carnival and The Parish too.--CloudReaper 14:35, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

Trivia
Why was the trivia i added removed? What the hell? Regulust 03:37, January 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Cause it wasn't really that important. Jo the Marten  [[Image:Mini Hunter.png|I dare you to click Mini Hunter|link=http://l4dwiki.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=viewprofile&user=venatorphile]]( Shriek )  ಠ_ಠ  03:57, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

Well it was trivia most are like that. >> But whatever I'm not gonna start a fight over it. Regulust 23:35, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

Survivors
When you throw a Bile Bomb on ground, bile comes out, and then Infected try to attack it. What happens when you go inside to bile when its on ground? Does the zombies attack you when trying attack "air"?ŊυĐε 16:02, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
