So now that we have a more detailed and realistic explosives and shrapnel mechanics, I was thinking Claymore mine should be a thing. You could place it and then point the direction of shrapnel to be bursted, the same way you do when installing a headlight to your car.
Can be activated either remotely via a special RC trigger, or just work as other traps on a step or a proximity.
Sorry if that is already a thing, never found one yet.

So does it means that explosions are drawn in a cone shape?

Supposably it looks like that in-game.

Claymores are not yet a thing, to my knowledge. It’s been discussed before. Last time I asked questions about cones . . .

That’s from [Booby Traps & Area Denial: Claymores, Bouncing Betty, Spring-gun, Deadfall Traps, Electrified Floor, Motorised Blades, etc - #6 by TheMurderUnicorn](https://discourse.cataclysmdda.org/t/booby-traps-area-denial-claymores-bouncing-betty-spring-gun-deadfall-traps-electrified-floor-motorised-blades-etc/18126/6) which was back in December. I don’t think cones have been implemented since then, though I haven’t been keeping up with the state of things like I used to.
