You put a timed bomb on a car, put it in first, release the clutch, get out, a few seconds later it explodes sending shrapnel in every direction and losing some parts in the process, killing many zombies.

Even for unrelated questions, flying debris resulting from explosions seems like it would make a fine addition. Got no idea on hard it would be to code tho.

We already have shrapnel from grenades so relatively speaking, it shouldn’t be too hard.

Of course, the oft-quoted saying that things non-programmers think are trivial are difficult, things they think are complicated are simple, and things considered easy are a royal pain in the ass applies here.

You want to turn a death machine into an exploding death machine? I can fly with that.

This’d be nice… if shrapnel ever becomes a thing.
