Line 49:
** The Demoman actually has as MELEE WEAPON that deals splash damage (a [[WW 2]] stick grenade he is using as a club), that can kill most of the classes in a single hit and does damage to himself.
* ''[[Water Warfare]]'s'' buckets and water bombs—along with its bazookas and launchers—provide a [[Water Balloons And Squirt Guns|very literal example.]]
* Explosive weapons in ''[[X-COM]]'' games work this way, though damage from the most powerful bombs just cut off at a certain (quite large) distance rather than continuing to fade. Aside from hitting friendly units, a misplaced grenade may also destroy valuable loot or stunned prisoners or trigger [[Exploding Barrels]]. Also, some tiles (like walls)
** Due to the way tiles work, there's also a bug allowing strong explosions (large rocket/demolition charge/blaster launcher) going off next to an UFO hull to [//www.ufopaedia.org/index.php/Explosions#When_Is_a_Wall_not_a_Wall blow "through" some walls], so even if it's not strong enough to destroy the wall itself, an explosion may harm aliens (or destroy loot) behind it(!).
* A necessity in ''[[Prototype (video game)|Prototype]]'' where, short of the most powerful ground vehicle in the game, you are your most reliable source of splash damage once the game starts throwing AT YOU waves of [[Mooks]], [[Elite Mooks]], as well as the [[Boss in Mook Clothing|beyond-elite mooks]] that will make you call out the [[Spiteful AI]]!
* ''[[Age of Empires]] I'' has catapults and juggernauts, while the sequel introduce mangonels, onagers, bombard cannons and cannon galleons. However said Splash Damage is very dangerous as it can damage your own soldiers en masse.
