The Drill Charge in Modern Warfare 2 can be burrowed into any surface, and comes out on the other side as an explosion.
The item is useless when you throw it to the ground, it is better to throw it on the wall, or on the ceiling if there is an enemy above you. The maximum range of the Drill Charge is 5 meters: 4 meters for the burrowing and traveling, and 1 meter from the surface it emerges from.
So, if you throw the Drill Charge on a 5.50-meter wall, it’s still going to deal damage, but it cannot kill the enemy immediately. It also inflicts damage to any kind of equipment like ammo boxes.
The Trophy Systemcan counter the Drill Charge. It can stick directly to enemies and the deployable cover.
As the game is still in its beta stage, we have not yet gathered enough intel for the best camping locations and positions to fully utilize Drill Charge’s damage and range. For now, we know that the Drill Charge is good for clearing out buildings before heading inside.
