Short answer

An armored wall is one of the most expensive common raid targets. Treat it as a serious commitment: 15 rockets, 8 C4, 46 satchels, or about 800 explosive ammo in the current RaidBench estimate table.

MethodAmountEstimated sulfurBest use
Rockets1521,000Fast splash pressure when multiple pieces can be damaged.
C4817,600Direct wall break when splash does not matter.
Satchels4622,080Usually too slow unless there is no better option.
Explosive ammo80020,000Only when you can shoot safely for a long time.

Checklist

  • Scout the door path before choosing wall-side entry.
  • Add a buffer for one extra door or wall.
  • Do not commit if counters can easily hold your shooting angle.
  • Prefer rockets only if splash damage creates extra value.

Example

If the visible path is one armored wall plus one garage door, estimate about 21,000 sulfur for rockets plus 4,200 for the garage door, then add at least a 15-25% buffer.

Common mistakes

  • Raiding armored wall-side without checking if the door path is cheaper.
  • Bringing exact sulfur with no buffer.
  • Using explosive ammo in a spot that exposes the shooter for too long.
