Recommended hybrid combinations

Cheapest = lowest sulfur. Fast combo = mixes C4/rockets/satchels with a little explo ammo to finish, cheaper than pure C4 or rockets and much quicker than all explo ammo. Estimated from hit counts — test in game, values can shift after Facepunch updates.

How to plan a cheap raid

Always look for the weakest path. Doors are usually cheaper than walls of the same tier, and explosive ammo is a cheap way through wooden doors and sheet metal doors, though it takes longer and makes a lot of noise.

C4 is the fastest option for armored bases, while rockets are handy when you need to hit from a distance. Satchels are cheap to craft early in a wipe but can fail to detonate.
