As a concept
When some units are destroyed they explode, potentially damaging surrounding objects. This effect is achieved in-game by setting Explodes=yes on the unit - this tells the game to fire a weapon at the cell previously occupied by the destroyed unit. See the flags below for how that 'death weapon' is determined.

| Applicable to: | CombatDamage |
Specifies the default death weapon↑ to use when a unit with Explodes=yes set is destroyed. This is only used if the exploding unit does not have a current primary weapon) and has not specified its own DeathWeapon↓.

| Flag: | DeathWeapon |

| Values: | Strings: Normal text. (Limited to: Weapons) |
| Default: | none* (default is not hard-coded or pre-determined from INI code, but is instead taken to be the unit's current primary weapon) |
| Applicable to: | TechnoTypes:
AircraftTypes, BuildingTypes, InfantryTypes and VehicleTypes |
Specifies the death weapon↑ to use when this unit is destroyed in-game (assuming that this unit also has Explodes=yes set). Note that DeathWeapon on the unit overrides any other method↑ for determing the death weapon↑ to use.
Notes
- Firing a DeathWeapon will prevent the animations listed in an object's Explosion statement being played when that object is destroyed. However, if Explodes=yes has been set, but no DeathWeapon statement is present, the animations will be played normally.
