— In-Game Description

Functionality

Functionality[]

Remote Explosives are thrown and will stick to a surface or vehicle. Unlike other throwable items, the effects of the Remote Explosives are manual, and will only be triggered by player control.

The player uses the attack button to throw the explosive, and the aim button to detonate. Each explosive detonates one after the other with a short delay. The maximum amount of explosives that can be placed by one player, is 30.

Strategy Guide

Strategy Guide[]

	This section outlines a strategy.
	Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.

Remote Explosives can be used to 'trap' a vehicle such as a Choppa. Doing so can be achieved by lining the vehicle with explosives, and detonating it as a player (or players) use it.
Remote Explosives can hurt the player who detonated them, so be careful when using it.
Remote Explosives are detonated when shot, by both yourself and opponents. This can be used against an enemy to prematurely detonate their trap.
There may be spots on a vehicle where the Remote Explosives glitch inside the vehicle, this can be used to create a nearly undetectable trap.
