Plastic Explosives are usable explosives featuring a Remote Detonator instead of a timer. They can be used to kill players, but beware with them in a guarded town! Guards may react harshly if they spot you.

Explosives can also be used to smash doors in cities - several attempts are needed for metal doors. Doors will regenerate after thirty minutes.

When the plastic explosive is activated, a corresponding Remote Detonator appears in your inventory. Obviously, this is used to make your C4 explode. Remote Detonators can be tied to a key bind for quicker use. Be careful: you can activate multiple C4 charges at once, which means you'll have multiple Remote Detonators each corresponding to a specific C4. So if you intend to blanket an area with many such traps, it can get tricky to keep track of which Remote Detonator activates which C4. Use a Motion Sensor to better see where any C4 has been placed.

You can buy C4 blueprints from Zaius in Broken Hills for 25k caps each.

NOTE: Trying to use C4 can upset NPCs earlier than you might expect. They might notice and attack you as soon as you activate it, before you've even put it somewhere.
