Plastic Explosives are usable explosives featuring a Remote Detonator instead of a timer. They can be used to kill players, but beware trying to use them in guarded towns; guards often detect when such items are being placed, and will respond 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. The effective damage range is limited, but can be extended by 1 hex with the Demolition Expert perk.

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.

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.

Use

To activate a C4, click-hold on it in your Inventory, and choose the "Hand" icon. The C4 has a little red light that will start blinking to let you know it is now armed and ready to explode. Its detonator also appears in your inventory as soon as the bomb is armed. Set the bomb where you want it, and know this might trigger nearby NPCs to attack you. Once set, a C4 will be hard to see, even by the bombardier. A Motion Sensor can be used to help see where C4 has been placed on the ground.

NOTE: The range on a remote detonator is 40 hexes. If you attempt to use it while beyond it's range, you'll get a "*click*click*" text message telling you that you're too far away from the bomb. Thus you cannot detonate C4 from The World map.

You can buy C4 Blueprints from Zaius in Broken Hills for 25k Caps each.
