C-4

|-|Basic=


 * -|ARX=

C-4 is a utility slot explosive available to all non-MAX infantry classes except the Infiltrator. It is unlocked and upgraded using Certification Points.
 * -|Present=

When equipped, the player holds the C-4's detonator, rather than the bricks themselves. When thrown, C-4 bricks travel a short distance in front of the player and stick to the first non-infantry surface contacted, able to stick to vehicles and deployables. C-4 bricks can be detonated at any time, exploding to deal massive damage in a small area around them.

Players can place up to two bricks of C-4 at a time, increased up to a maximum of four bricks if the Demolitions Pouch suit slot enhancement is in use. If the player respawns after placing any bricks, all placed bricks will despawn peacefully. Accepting a revive will not remove placed C-4.

C-4 can be disarmed using the Nano-Armor Kit, removing it from the world without detonating the explosive. C-4 is also vulnerable to most types of damage, as well as EMP Grenades, all of which will detonate the explosive.

To use C-4, use Aim key ( by default) to throw a brick, and then Fire key ( by default) to detonate it. Pressing the button, after small delay, will detonate all C-4 that you have deployed.

Ribbons and Medals
With any explosive, it is possible to get both Ribbons and Medals. Each Ribbon is a standard reward for achieving a set amount of kills with an explosive. Medals relate to how many overall kills you have with the explosive.
