C4

"C4 is devastating!" In-game description

The C4 is the default slot 3 weapon for Trowel Guy that can be thrown and planted on a surface, and then manually detonated by pressing E to create a massive explosion. Deals double damage on a direct hit, alongside massive blast force.

The C4 is directly inspired by weapons of the same name, although much larger and with a more simplified look. Its body is mostly team colored, with dark gray on the sides that can be seen on its top surface. A few buttons and wires can also be seen on the top, and a small, red screen that blinks once once the C4 is ready to be detonated. It produces a small whirring sound when planted, and makes a beep sound once ready to be detonated, and also when detonated.

Tactics

 * If you wish to use this as your primary weapon, consider pairing it with the explosive pouch, a slot 1 weapon that directly boosts your explosives.


 * Throw it in places that the enemy won't see at first glance to prevent them from being aware that a C4 has been planted, and also to catch them off guard once they stumble upon that area.
 * C4 needs to be manually detonated, so be sure to keep watch of where you place them, or just place them around a general location, such as nearby an objective.


 * Direct hits deal bonus damage, so don't be afraid to attempt to do so when an enemy is nearby. C4 can be detonated almost instantly once planted, and they have quite alot of HP before being destroyed.


 * C4 is very effective against destroying objects and most parts of the map due to its massive blast radius. Use it to clear terrain and to remove enemy cover.


 * Its better to spread out your C4 placement when wanting to defend an area as this prevents them from being destroyed easily and also increases their effective range. C4 can already deal huge amounts of damage so the need for stacking them in a small area isn't necessary.

Trivia
Although the C4 has a massive blast force, it cannot be used similarly to rocket jumping.
