Timed Explosive Charges are not to be confused with Explosives!
The Explosive Charge (commonly called "C4" or "Satchel Charge") is a craftable explosive weapon that can be placed on walls and doors. After a short amount of time passes, the charge will explode, dealing a large amount of damage to the structures nearby. C4 will also deal damage to anyone standing within a close proximity when it explodes. Due to the destructive power of the Timed Explosive Charge, this is an ideal instrument of choice when used in a raid.
Drop
Explosive Charges can be found as rare drops in Airdrops. In barrels, Explosive Charges can be found, including a blueprint for one.
