Functionality

The B/MD C4 Pack has two different components to it, the backpack and the detonator. The backpack stores up to 6 charges for the trigger and the trigger can hold a seventh to be thrown The detonator has two different firing modes:

  • Deploy Mode.
    • This throws out a destructible C4 charge which will stick to the first surface it hits, which will be ignored by enemies.
  • Detonate Mode.
    • This will instantaneously trigger all currently deployed C4 charges to deliver a powerful explosion in a small radius.

Tactical Information

  • C4 is a middle ground between dedicated Anti-Tank weaponry like the GR-8 Recoilless Rifle and explosive chaff clear weaponry like the GL-21 Grenade Launcher.
    • As the C4 lacks a long or stationary reload, it is able to destroy multiple heavy units quicker than other AT weapons.
  • It is highly recommended that Helldivers bind their "Quick Weapon Wheel Right" key in order to quickly switch between deploy and detonate mode with the C4.
    • Helldivers can look at their right hand to see which mode they are in. In Deploy Mode they'll hold a C4 brick, in Detonate Mode they'll hold the detonator instead.
  • A single C4 can be used to destroy spawners such as Bot Fabricators and shielded Grounded Warp Ships, even from the outside.
  • The C4 Pack can be used offensively against large enemies such as War Striders, Hulks, Charger Behemoths, and Harvesters, killing them with a single charge if placed correctly.
  • Thrown C4 charges have a very generous throw range, but also benefit from the bonus throwing range of the Servo-Assisted and Desert Stormer armor passives.
    • With quick timing, charges can be detonated in mid-air to 'airburst' them near vulnerable targets.
  • There is a short delay when the trigger is pulled before C4 detonates. Pulling the trigger again will restart the delay, so avoid repeatedly tapping the trigger to ensure prompt detonation.
  • The C4 pack is uniquely suited for Stealth gameplay, allowing Helldivers to set explosives onto Objectives and Fabricators, then retreat to a safe distance before detonation.
