There are no levels in this game, but the destructive power is greater. The Just Cause 2 version is overall more useful and can be used in a very tactical way as opposed to the Just Cause (1) variant where it was simply placed on the ground and the player had to run away fast to a safe area. Small to medium size vehicles such as a Cassius 192 will easily be blown up either in mid-air or on the ground. Also it seems that the level of this weapon affects the number of explosives that can be placed before detonation. Until upgraded to 4 stars, it will take 2 explosives to destroy a Pandak Baby Panay Statue.
These explosives are one of the most devastating weapons in the Just Cause game series and with just a few upgrades, can be used to destroy a small building with just one. Triggered explosive can also be detonated while the explosive is in mid-air but this is difficult to do as the explosive drops through the air very quick. Also the explosives will bounce off any aircraft while it is in mid-air, so you cannot take down enemy aircraft, due to the Panau Military not actually attacking you with planes where you can place explosives on the roof. Depending on how much they are upgraded, they will kill them with only a few explosives. This is very useful in numerous situations such as in the mission Three Kings, where the targets will always default to the center of their platforms, when they do, simply detonate the explosives.
You can use triggered explosives like mines, enemies only back away from them when they're thrown. It's tricky, as you will gain heat if you get too close to a trailer or a statue anyway.Ĭ4 can also be placed on to vehicles and then driven up to a Propaganda Trailer and left to be detonated later. What you can do, is walk up close to a Propaganda Trailer and providing that no nearby soldiers are watching you, quietly place (not throw) the C4 on the target object without triggering heat. Throwing C4 will trigger Heat if any soldiers can see either Rico, or the explosives, during the throw and after attached to an object. Rico can only activate the detonator when standing (whether on a vehicle or solid ground), swimming (on the surface) or gliding with the Parachute. Holding down the button will detonate all explosives simutaneously. As the name implies, these charges are not on a timer, but are detonated remotely by holding down the button used to throw them. This item can be found during the first mission. It's one of the two explosive items in Just Cause 2. Ultimately, it's usage heavily depends on he player. Grenades are much more convenient for this but two point blank blasts are needed. If you're planning on using these in a liberation, keep in mind that you'll have to run all the way to the barricade to do it. The explosive power seems to be a little more powerful than the level 6 Just Cause 2 versions and must not be underestimated, as they can destroy government barricades and most vehicles in a single explosion. This allows them to be used during the most sophisticated stunts. The explosives in Just Cause 2 stick to the first object they touch. Unlike in Just Cause 2, these explosives are placed on the ground instead of thrown, but they can be kicked around to move them. They can only be detonated while standing on the ground or any stationary object.īoth can cause huge damage if tactically placed.
