C-4 Explosive not exploding.

kilroy0097 · 01-03-2008, 03:43 AM

So I thought this may be reported already but it's not finding it under search.

Combat Engineer Kit - C-4 Explosive

Every single time I've used it it does not explode. There is no delay and then explosion. There is no sound of an explosion and there is no graphic of an explosion. the C-4 simply disappears. I do not know where it goes or if it has done anything.

- I place the C4 on something.
- The clicker is out and I press it.
- Nothing happens.
- I choose the clicker again and it brings it up makes the clicking sound and puts it away in one motion.

I seem to remember a familiar motion like that from BF2-V but in those bug cases it would throw two C4 and then immediately detonate killing you with them.

I've found it works better if u have direct line of sight, but yes I have seen this alot on insurgency mode.

I believe C4 has a 15 second arming time now.

Or some time or other, but yes, there's an arming timer. Just wait a while... or read the manual for the exact time... or wait for someone with the real time to post it here...but 15 is prolly right if he took the time to say it...can I sleep yet?

It's 5 seconds arming time sorry, I just checked.

I've had the samo problem yesterday on Sunset City. I have planted C4 on enemy APC and when I tried to blow it up, nothing happened.

Wait at least five seconds, then push the button. Otherwise you'll push, but nothing will happen and the C4 will stick to the object.

Afterdune and unrealalex win the prize!

OP - can you go test your C4 again please, this time waiting for at least 6 seconds after placing it before you hit the fire button (count them with elephants), and then report back if this fixes your problem?

Also, since folks have clearly forgotten to read the updated manual - C4 is a hell of a lot more powerful now (like, REALLY powerful

) so if you blow something up, pleasssse stand a long way aways from it!
