Timed C4
The most powerful explosive in game. All Infantry possesses minimum 1 of those, allowing them to seriously damage a building should they manage to safely place it on the Master Control Terminal and guard it until detonation.
It requires no activation after deployment, instead it starts a countdown of 30 seconds. Upon hitting 0, it detonates, doing heavy damage to the object it was placed on and its surroundings. It can be placed on ground to deliver the AOE damage to any enemy unlucky enough to be in the vicinity. It inflicts burn Status Effect.
Damage
Timed C4s are mainly used to damage buildings, causing 17 points damage when placed on Buildings exteriors needing 12 timed C4s to kill it, and 66 point on Master Control Terminals, requiring 3 timed C4s to kill it. Of course, usually they are assisted by some other offensive means as delay in countdowns between timed C4s, and the fact that no class possesses 3 timed C4s makes them unreliable as a sole means of completely bringing down buildings.
They can be also successfully used for sabotaging enemy Vehicles, as one timed will take 400hp upon detonation, killing without fail all vehicles with light armor and heavily damaging remaining ones. Players not familiarized with the rules of battlefield might also get out of rigged vehicle in places they are not covered by friendly units, creating an opportunity to steal this vehicle.
