C-4 is a utility available to the Engineer, Combat Medic, Light Assault, and Heavy Assault classes. When equipped, hitting right mouse (by default) will cause you to throw a brick of the explosive that will stick to most surfaces, including vehicles. Hitting left mouse will detonate all currently placed explosives simultaneously. A single well placed charge will destroy a MAX , Flash ATV, Empire specific fighter or critically damage a stock Lightning . Two of them will destroy a Main battle tank or critically damage a Sunderer . Three charges are required to destroy a Liberator and five are required for a Galaxy. C-4's main drawback is cost, requiring 200 certifications for a single brick, 500 for the second, and 75 resources each to resupply.

Usage

C-4 can be used in several simple steps:

  • Purchase C-4
  • Resupply C-4
  • Equip in character loadout
  • Place the C-4 in the desired location (Right mouse button)
  • Detonate it (Left mouse button)

A slightly more complicated way to use C-4 is to stick it to your Flash ATV and then ram your Flash into an enemy vehicle. Also, it is important watch out for suicidal players who will throw mines and/or C-4 at your vehicle from point-blank range.
