Was it you who was throwing remote explosives under my LAV while dueling with me before you hacked it and ran off? I was like, "Nope, not gunna fall for it, nope uh uh." Then you gave up, crouched and hacked it and just left. I was like, welp, might was well call in another guristas saga. o.o

Remote explosives are a tricky bunch. I keep seeing them at the hacking terminals while a buddy is hacking, and since he/she won't listen to my warnings I shoot the remote explosive in an attempt to disable it and save him/her, of course I always forget that shooting it means detonating it.

Remotes are so much fun, especially fun once you move away from cannon terminal and CRU placements and toward the trap variety.

Cannon and CRUs are the easiest kills but leave your opponent thinking "cheap kill" or "my stupid death." Corner kills are next teaching your enemy never to rush in, so funny.

The retreat trap is great too. Set an RE near your location then go about business as usual, if you need to retreat go by your RE(s) and blast them essentially covering your retreat.

But the absolute best is setting a trap and baiting people to it. Just the thought of the look on their face thinking they have the upperhand to immediately be 1 shotted is priceless.

Had great fun with a LR/remote fit... place remotes, shoot guy with the LR at close range, run away, and he instantly runs after you lol... BOOM

I'm one of those guys that gets red dot hungry and I admit that I have fallen trap to some REs. I give props to whoever kills me with them, but it usually never happens more than once because once I realize they're on the field I'm way more cautious with my actions. I also try to remember the name of the person and make sure I don't get baited by them anymore.

My all-time favorite anti-RE kill was when some guy was dancing around a supply depot to avoid me shooting them. He planted an RE at the base of the supply depot and kept circling it to try and bait me. I noticed his little antic and shot the RE with my ScrPistol and it managed to blow him up and said he committed suicide. I've also managed to shoot a friendly RE that was sitting on a corner as a heavy came around. The heavy got blown up by the RE but it gave credit to my blue dot for the kill. Totally worth it for the lulz.

It's quite the dilemma if you've seen the remote, the hacker hasn't and is off coms, and more blues are running in to join the hack. Sacrifice the one to save the many?
