1: on an objective/structure/turrets (I'm going to speak on objectives but the same gose for the structure and turrets as well) on an objective place one Remote Explosive (calling them RE from now on) on the hacking position it's self then place more around the objective resupply for maximum number of res placed (five) then when someone trys to hack blow them up 2:blowing up turrets/structures the RE as stated before has a maximum of five placed down at one time doing so on a hostiles structure or turret will take out the shields (and perhaps some of the armor depending on what version you are useing) so you can do this twice and destroy it or just take some of it down for another squad/team member to take it out. 3:(personally my favorite thing to do besides shooting guys in the face with a sniper at close range) is what I call nano/drop bombs this is a good way to fool someone to their own deaths to do this you need A:a drop uplink or B:a nano hive put down a RE and then put down either a drop uplink or nanohive (i've found drop uplinks work better) on top of it so when a hostile shoots the uplink/nanohive it explodes taking them with it best if you put it in a corner or behind something where they will need to get close to shoot at it 4:can't believe I forgot this one if you put a remote explosive down after a while it becomes a mine and if someone steps on it the explosive will go off making them useful to put in choke points where hostiles will most likely move (like the tops of stairs). 5:the ever so likable 'minefield' put down REs in spots where hostiles would take cover setting them off when there are as many hostiles near them as possible best used against squads. 6: the 'FUbomb' if you see a squad/someone that you know you will die fighting drop REs at your feet and get killed,MAKE SURE THE REMOTE EXPLOSIVE IS EQUIPPED TO YOUR HAND WHEN YOU DIE, when the person/squad that killed you is close enough then set them off taking the bastards with you 7:Injuring hostile armor, the REs pack quite the punch making them useful for destroying or injuring tanks and lavs their arre two ways to do this one being to lay down explosives in the path of the vehicle and detonate as it drives over(I highly recommend you use proximity mines for this as they explode on contact but just in case you do use REs this is here) you can also run up to a hostile vehicle and drop the REs next to it while a bit harder due to the 360 degree vision of tanks/lavs and their speed (not to mention what will happen if you are not fast enough) this issomething with a high risk/reward and best used against tanks that are sitting still if they have no foot soldier support........or if you thing distroying/injuring a tank is worth a sute. Ideas from other dusters 1: from Scheneighnay McBob : Here's how I used REs- go hunting heavies. When you see a red heavy cutting down tons of people with an HMG, I'll guarantee you that they'll be getting cocky. Make sure they see you, but also make sure you have good access to cover so they can't hit you (I played ring-around-the-rosy with a heavy by a supply depot once). Then, keep ducking behind cover so they can't kill you, until they get frustrated and try getting up close in personal. After that point, it's just a matter of placing remote explosives around the corner they're about to come around and inching away until the heavy is right on top of them, then KABOOM! You just OHKed a heavy! 2: from ZiwZih Also, a very good use of RE is -- speed boost! Don't forget to change to RE if you need extra speed to close a distance fast or run away from an incoming pack of killers. The speed is especially crazy if you have a Scout with double KC equipped, as it's same as when you have only the Knives on. And lastly, RE, unlike NH or DUP, can be equipped even if you run out of them! note that there have been some suggestions for proximity mines from KalOfTheRathi however I have very little experience with them at this time I will spec into them and make a new thread concerning them. if I think of anything or anyone else says something I think is good I will add it above so any ideas you have are wanted my fellow dusters have fun blowing stuff up

I've seen Drop Uplinks explode when I shot them.
It was hilarious.
I was lucky it didn't (quite) kill me. |

I have got to try and make a fitting for this. Sounds like fun. It's always funny when you get see +50 on the Screen when you didn't do anything and your think "oh? somebody just shot my remote explosive." Questions-
Is a Drop Uplink better bait than a Nanohive?
Do people generally catch on to what your doing after being blown up a few times?
Keep the faith. |

I find that the dropbomb works better as many will ignore nanohives also if they try to camp the uplink you can always detonate it.
teach them to spawn camp huh |

I figured as much but wanted your opinion. I am so going to make a DropBomb Logi now. Or i'll just use Remote Explosives in addition to my normal gear since one of my Squadmates i roll with usually likes to start off his day (battle) by bringing in a Drop Uplink.

Sinboto !!!! what else you got for me? That works like a charm. You sir are now like EF HUTTON when you speak i will listen.
Its kinda hard to place it all perfectly and my logi suit just got expensive, but that means nothing compared to the outcome. Death to those who attempt violate the spawnage of the team.
Drop uplink deployment w/o RE, aprox, ..... 4000 isk
Drop uplink deployment with RE , ....... Priceless
The +50, ....... hilarious (actually the first Dropbomb i used killed 3 mercs)
Sinboto, if we meet on the battelfield, I may have 2 drop my scope and find another target

This may be a somewhat dumb question but i'd rather not test it out myself.
Say "Somebody" was to put down 5 RE's around a Supply Depot where he proceeded to defend the area from oncoming onslaught. Say also that a lone enemy was brave enough to attempt to flank our lone hero and blow up the first RE he saw which inevitably killed him.
Would the other RE's blow up due to the initial explosion of the other RE's?
And if they would, would the kill the owner of the RE's if he were standing to close to them?

yes they would the detonation of the one remote explosive will cause any of your remote explosives that are too close to go off so the situation you have mentioned would be quite deadly to you as well as any hostiles.(I learned that the hard way) |

no the blueberries can't trip the mines only hostiles, in fact I have not yet found a way to kill bluedots with them at all.
Note: The remote explosives can still kill you if they are too close when you set them off or if a hostile shoots them.

Note: The blast radius increases with the meta level that you are using so be sure to be standing at the end of the blast zone if at all possible.
I will edit the blast radius into the op soon so look for that SOONtm |

OP, upper casing the re to RE will make it easier to catch the references in your posts.
Are you doing a Prox version as well?
I have taken to running a Hive, Proximity Mine combo in one of my multi slot suits. It is amazing how many mines you can lay down a section of road that always has LAVs flying through it. Not to mention catching the occasional HAV. Of course, I was a gunner along for the sticky part of the bomb just yesterday. Ugh.
Some skill that would let us scan for mines would be nice. |

haven't really used the prox mines till just recently got advanced versions gonna put up uses if I can get them to work in my favor.
thanks for the tip.
also active scanners are supposed to do that but are apparently broken |

For my Proxy use it depends on the Suit.
For Logi and prepping an area I use a Hive and Proxy. Then spider web a route back to the Hive repeatedly to restock. When I am finished there are Proxy's at every entrance and normally several on the 'main' routes. My next Fit will be focused more on the mission but if there is Supply Depot around I will change back to it when they need restocking.
If Gunner in a HAV I like to jump out and drop them on routes leading to our regen spot. A Logi suit is best as it allows restocking.
Fell free to put the information where it will get the most use; no, not there. I am sitting on that. |

So if I have two instances of Proximity mines, I can lay them down double? The limitation for one batch of Prox. is 6, right? So equipping 2 or even 3 of them gives me 12/18 at the same time on the field? |

Now you have at least two Hives to restock your Proxy for a significant number of tire busters.
I want to do better with RE regarding this tactic but the game and I don't seem to agree on how it should work.
Hey! I remember you, Repe Susi. I watched you (maybe as Thranx1231) using a laser rifle. It was good enough that I still remember it.
