Equipment- Remote Explosives, Remote Explosives, Gauged Nanohive

This is an absolute bastard fitting for holding down points, enclosed rooms, or narrow corridors. What you want to do is find a good area with only one or two ways in and lay down your bombs from one equipment slot on one side and bombs from the other slot on the other. Since you're working with two slots, you can detonate different sets of bombs on either area. You can also use this build to blow up installations once you unlock prototype explosives.

Don't try to alternate where you lay your explosives from each slot, because they'll all detonate from the chain reaction!

Be warned that the coding for an explosion's area of effect on uneven terrain is still bugged so there will be times that the enemy won't take damage while standing next to an explosive if there's the slightest change in elevation. Also, there's a ~5% change that your explosives will be duds. Not sure if this is a game mechanic or just a simple bug that hasn't been resolved. Last but not least, remote explosives can disappear at times too. It's a known bug, that should be addressed in Uprising.

wow.. you have no idea how remote explosives work do you? they do not detonate in chain reaction, they go all together and you don't need two set of remotes you can only lay 5 TOTAL ACTIVE. like all other equipment if it slides it most likely will remove itself.
there is a safe timer on all the explosives meaning if you activate it to soon after laying it you force it to dud out. to bad i use remote explosives better then most and with the refund all that sp will go somewhere else they really are fun.

denial scout
type II scout
high shield extenders
low cardio stimx2
weapon shotgun locus nades
equipment- remote(basic), f-45(advanced)
i use this to protect the back lines and capture non-focused points to keep the MCC in my team's favor.
best record recently 23-8 2122 warpoints. i had to prevent our team from getting redlined and had our team come back for the win.

With 0 information given in the description, not even how much damage these things can do, all I have to go on is trial and error. Also, they do detonate in a chain reaction within eachother's range, learned that the hard way when I was on the wrong end of a grenade. I knew about the total active from testing, but thanks for covering that. The two different slots were for having the ability to lay as many bombs to hold an area without having to resort to nanohives. I didn't know about the safe timer since there's no indication on it in the description- Nice to learn something new everyday.
