- — In-Game Description
The Remote Explosive is an Explosive Weapon in Battle Royale. It was introduced in Season 3.
Functionality[]
Remote Explosives are thrown and will stick to a surface or vehicle. Unlike other throwable items, the effects of the remote explosive are manual, and will only be triggered by player control.
The player uses the attack button to throw the explosive, and the aim button to detonate. Each explosive detonates one after the other with a short delay. The maximum amount of explosives that can be placed by one player, is 30, which requires 5 full stacks of 6 to achieve.

Strategy Guide[]
- Remote Explosives can be used to 'trap' a vehicle such as a Choppa. Doing so can be achieved by lining the vehicle with explosives, and detonating it as a player (or players) use it.
- Remote Explosives can hurt the player who detonated them, so be careful when using it.
- Remote Explosives are detonated when shot, by both yourself and opponents. This can be used against an enemy to prematurely detonate their trap.
- There may be spots on a vehicle where the Remote Explosives glitch inside the vehicle, this can be used to create a nearly undetectable trap.

Trivia[]
- Before it was added there was two seperate versions
- Both were called C4
- Both had the Description: Toss an explosive charge that can be detonated with your alternate fire or by shooting the charge.
- One was Uncommon, the other was Rare
- Remote Explosives appear prominently in The Last Laugh Bundle trailer, despite being Vaulted at the time of the set's release.
- The explosive material is C4, as indicated by the yellow labeling on the box. C4 is a plastic explosive commonly used to detonate obstacles and fortifications, hence its high structure damage in-game.
