C4 is an explosive in Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 4.

Survival Guide


C4 first appears in Far Cry 3.

It will detonate after a given time when set, and consists of a block of C4, that Jason holds in his left hand, and a detonator remote in his right. It is a powerful anti-personnel and anti-vehicle explosive, useful against all kinds of targets.

Uses[]

A very useful weapon in the hands of the tactically skilled player. It is useful for players that do not yet have the Heavy Beatdown skill unlocked since it can be used to kill Privateer Heavy Gunners while still remaining undetected. 

  • When placed on roads, it is also an excellent weapon to create and ambush vehicles.
  • Also, the C4 can actually be thrown a short distance, opening more opportunities of use.
  • You may try setting traps by covering an area with the C4 and luring a group of enemies into the trap, to then detonate the C4 and blow them up.
  • For more noisy and "rambo" outpost clear out, you can drive a car with C4 charges placed on it, drive right into the outpost, bail out of the vehicle and detonate the C4. Another method that can be used is an LMG rush.

Trivia[]

  • Its full name is 'Composition-C4', and its main component is RDX, an explosive nitroamine, much more powerful than TNT.
  • If the player has placed multiple C4 charges, they will be detonated in the order they were placed.
  • If the player presses the button to place C4 when directly facing a wall, Jason will stick the C4 onto the wall, but pretty much any surface will work.
  • Weak walls, that can be blown up, will show a stick explosive here icon.
  • Such weak walls are often found when looking for Relics, however these walls can also be knocked down with Mines or a Grenade.
  • A glitch can occur in which the player can get more C4 without buying them or picking them up. Simply walk over to a wall until you place the C4 on the wall, hold the X button (Xbox 360) until you pick it up. After it is picked up, the interact button will appear for a split second. When you activate it, you will receive another C4. This can be done until you have maxed out on C4.
  • C4 (and Mines) can be stuck to objects that have physics, such as crates, barrels and other small things. In Far Cry 4, Ajay can then kick the object, such as into a group of enemies. A good tactic is to look around an outpost for small wooden crates, load it up with C4 and Mines, then kick it near a group of enemies.
