C4

The C4 is one of the starter explosive weapons that you spawn with upon selecting any weapon. To activate, the player needs to hold the tool and click. An animation will play where the player presses multiple buttons on the C4 before it becomes unanchored and drops to the floor. After about 8 seconds, the C4 will go off and will severely damage or kill anyone in the radius of the C4. The C4 also deals a lot of knockback, as well as having the capability to destroy limbs.

Strategies for fighting against C4

A C4 can be a scary thing when used in the right way, and there are several pro players out there who know that exact way. Here are some strategies for not getting turned inside-out:

• You can dash/roll by pressing E while facing a C4. If you time it to where you hit the floor and the C4 at the same time, you can fling it very far which could neutralize the threat or even kill your attacker.

• Run away! The C4 has a larger reach than you'd think, as well as boasting the capability to ragdoll you which makes finishing you off an easy task for your attacker.

• A strategy that heavily relies on your opponent being hyper-aggressive, you can run at your enemy with your melee and hit them before running back near the C4. By doing this, they are taking their mind off the C4 and will charge at you. More skilled players won't fall for this, so make sure to use some of the other strategies listed.

A C4 has the potential to kill, but it's important to remember that it is one of the items you automatically spawn with no matter what weapon was chosen. You might wonder how to weaponize a C4, and I, j1k77, have got you covered! In fact, here are a few strategies for using a C4!

• Using the same strategy when fighting against a C4, you can roll into a C4 to send it flying at your target. If you time it right, you could even make it explode right as it passes by your enemy.

• Using a C4 as an effective area denial tool to assess your enemy's strategy is a good tactic. Note that this works with beartraps, too. A C4 creates a big cloud of smoke that you can fire a grenade through once it detonates.

• Making traps with the C4 is a good idea. It requires a bit of prediction and reading, but if you can get the timings down you could make an explosive trap that would make the Demoman from TF2 proud.

In summary, the C4 is a versatile tool that serves as a multi-purpose grenade. Shall you defend or shall you attack? The choice is yours, because this explosion is capable of turning you into a fine, Lego paste.
