C4 MASTER GUIDE

C4, or Composition-4, is a combination of various chemicals and explosive material, of which can only be detonated with high pressure, heat, or an electrical jolt. C4 has gained a lot of public notary due to its exposure in the media, such as movies and use in the military.

The advantages C4 has in the real world is that it can be molded or pressed into any desired shape. Specifically, it can be smashed into any sized gap or void to completely hide its presence to the enemy, particularly in cracks in buildings, bridges, or even machinery. Similarly, it can easily be inserted into everyday devices, like suitcases or packages, much like the kinds you see in Call of Duty 4. However, a flashing red light is usually not present in the real life counterpart.

In Call of Duty 4, C4 explosive packets are available in the first perk slot. Best used with close-quarter classes, in the right hands and with correct placement, C4 can be a devastating surprise to your enemy. It can be used tactically to engage really any situation and with its considerable range when thrown, C4 can wreak havoc on your enemies. Use it mainly to defend an objective or send an embarrassing Kill Cam to a camping sniper by tossing a packet of C4 on top of him!

Choosing Your Class

Use C4 packets with a class you are comfortable handling CQC (Close Quarters Combat) situations with. C4 is only truly effective at close range, so taking a weapon suited for this range will get you in a better location to use your C4. I recommend using an SMG or shotgun, in particular. Both of these weapon classes put you in a great position to toss your C4 and protect areas with them.

Where to Throw Your C4

Toss C4 packets into "hot spots" that receive a lot of traffic from enemies. Make sure to put it in a discrete spot so it isn't easily seen, but still will have the maximum potential blast radius. An example would be any of the four main entrances to the market in District. A great spot to hide the blinking red light of the C4 packet, which is usually the most obvious feature of the C4, is in tall grass, on a wall, or on the ceiling.

Putting it directly in a doorway or in the middle of the floor won't fool even a beginner, as shown in the picture below, so choose your placement wisely. Instead you might stick it on the shutters or in the tall grass to be more inconspicuous. Even if your target notices the flashing light, chances are he has already moved within range of the detonation

Make sure when tossing both packets of C4 that they are spread out from each other. If you place two packets nearly on top of each other you severely limit the potential blast radius of both packets. By placing two packets farther apart you double the blast radius causing more destruction over a larger area.

Use other explosives like cars and red barrels to your advantage. Place a packet of C4 on the side of or under a car to greatly increase the blast radius. As shown in the pictures above and below, it's better to place the C4 on the side opposite to where people travel so it's impossible for them to detect it.

Plant another packet of C4 on an adjacent car and you will have prepared a massive explosion covering such a large area that no one who even has the time to notice it will be able to escape. Anyone within striking distance of the detonation will not stand a chance



How To Throw Your C4

Throwing C4 at close range is easy for any level of player to do with accuracy. You can be waiting inconspicuously for someone to come around the corner, toss it in their face and detonate it before they can pull up for the shot.

Throwing it at long range can be more difficult with walls, buildings, and other obstacles that might might get in the way, not to mention getting the timing right. It's actually not hard to hit someone on the roof of a building, but when it comes to having to toss C4 through a window at distance, that's where it gets technical. However, it just takes practice getting the trajectory path right and leading a moving target correctly.

Protecting Objectives

C4 is the most effective in guarding and protecting objectives such as a Headquarters, a flag in Domination, or a bomb site in Sabotage or Search and Destroy. You have a couple of options when you decide to take up an objective and protect it:

Plant C4 in the surrounding areas

By doing this, you should plant your C4 in very inconspicuous areas. Like mentioned before, the walls and ceilings of buildings are great spots to hide your packets. You need to be sure you have a visual on the area that your C4 is protecting. If you see an enemy approaching your C4 make sure you time it correctly and detonate.

Plant C4 directly on the objective

This is better suited for a Sabotage or Search and Destroy match where the C4 packet can be hidden underneath the bomb. By lying prone next to a bomb site, C4 can be placed directly underneath and completely out of sight of the enemy. If you guard a bomb site closely, this can be an easy, fast way to eliminate an enemy bomb planter

Placing C4 on top of a Domination flag is also a very good way to defend in this game. Because it takes time to capture a flag, you have a warning when your flag is being captured by the enemy. Place C4 on your own objective and detonate it when you hear it is being lost. The best part of this tactic is you don't even have to be in the area; you can be on the other side of the map going after enemies and when you hear the sound just press the "Use" key. By doing this you allow for great defense of specific flags without having to camp on top of them.
