Dark Forces Hints
Thermal Detonators
Yes, they are just like the Thermal Detonators Leia used to threaten Jabba the Hutt in Return of the Jedi! You can throw this weapon like a grenade -- the longer you hold down the button, the farther the Detonators flies -- or by rolling it on the ground (press Z).
They're very useful for hitting enemies on a lower level than you, or in open areas. If you're in an area with low ceilings, don't bother with this weapon. You'll only get hurt by the blasts. Ree-Yees carry these around.
