F.E.A.R. Hints

M77 Remote Bomb

  • Max Carried: 5
    First Found: Interval 03, Bad Water

    These are like the pipe bombs in Duke Nukem 3D and the C4 satchels in Half-Life. Set one or more of them up, then use the detonator to blow them all up at once. These can be used similarly to proximity grenades to set up traps to lead enemies into. Note that remote bombs are sticky, and you can toss them so that they'll stick to walls and other vertical or slanting surfaces.

    In fact, remote bombs can stick to enemies, too! If you stick one to an enemy who then retreats back to his unit, you can detonate it to blow them all up. (Once a bomb is stuck to someone, they can't get it off even if they try.) It can also be effective to move up near larger foes like Power Armor creatures, stick a bomb or two to them, and then quickly retreat before detonating. Use SlowMo to help in this type of operation.
