Car Bombs [Edit]

Last updated by Plomped @06:33:51 14th May 2012

You can use car bombs to blow up a vehicle. They generate an explosion much bigger than a normal vehicle explosion, and they are very easy to use.

To purchase a car bomb, you need to find a bomb shop - they are marked by a "BS" on the mini-map. They cost $100,000 and you can only hold one at a time.

To rig a vehicle, get in the driver's seat, type "/bomb", and then type '1' into the chat box to select the first option (Rig Vehicle). You can do this quickly by typing "/b 1" (/b is short for /bomb). Once rigged, the car bomb can only be lost if:

  • You die.
  • The vehicle is destroyed (if the car bomb is detonated, the vehicle will be destroyed).
  • An admin disables the bomb manually.
  • You leave the server.
  • The car was bought by another player and they leave the server (causing the car to disappear).
  • You do not detonate the bomb for 12 game hours (it will expire and disappear).
  • Someone steals the vehicle and sells it at a car shop.

To detonate your car bomb, type "/bomb" and then "1", or "/b 1" for short.

Anyone who is in the vehicle will die immediately, and others caught in the blast may also die. If there are any players with hit contracts in the car, you will receive the bounty. If a player is killed by the blast and was not inside the vehicle, you may not receive credit for completing the hit contract.

There is a 10% chance of failure when attempting to detonate a car bomb.

Deathmatching
Car bombs are not considered deathmatching; it is not against the rules to use them on any player for any reason. However, repeated harassment via car bombs is considered following/harassing a player which you may be reported for.

Note
Sometimes if an event is running, you will not be able to detonate a car bomb. If this happens, you may ask for a refund in the Refunds section on the SACNR forums.
