C4 Troubles

[Lost Roman]

I'm on mission 4 C2W, and for the life of me I can't get C4 to work right. I sneak in just fine, plant the 4 charges, (3 for the dishes and 1 on the radio equipment), but they just won't go off. When I try it just makes that little buzzer sound. I see the red lights on the C4 and it's making the beeping noise, and I can shoot them just fine. I tried various distances but even right up next to them they won't go off. Not sure if this is a bug or I'm being stupid and missing something right in front of me.

Just FYI 1 for the radio equipment is enough

Yeah I was trying to go for all objectives, but does just doing that mark off all of them? Even so, it's bit difficult when I can't get the C4 to do anything.

You have to detonate it... I mean even Miller or Ocelot tells you how it works, you really don't know ? Or I missunderstand what you are saying, Normally you press the button to get ready to place one and hit the action button instead of the fire one.

Aka hold L2/LT and push Triangle/Y on controller, idk about keyboard

L2+R2 to plant,

L2 hold and then tap triangle/ Y to detonate for me

And what you have to do (at least from my expeirence on ps4) you have to press the Triangle/Y for each C4, if you just press it once - it just blows up one C4.

Yeah I remember him explaining it and that's exactly how I'm doing it, but it won't set any of them off. I'm using the mouse and keyboard setup...I guess I'm going to try just setting it off in the field and seeing what happens.

What are you doing with C4 in that mission?!
Killing those 3 antennas?
Man...

Enter the shed, shoot the electronic equipment with lightblue lights, mission complete.

For C4, select it by pressing 3 on the keyboard (a few times to rotate support items).
Then to plant it somewhere, just click.
Move away and detonate all C4 you planted with rightclick+E.

Huh...maybe it's just a bug or something I'll see about verifying files or whatnot. If shooting the equipment takes care of everything, I can always do that. I do appreciate the fast responses.

You *can* solve the mission by taking out 3 antenna, but shooting the "HiFi" device is faster. ;)

I've just had this problem (I'm on PS4). I used all 4 C4s (3 antenna and one big radio truck thing) and couldn't detonate.

I experimented a bit and I seemed to able to detonate once I had picked up one of them. The initial conclusion would be that you need *at least* 1 C4 in your inventory in order to detonate.

Can anyone confirm? Is anyone able to detonate C4 if they have 0 quantity of C4 in their inventory?

This must be a bug if this is the case - can't understand why this would be by design.
