How much c4 does it take to kill a plague heart in a danger zone?

[Stardustfire]

tell me when you find a plague hearth outside of a plague (thats what you mean with danger i guess) zone....
joke aside, if you think about stacking c4 around a hearth and instantkill it with that, forget it. they have a stupid mechanic that makes them explosive immun for a very short frame after an explosive goes of, so the first thing detonates, the other follow miliseconds later and only the first deals dmg becasue of that. and that what makes c4 one of the worst ways to kill them. after the first detonation you have your hands full to reach teh hearth again and deploy another charge, even with the zentblock, thnx to zombies still block you. lobbing explosives are the way to go, militaery grenades or bloater gas grenades you enflame with pipe bombs or flares.

You need 3 C4 to kill a plague heart from 100% down on lethal difficulty.
But you need to set them one by one.

For comparison:
You need
7 nades
13 40mm nades
15 .50 shots (tested with both B50FG and Timberlake)
~55 7.62 shots (with ak and adv. brake)
~70 5.56 shots (with maserwork assault rifle and adv. brake)
~55 12g shots (with AA12 and adv. choke)
~85 .22 shots (with Uzi 22 and adv. brake)
~75 .45 shots (with Spec Ops Vector and adv. brake)

11 Fuel Bombs
15 Molotovs
3 ignited Bloater Gas Grenades (use a Road Flare)
1 Drone Strike + 2 Pipe Bombs (or 3 Soda Can Bombs)
7 Thermite Grenades (I think)

I always used to stack them and make it explode in one shot, always worked
