It's kind of tricky to time if you don't have the upgrade that gives you an indication when demons are in range of the blast, a white flare. When you see that, you press the right mouse button. Even then it takes a little time to get used to. It's great to get shield guys into glory kill and of course to falter groups of enemies. For that you need the second upgrade. Remote det doesn't do a lot of damage, it's more of a tactical tool.

If you are coming from Doom 2016 where remoted det was devastating you might be disappointed. Lock on is certainly an easier to use mod and way more effective against single targets.

Check this out, if you want to know more about basic and advanced use of the remote det mod:

In the first video he talks a little too much about Doom 2016. The second and third one will give you more info on how to use it in Eternal.

I don't think the problem is a lack of understanding of the mod. I think the problem is that the button to trigger the remote detonation is not working.

@Dexter_Willy

Can you post a screenshot of your arsenal screen for the Rocket Launcher?

It's possible, but would other mods work then? OP has to clarify.
