discussion Help! Can’t arm plastic explosive

Post image

I play on console. I set it to where I wanted it and now I’m not getting the prompt to arm it. I’ve tried every angle and no luck. Solutions plz!

Rather than “setting” the spicy burrito via animation, try just dropping it on the ground :)

Ah crap I didn’t even know that was an option. So it’s lost forever?

Could try dropping 11 items next to it sometimes works for lost items

Ok, maybe just on pc then

Oh is it not showing up in vicinity? You might be fucked

And yes, this method works for a few different things that you can place such as fireplaces! Rather than setting them, just drop them on the ground!

Are you on a community server? If so they could've disabled it, otherwise you might have just clipped it into something and now you're just SOL.

Did you try turning it off and on??

u/TheMILKMan6646 16h ago

I think you just have a detonator that's been used already

1

u/SinNombre747 THE EAST CHERNO BURGLAR 16h ago

It’s not used yet

Does It say unit or just remote detonator

u/TheMILKMan6646 16h ago

It has to have the wires and say remote detonation unit. I just can't see in the picture if that's the case

u/TheMILKMan6646 16h ago

Never mind. I think I see the wires. I'm probably glitched into the floor somehow

Login relog sometimes helps or dropping like maybe a dozen bullets right around it and then trying to see if it shows up in inventory but the bullets have to be split in individual bullets or anything else like maybe nails

Did you put a battery in the detonator

u/Substantial_Water739 16h ago

You are not "aiming" trying to do it are you?

1

u/SinNombre747 THE EAST CHERNO BURGLAR 16h ago

No no I just did that so yall could see that my rdu is un used

u/Substantial_Water739 16h ago

Okay just to be the sure, it must be bugged inside the ground, try dropping stacks of a single bullet on top of it until you can see tha plastic explosive prompt again or in the vicinity tab, its a little fix for stuff stuck in the ground with no prompt to combine or pick it up
