In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, pairing your weapons with lethal and tactical equipment can significantly enhance your ability to inflict damage on enemies, while also allowing you to increase your pace of play. By adding C4 explosives to your loadout, you can capitalize on additional kill opportunities, either by using them as a trap or as a frag grenade. However, merely carrying these weapons isn’t enough; timely detonation is crucial for success. In the following discussion, we’ll explore the proper techniques for detonating your explosives effectively.
