REC-6 Demolisher

The REC-6 Satchel Charge is an explosive charge with a handle, capable of being remotely detonated using the reload action at the time of the wielder's choosing. The explosion is powerful enough to take out objectives and most heavily armored enemies. The REC-6 is part of the Demolitionist equipment kit.

Unlock Requirement
The REC-6 is a DLC stratagem, available at any rank to those who purchase the Demolitionist equipment kit.

Weapon Stats

 * Using the 'Reload' action will detonate the charge, which can be done either while it is in mid-air or at any point after it has landed.


 * A player can not carry more than one specific batch of Demolishers at a time. If another batch is called down, picking that up will switch out one batch for the other.
 * Only the batch of Demolishers currently carried can be exploded with the 'Reload' command. If all charges in the batch have been thrown but not yet detonated, the 'empty' batch (showing a count of "0") can still be picked up and detonated, after which it will disapper.

Gameplay Tips

 * Against heavily armored enemies such as Cyborg IFVs, Hulks, Warlords or Bug Impalers, Tanks and Behemoths, Demolishers are much more effective when detonated on the ground rather than in mid-air. IFVs can be one-shotted by detonating the Demolisher if rolled onto the vehicle's hull (especially near its turret) or if dropped right next to the rear hatch of the vehicle.


 * This stratagem can be used to destroy mission targets (Cyborg AA Guns, Bug Nests or Illuminate Beacons), instead of the standard-issue NUX&#8209;223 Hellbomb. The charges must be rolled up to the very base of the AA Gun or Beacon, or they will do no damage. In the case of Bug Nests, however, detonating the charge in mid-air while it is flying over the nest will reliably destroy it.
