C4 persistence — does it depend on where you plant it

battlefield-3

I find that when I die sometimes my C4 stays put and sometimes it's gone, but I can't be sure without any controlled testing.

It seems to me that if I put C4 on the ground, then die, I can still blow it up once I respawn.

But if I am killed after placing my C4 on an enemy vehicle, once I respawn I never am able to kill that vehicle by using my detonator.

Does the game remove them upon death only when they are placed on enemy vehicles?

Best Answer

I am almost positive C4 has the same rules as mines. On the ground, they will stay there until they are blown up / triggered. Although, when you place C4 on vehicles and then die, you are correct: The game will remove those items. I assume they set that up so players cannot camp enemy vehicle spawns through lives.

EDIT

C4 will no longer be detonable after a player respawns, if the player is revived within 5 seconds he can still detonate his C4.
