How long are the explosives good?

[govedob]

After you place lets say two claymores, or 5 AT mines, for how long are they good for, especially if you get killed? If you reload your amo, can you plant few more, or is it going to cancel the previous ones?

It cancels the previous ones.
For example only 5 mines out at a time.
only 2 claymores at a time.
It also applies to C4.

They will disappear (forgot the time mabye around 30sec) if you pick some other class weapon.

I've never noticed that. In fact today as sniper I had something like 4 claymores out and yesterday I had like 10 mines out.

Re: How long are the explosives good?

So what happens if you place 2 claymores, you die, and when you respawn you place 1 more for example?

im almost positive that the 2 claymore limit doesnt work.

ive had like 5 claymores out, and none of them disappear or anything, even after i die....

After you die they eventually dissappear but it takes a while( i have heard that it is as long a 7 minutes)

If you have 2 out and you drop another, the first one you drop will vanish. This stays true if you die or not.

Wrong again. No suprises there.

If you change kit, your deployed explosves vanish when your kit does. Otherwise, they hang out for as long as normal (if you don't drop more).

Side note: If you plant C4 then die, you can still detonate your planed charges if you can get back to your dropped kit and pick it up. Gotta be hella fast tho... you only get about 10 (maybe 15?) seconds before it vanishes.

2 claymores is the limit, unless you're playing pre-1.21. I don't think the limit was programmed in untill 1.21.
