C4

Summary
The C4 spawns in the Parkour Island obstacle in R2DA Wipeout II, where it drops from the clouds above. They explode about 1 and a half seconds after hitting the ground, and if you're caught in its blast radius, you will more than likely be blown into the water and die.

Background Story
After the fall of King Crab, the survivors salvaged loads of explosive crabs which proved to be useful in desperate situations. On his adventure to thwart the survivors' progress, Papa Squid found these crabs and salvaged their shells, which held their explosive properties, and reshaped them to resemble C4's. He decided to use them in the obstacle course he was creating.

Tips

 * These take a little bit to explode after hitting the ground, so if one is near you, you have a bit of time.
 * If you hear a C4, wait to take a jump - it could be right above you and you may not even know it.
 * You can use the Karambit to completely avoid these.

Trivia

 * Sometimes, a C4 will hit the edge of a brick, causing it to fly into the water, thus rendering it inneffective.
