    Far Cry 5, Grenade/explosive use.

    I am unable to fathom how to toss a grenade or explosive in FC5. I understand that I open the weapons wheel, select the explosive and then press T or the scroll wheel to toss it. I am sorry to be a d--khead but I am 76 years old and not too PC conversant. When I do the above I end up throwing a stone. Grateful for someone to enlighten me with detailed steps....Thanks.........confused:

    If you're on a PC your press and hold the center mouse button/ scroll wheel. Then release

    Unable to stick explosives to objects (PS4)

    Hi there,

    I´m not 70 years old (I´m afraid I´m only 37) but I´m also experiencing problems in terms of explosives.
    I´m playing on PS4 and of course understood how to choose the right weapons.

    BUT

    The moment I´m trying to stick C4 to a silo or vehicle, it only drops to the ground and I never see this yellow shadow that is supposed to indicate the spot where it should finally stick.

    Pls help, would be very great!

    THX

    Mike

    When you get the proximity explosives they blow up enemy vehicles very easily. If an outpost calls in the troops a proximity explosive works a treat and its the same as a grenade, same keys.

    Thanks rioseven, problem solved

    Hey,

    thank you for the tip with proximity explosives, but that was not the question.
    Nevermind, I was just too stupid to figure out that I had to gain the ability to use adhesive explosives =))))

    Now it works just fine (and I thought, it was a bug)....


    Have a good one
    Mike

    I'm having the same problem but I wanted to thank you for letting me know that I'm not the only older gentleman playing PC sims and games. I'm 57 and if I live to my retirement I plan to continue this past time.

    Open weapon wheel, highlight the explosives at the bottom-right (4-o-clock on the wheel), then use the mouse wheel to scroll through the explosives (dynamite, pipe bombs and grenades).

    Once grenades are selected go back to the game and press mouse3 (middle mouse button) to throw.

    Grenades, dynamite and C4 are not 'sticky' by default. You must purchase this ability from the shop (after unlocking the related perk), and then you can turn 'sticky' on/off in the weapon wheel.

    Oh geez. I've read and read and tried and tried without success. I use R1 to highlight explosives and rotate to remote explosive, then I'm stuck. If I tried to throw, I only throw a can. If I use X, I only jump. No combination seems to work and none of the threads explain this well enough to solve this problem. Am I not selecting the remote explosive even tho it shows up on the weapons wheel? When I release R1, the weapons wheel just goes away. What am I doing wrong?
