C4

Makes a soldier arm a structure with a demolition charge instead of shooting at it.

Value

no

Setting this also forces Infiltrate=yes on, in the same pass and after that key has been read, so a section that carries C4=yes cannot write Infiltrate=no.

The soldier takes the demolitions cursor over a Repairable=yes structure and an ordinary attack cursor over one without it, which is the split between shooting a barrel and bombing a war factory. Arming a structure covers what the charge then does; the saboteur survives it.

The C4 ability reaches the same cursor and the same computer-side mission conversions, so a veteran or elite type that holds it behaves as a saboteur without the setting. Both alike exempt an infantry from the rule that kills anything finishing a move on rock or water.
