Havoc Charge

| — In-game description |
The Havoc Charge (simply known as Havoc) is a large deployable Explosive Charge that deals massive demolition Damage. A separate detonator is needed to detonate the explosive.
Description
The Havoc Charge is a large explosive that is deployed on the ground in a 4s animation. The deployment of a Havoc Charge Detonator on top of it is required before it can be detonated. It is detonated by being shot by friendly small arms. The explosion deals 1950 Demolition damage in a 6m radius and quickly decreasing amounts in a 7m radius. Uniquely, the explosion does not damage friendly Havoc Charges. As a Large Item, the player can only carry one in their large item slot, occupying their hands.
It is designed to destroy extremely resistant structures. It has a chance to turn into ruins Garrisoned Houses that suffer from devastation. It can disable the subsystems of armored vehicles.
It can be deployed nearly anywhere, even on beaches, roads, rocks, bridges, on top of structures, in trenches, or inside roofed structures.
The charge is instantly deleted if shot by enemies.
Enemy AI soldiers do not shoot at Havoc Charges since they are considered neutral structures.
Usage
Large Item Handling
It can be picked up from the ground with V and dropped on the ground with V (or Shift+V if another "V" interaction is available). It can be submitted to a structure/vehicle's stockpile or inventory with V or by clicking the "Submit Large Item" 
button in their interface. It can be retrieved from a Material Pallet, Rooster - Tumblebox, or Storage Room by pressing V without having to open their interface. It is automatically dropped if the player draws a weapon or equipment.

- Equip the charge
- Press
Bto get into placement mode - Press
LMBon a valid location - After a 2s deployment animation that immobilizes the player the charge is deployed
- Equip the Havoc Charge Detonator
- Press
Bto get into placement mode - Press
LMBon a deployed Havoc Charge - After a 2s animation that immobilizes the player, the detonator is installed
- Shoot the charge with any small arms (Light Kinetic damage) to detonate it.
Disassembly
- Press
Eto open the charge's interface - Click the "Pack Up" button
at the bottom - After a 2s disassembly animation that immobilizes the player, the Havoc Charge drops on the ground (and the detonator if one was installed)
Production
| Structure | Input(s) | Output | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
 Factory (Utility) | 75 x Basic Materials  40 x Heavy Explosive Powder  | 1 Crate of 5 x Havoc Charge  | 00:01:00 |
The Havoc Charge Detonator must be fully researched in the Weapons and Structure 
Tech Tree in order to be produced.
Storage
It does not stack in inventories (1 per slot).
Unlike most Large Items, it can only be stored in the stockpiles of Bases (32k max), it does not fit in Material Pallets, Rooster - Tumblebox Trailer, Material Transfer Stations, Small Flatbed Car, or Storage Rooms.
Crates of Havoc Charge can be directly submitted to any item stockpile that accepts that item to transfer their content.The crates can also be stored in the crate stockpiles of Storage Depots (1000 public, 100 per Reserve Stockpile), Seaports (1000 public, 100 per Reserve Stockpile), Shipping Containers (60), or Storage Ships (1000).
It can be transported by almost any vehicle with inventory slots. However it is much more efficient to transport it in bulk amounts as crates, either delivering them to a Base's stockpile with a Truck or to a crate stockpile with shipping vehicles carrying Shipping Containers.
Tactics
Given its complex deployment process, a team of two soldiers is necessary. It should either be used in areas without enemy player presence and without active defenses, or used on frontlines with support from friendly suppressing fire and Smoke Grenade to protect the carriers. A group of two players can rush inside enemy Garrisoned Houses or Safe Houses to plant a Havoc Charge and destroy the building with a single explosion.
