In ''Battlefield: Bad Company 2'', '''C4''' handles very similarly to DTN-4 in ''Battlefield: Bad Company'', except that the player doesn't need to equip the C4 in advance of deploying it. In singleplayer, it can be found on many levels, but it unfortunately does not carry over to the next level in the campaign. When equipped, the player can deploy a maximum of 6 satchels at a time, and after that, the satchels start to disappear starting with the first one placed. It can be useful against vehicles, bridges and buildings, and can also be a very good smokescreen for the player after it is detonated. The player's C4 will be replenished at ammo crates. |

A 1.25 lb (0.57 kg) block of C4 in real life.
C-4 or Composition 4 is a common variety of the plastic explosive known as Composition-C, a mix of RDX, plastic binder, plasticizer, and a marker chemical to identify its source. It is 1.34 times as explosive as dynamite and has been in use since the 1960's when it was developed. C-4 is often used primarily in breaching obstacles or demolition of large structures where large charges are required. C-4 has been featured in Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2142, Battlefield: Bad Company, and Battlefield: Bad Company 2.
Battlefield 2
In Battlefield 2, C4 is issued to the Special Forces Kit. It is most commonly used to destroy enemy armored vehicles, as well as enemy installations such as Artillery and UAV Trailers.

Battlefield 2142
In Battlefield 2142, the RDX DemoPak is an unlockable gadget for the Recon Kit. It preforms much like it does in Battlefield 2, but with a slightly larger blast.

Battlefield: Bad Company
In Battlefield: Bad Company, DTN-4 can be found in various places in the singleplayer campaign. When picked up, the player has 5 sticks of DTN-4 and the detonator. It is deployed with R1 Button (PS3)/Right Trigger (X360) and detonated with the same button/trigger. In order to place more than one charge, the player must press the Square/X button to bring up another stick. It is needed to destroy the bridges in Ghost Town to hold off the US advance so Bravo-One Charlie can continue through Sadiz unimpeded.
In multiplayer, DTN-4 is an unlockable gadget for the Specialist Kit. C4 can be thrown short distances and is detonated remotely by the player. The C4 is useful for breaching walls to get to objectives. It can destroy most vehicles with a single pack. The player can place multiple packs to assure destruction.

thumb|300px|right In Battlefield: Bad Company 2, C4 handles very similarly to DTN-4 in Battlefield: Bad Company, except that the player doesn't need to equip the C4 in advance of deploying it. In singleplayer, it can be found on many levels, but it unfortunately does not carry over to the next level in the campaign.

In multiplayer, C4 is used by the Recon Kit, or by the Assault Kit when using a weapon unlocked for all Kits, and it is the most powerful explosive available in-game (except for the ATM-00, which has the same damage). A common tactic, often used in Rush is to fill the house or room that the station is with C4, then when the bomb is planted the user destroys the building and kills everyone in it, this often results in double, triple, or multi-kills. In a Rush game, it takes 23 C4 charges to destroy the objective (or 19 with the Improved Demolitions specialization). This practice, however, is highly frowned upon by many players in the community as it is a cheap method as opposed to arming and detonating the charge instead.
Another strategy is to use it in combination with the Motion Sensor as a trap. By throwing some C4 satchels onto the ground/onto a vehicle, and throwing a motion sensor near the position, a Recon player can detonate the C4 when enemy players move near to the area/vehicle.
A highly frowned upon tactic, known as "Jihadi-Quading", is for players to load a Quad Bike, UAV or other helicopter with C4, then drive/fly it into anything and detonate the explosives safely. However, this is commonly an ineffective tactic that results in the player commiting (in-game) suicide, or the loss of a valuable vehicle.
