The '''Sticky Bombs''' are new explosives that are exclusive to [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]. They are thrown, and stick to any vehicle or surface they hit. They can then be detonated by pressing Down on the d-pad or shooting them. Note that unlike the Satchel Charges of San Andreas, these bombs do not stick to people. The Sticky Bombs are seen in the Weazel News Trailer, which is used by the [[Terrorism Expert]]. When thrown the bombs emit a steady beep and a yellow light flashes. When activated the beep rises in pitch and speed, and the light turns red, then after second, they detonate. The blast radius is similar to a [[grenade]]. Sticky Bombs are first introduced in the mission [[Bang Bang]].

The Sticky Bomb and its associated HUD icon

Sticky Bombs are explosives featured in The Ballad of Gay Tony and Grand Theft Auto V. They can be thrown and stick to any surface they hit, but, unlike the Satchel Charges from GTA San Andreas, these bombs do not stick to people. They can then be detonated by pressing Down on the d-pad or shooting them. When thrown the bombs emit a steady beep and a yellow light flashes. When activated the beep rises in pitch and speed, and the light turns red, then after less than a second, they detonate. The blast radius is similar to a grenade. Up to ten(two in multiplayer) Sticky Bombs can be placed; throwing out the eleventh(third in multiplayer) will cause the first one to disappear. The bombs have a 90 second fuse, so if an armed bomb is left undetonated for 90 seconds, it will automatically detonate.
