Satchel Charges
The Satchel Charges are a remotely-detonated explosive from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Description
When satchel charges are planted, the player gains a detonator in an additional weapon slot; by firing the detonator, the charges explode. Satchel charges can be detonated from any distance, and with any time delay, assuming they still exist. There is a limit on the amount of satchel charges that can be placed in the game: 32. After the limit is reached, any further placement of the charges won't appear in the game. They will stick to walls and vehicles if thrown on them.
Note that once you place a satchel charge, citizens around you will begin to scream and run away, and most of the time, you will receive one star.
There is a glitch, when you throw a charge and save the game, the charges disappear, but the detonator is still in your inventory.
