Satchel Charges

The HUD icon in GTA San Andreas.
A Satchel Charge.

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.

Trivia

  • In the mission Against All Odds Carl is handed some Satchel Charges by Catalina, which he replied "Satchel charges?! Where the hell'd you get them?". This is hilarious because the player can purchase satchel charges from any Ammu-Nation outlet.
