Ok....Expert explosives badge

I would think it is the most difficult badge to get, especially since after one of the patches (1.2 i think) they made you throw c4 slower.

Everyone who reads this (especially people who earned the badge), post any suggestions/ideas that you may have to get this very difficult badge.

I will start.

-You can either do a 64 player strike approach or a 16 player on a 64 player map.  you choose.
-c4/claymore flags
-c4/claymore respawns
-mine common vehicle routes
-camp near vehicle spawns.  when it spawns, put c4 on it and wait for someone to get in.

And please, suggestions only, no crying that you can't get it like i have seen many people do.

Ok...last time....since I got -1 for posting my badge pic on the other thread you jealous assholes.

Absolute EASIEST way assuming you own Special Forces.

Warlord play as Insurgent sniper. Start at TV station with a supply buddy. The key is the supply buddy. (Thanks again Moose!) At TV place clay at backdoor hall entrance and at base of stairs. Repeat. After a palace flag is taken move back there with your friend. Stay in the 3rd floor planting clay's by each doorway leading in from the hallway. I got my badge with ease.  You will run the risk of getting kicked for whatever reason. (But really for owning the asshole who can't stop running into your claymore) Your victims, after the 5th clay, WILL bitch for the whole round.

Happy hunting!


Edit for grammar...

Come in as sniper on Warlord and bring a supply guy to the TV Station and then the 3rd floor Palace. Alternate locations all round on a 300 ticket 16-24 slot 64 size map. It may take you 2 or 3 rounds to hit the right people who won't give up but it will happen. You can do this as SAS or Insurgent.

Some servers are now saying no C4 or Clays in buildings this may limit your abilities.

64 player karkand with 16-30 people in it. 

Play USMC and strap c4 to humvees, when you get close to any enemy just press F4 and detonate. I had about 10 minutes to spare when I did it a while ago.

Go to Hotel in Karkand and spam claymores, also if you happen to walk by an engineer bag grab it and put some mines in the streets, you'll get those points if your the enemy's vehicles drive by them. Hope it helps you out (note: I'm not in a hurry to get that badge but my tips work).

Yeah i think the tv station method on Warlord is the best one (I use C4 though). I just put one inside the door to the first stairs, lie on the first flight and replace as necessary. You'll need ammo, but people usually chuck it, or a support mate can sit next to you.
I love it when the sas team are like "must....capture...tv....station...body...expendable". So retarded, some people just don't give up. The best I got was about 18 kills, and 4 at once at the start.

My Tip if u can get away with it is this go to Pistol and Knife Server Only and Just throw as many claymores as you can Thats how I got it after trying it for almost 4 days

Sum of the things u have 2 make sure on is this

Admin is not online
64 map is on

Kick vote will work 100% on this server and u will be kicked By sucsesfull kick vote.

like I sead i got myin on  knife and pistol only server Throwing Claymore everywhere

Just thought of another suggestion:

On Wake 2007, be Chinese and get on the USMC carrier.  Make a squad with a buddy and make him support for ammo.  He be squad leader and you can spawn on him all the time (don't let him die) place explosives all over the deck of carrier near air vechicles and repeat.

Warlord's the gold map pretty much.

The TV station, though...  it's a toughy.  Your clays are competing with a bunch of other sniper clays so good luck.  Second, many playing SAS have gotten smart about it and take the square and move on to others, some just pushing straight for the palace.  I've had better luck lately just running from the station over to the Square and throwing clays down in some of the alleys between the two.

The other thought, and one I'm thinking of pushing more and more, is to spawn as Assault with SAS.  If you can, create a squad and get your squad to head straight to the palace and take the 3rd floor map.  I've done this solo a few times.  Why wait for the battle to go where you want it to?  You can potentiall force the battle where you want it to!

Once the battle's inside, there's a few options.  The side staircase is used constantly by the other team that'll make  a run across to the room below the 3rd floor flag then head up the stairs.  Many times, it's a squad with the SL staying there (no one ever checks there for enemies).  You can potentially rack up kills this way.

Another option is to take the front balcony route across to near the 2nd flag hallway and throw clays there.  That way you get anyone coming down the main hall. 

If they're pushing and you're more on defense, get clays planted before the main room staircase.  They could go up the stairs or they could come across from the front balcony.  You're covered either way in this case.

Do it on Warlord 64 size, 16 or so players max, be SAS, load up atvs and go nail armor.  Easy..

Just be sure to put down those clay`s so they are least visible.

Going into the 3rd floor flag at the palace at Warlord and hide the clay`s behind the door facing the flag, this way u also cover the two doors from the balcony incase they come in from the roof.

And like many others have pointed out, have a supplydude nearby, its crucial - ask when u join the server if a supply can join your squad - have gotten a good supplydude many times.

And if u care about your teammates tell them what your up to, so they`ll keep out of blastradius, nothing more irritating than having a dedicated teamkiller on your heals when going for the badge.

I shared my plot two nights ago going for the badge and where i was but still managed to get stalked by a teamkiller feeling unjust because he was in the wrong spot when an enemy ran in the door.

He followed me, cursed at me over voip, killing me 5 - 6 times, he even joined my squad as support only to deny me ammo when needed - he ended the round with a shitty score and a dry mouth, i ended the round with 41 claymorekills, expert explosives ordinance badge,13 flagdefends and a bronzemedal
