'''Plastic Explosives''' are explosives in ''[[Fallout]]'', ''[[Fallout 2]]'', ''[[Fallout Tactics]]'' and a cut content weapon in ''[[Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel]]''.
   
 
Plastique was used for decades prior to the War as a mining tool, and is still useful for removing inconvenient nature. Like its more primitive cousin, [[Dynamite]], Plastique is both a tool and a weapon. In this case, it takes the form of a large wad of Cordex, a military-grade blasting agent. It has been fitted with a blasting cap, itself wired to a timer. Although an antenna projects from the detonator assembly, there is no provision for remote detonation. As for man-made obstructions, plastique can also remove many types of doors.

===Differences with Dynamite===
 
Plastic explosive is, pound for pound, more powerful than dynamite, causing 40-80 points of damage, and sports a wider blast radius. Correspondingly, plastic explosive is more expensive than dynamite.
 
 
===Availability===
 
Plastic explosive is harder to come by when scrounging, but military facilities often have at least a few charges in stock. Most shops do not carry plastic explosives, even if they carry dynamite. In terms of shopping, the best bet is to try higher-end weapons shops. Along with their big-ticket guns may be a few bundles of plastique.

==Applicable Perks==
 
[[Image:DemolitionsExpert.gif|frame|Demolition Expert]]
 
Players disposed to using plastic explosive, as well as the more docile [[dynamite]], would benefit from gaining the [[Demolition Expert]] [[perk]]. With this perk, the player will never have a premature detonation (which will ruin the timed-patrol tactic), and the explosive used will deal an additional 10 points of damage.

A chunk of Cordex, a military brand of plastic explosives. Highly stable, very destructive. Includes a timer.

Plastic Explosives are explosives in Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics and a cut content weapon in Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel.

Plastique was used for decades prior to the War as a mining tool, and is still useful for removing inconvenient nature. Like its more primitive cousin, Dynamite, Plastique is both a tool and a weapon. In this case, it takes the form of a large wad of Cordex, a military-grade blasting agent. It has been fitted with a blasting cap, itself wired to a timer. Although an antenna projects from the detonator assembly, there is no provision for remote detonation. As for man-made obstructions, plastique can also remove many types of doors.
