Remote Detonator is an activated item.

Effect

• Activating the Remote Detonator will cause all bombs you've placed to explode.
• Bombs will no longer explode without usage of the detonator.
• Gives 5 bombs when picked up. If picked up a second time in the same run, this effect will not be applied.

Notes

• Remote Detonator gives you five bombs for the price of three (using the bombs on the Donation Machine to trade for coins) when bought at a shop, making its purchase a good value if the player is low on bombs.
• Remote Detonator does not control the explosions of Troll Bombs and Mega Troll Bombs.

Synergies

• Bobby-BombGives Isaac 5 Bombs, and causes all dropped bombs to home towards the closest enemy.: Bombs placed will chase after the enemy, making it easier to deal massive amounts of damage to enemies.
• Dr. FetusTears are replaced by bombs that benefit from bomb-enhancing effects and slide for a fixed time after being fired.: Remote Detonator can be used to explode the fired bombs early, which can be useful against moving enemies.
• No. 2Continuously firing tears for several seconds causes Isaac to drop a Butt Bomb. Butt Bombs explode for 60 damage like normal bombs, but also deal 10 damage to all enemies in the room and daze them for a short period of time.: The bombs automatically dropped by No. 2 will not detonate on their own, greatly reducing the risk of accidental explosive self-damage.
• Curse of the TowerCauses Isaac to spawn 6 troll bombs on the floor every time he gets hit, similar to the Anarchist Cookbook mechanic.: The Troll Bombs generated upon taking damage will not explode until the Remote Detonator is used, unlike normal Troll Bombs.

Interactions

• Scatter BombsAdds 5 bombs. Isaac's bombs explode into 2-4 tiny bombs.: Remote Detonator can be used on the original bomb, but not on the small bombs that are spawned.

Trivia

• This item is used in Challenge #9 (Demo Man).
