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.

Synergies

• Bobby-Bomb

  Gives 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.
• Broken Remote

  Triggers the Teleport effect whenever an activated item is used.

  - Allows for unlimited teleportation.
• Dr. Fetus

  Tears are replaced by bombs that benefit from bomb-enhancing effects and slide a fixed range after being fired.

  - Remote Detonator can be used to explode the fired bombs early, which can be useful against moving enemies.
• No. 2

  Continuously firing tears for several seconds causes Isaac to drop a Butt Bomb. Butt Bombs explode for 50 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.
• Scatter Bombs

  Adds 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.

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.

Trivia

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