Detonate a HE Charge

How to unlock the Boom! achievement in Brink - Definitive Guide

This achievement requires that you set and detonate a High-Explosive charge. The HE Charge is included in the Standard Soldier Kit - Simply switch to Soldier class at a Command Post (or spawn as one initially - you will spawn as a Soldier if you have not picked a Preferred Class) and you're good to go, no further abilities require purchase.

In order to place a HE Charge, you must hold the X button to interact with a Destruction Objective - usually a bridge, door, or generator that needs destroying. After a short animation, your charge will be set.

Enemy engineers can still defuse your charge! Stay nearby and guard it until it detonates. All HE Charges have a 40 second timer. It will take a single engineer roughly 3-4 seconds to disarm a charge, multiple engineers working in tandem will disarm much faster - almost instantenously.

Destruction objectives can be found using the Objective Wheel with D-Pad Up. Some easily locatable Destruction objectives are:

SECURITY Day 1: Hostage Rescue
RESISTANCE Day 2: Breakout
SECURITY Day 4: Dirty Bomb

On each of these missions (and more), the first Primary Objective is a Destruction Objective.

The achievement will unlock the moment your charge detonates.

This achievement is for setting and detonating an explosive during a mission. To do this, you need to be the Soldier class and have an objective that usually begins with Destroy. Just follow the objective, hold X to plant your charge and help defend it for 25-40 seconds until it detonates for this easy achievement.

There will be objectives in missions where you must plant this charge. Run to this objective and hold on it. A timer will start and you must protect the charge until it explodes. While on the list of missions, just highlight and anything that says "destroy" in it as an objective description means you will be planting a charge.

As a Soldier, You will need to blow up a door, if you Play the Day 1: Hostage Rescue. Once the HE charge has blown up the trophy will be yours. Just press near the door and wait for it to be planted, hold off any enemies that come to disarm it. Once the 40 seconds have past, the trophy will be yours. Planting an HE charge takes 7 seconds. Thanks PowerPyx for making the video!
