Satchel Charges?

[Oh Good Gwief]

The wiki says the infiltrator will have satchel charges. What will this do? Are they timed explosives? Are they only for destroying larger objects like tanks and turrets and doors, etc?

It means a remote detonated 'Boomer' or c4.

If you watch some of the video streams from E3 you can see it in use.

That's exactly why I was confused. I saw the Light Assault has C4, and the infiltrator has Satchel Charges. I thought there would be differences between them.

Power and style, plus maybe one is timed and the other is detonator.

From the names it sounds like Satchel charges are much larger than the C4.

I think the question is down to whether or not satchel charges are remote detonated or timed detonation.

If I would place a bet... I would bet that satchel chargers are on a timer and the C4 is remote detonation.

which wouldnt be too bad, tho would make it a lot more of a risk to get in, bomb tanks, and get out for infiltrators, but i like having that option.
