The time bomb is an explosive weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.
Background[]
Strictly speaking, dynamite is nitroglycerin-soaked charcoal, pressed into sticks. A dynamite package is a collection of a few sticks, taped together, and wired in parallel to a simple timer. This timer can be set for as little as ten seconds of delay, or up to a few minutes. Dynamite is especially helpful for clearing cave-ins, and can blow most doors apart.
Characteristics[]
The time bomb is an improvised explosive weapon. Unlike a proximity mine, once activated it cannot be disarmed and will automatically detonate after 15 seconds. It is a placed explosive, and cannot be used in V.A.T.S.
Gun Runners' Arsenal buffs the explosion's damage to 300, from 150.

Notes[]
- Despite containing five sticks of dynamite, the time bomb deals only as much damage as two sticks.
- Reverse-pickpocketing a live time bomb will cause it to detonate much faster than normal.
- Despite being functional, the sticks of dynamite are labeled "Inert".
Bugs[]
- Gun Runners' Arsenal fixes this problem.
When exploded with a gunshot instead of the timer, the explosion only deals 75 damage.
