Detonator (Fallout: New Vegas)

The detonator is a weapon

Gameplay
The detonator is specifically used to detonate C-4 after it is planted. During Eureka!, it may also be used to detonate a generator at the Hoover Dam checkpoint after hacking a Very Hard terminal. The tool itself has no other use, and is unable to harm enemies by itself.

This weapon qualifies as an improved holdout weapon.
