The Detonator is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.
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.
Variants
- Loyal's Detonator, given by Loyal to activate a buoyancy device during the quest Volare!.
Mining Detonator, used to collapse the cave during the quest River Monsters.
Broken Detonator, can be found in the Little Yangtze watchtower. It is considered a miscellaneous item.

One can be found in the Sierra Madre along with 3 bricks of C-4 Plastic Explosive. Enter the Villa Police Station via the west doorway. Turn north at Dog's cell to enter a short hallway & face west. Enter the first door on your right. In this room is an Average locked locker leaning in the north west corner of the room containing the Detonator and C-4.- Traveling merchants rarely sell one.
One can be bought from the Commissary Terminal inside the Hopeville Missile Silo Bunker.
Notes
- C-4 cannot be detonated remotely if one does not have a Detonator. However, one can shoot it when it's placed on the ground to detonate it as an alternative method.
