Victim_operated_IED [entity]

‹ Back Next ›
An improvised explosive device, the Bomb, is placed so as to be hidden from view or disguised as something not harmful. It is rigged to detonate when triggered by actions of an intended Victim. Possible triggering actions include stepping on a pressure-sensitive plate, activating a trip-wire, or moving an object which activates a spring-loaded device.

We hit a VOIED and the lead truck was destroyed.
