How to Make the Sticky Bombs Blow Up in "Grand Theft Auto IV"
The new weapons available in "The Ballad Of Gay Tony," an expansion to the video game "Grand Theft Auto IV," include sticky bombs. While sticky bombs do not cling to people, they can be thrown and attached to any of the vehicles in the game. Because the blast radius of a sticky bomb is comparable to that of a grenade, it is an ideal weapon for taking out multiple enemy targets that are close to each other. The player also controls the detonation, making the sticky bomb a good weapon for traps.

Tips & Warnings
Once you throw a sticky bomb, you have about a minute and a half before it blows up on its own. Make sure you are out of the blast radius before that happens. Bumping into sticky bombs can also cause them to detonate, so beware of cars you have planted sticky bombs on ramming into your own vehicle.
