Best characters for Plastic Explosive

Characters that pick up Plastic Explosive in our curated build pool — with notes on why the combo works where we have them.

Bull

3 builds

Plastic Explosive increases explosion size, letting Bull’s passive hit more enemies each time he takes damage and making grouped packs disappear instantly.

Chunky

2 builds

Plastic Explosive increases explosion radius so Chunky’s explosive items and effects clear larger packs. This is especially strong when you’re constantly picking fruits and body-blocking enemies in Danger 5.

Renegade

2 builds

Plastic Explosive enlarges your explosion radius, which is especially strong with Shredder and Rocket Launcher where more enemies get caught in each blast multiplied by your extra projectiles.

Vagabond

2 builds

Plastic Explosive enlarges all your explosions, making Fireball, Nuclear Launcher, Plasma Sledge and Plank cover huge areas. Larger AoE synergizes with burn spreading and helps compensate for limited weapon duplicates.
