The '''Dynamite pack''', also known as the '''TNT Pack''', or, due to its similarity in function to the [[Team Fortress Classic]] weapon, the '''MIRV Grenade''', is a scrapped weapon prominently wielded by the [[Demoman]] in both [[Trailer 1]] and [[Trailer 2]]. Based on allocation in [[Team Fortress Classic]], it may once have also been intended as a [[Heavy]] weapon. The Dynamite pack itself consists of several TNT sticks strapped together which are swung from an attached cord by the Demoman, allowing him to physically throw it ahead of him. After the first and largest detonation, the strap breaks and the individual sticks of dynamite are scattered across the vicinity upon which they too explode with a slightly smaller individual blast radius. The Dynamite pack was eventually replaced in function by the [[Sticky bomb]] launcher.

Now that is just dynamite!
The Engineer

The Dynamite Pack, also known as the MIRV Grenade, is a scrapped grenade for the Demoman. It consists of several sticks of dynamite strapped together and swung from an attached cord by the Demoman, allowing him to physically throw it ahead of him. The grenade weapon version has five sticks and is connected to a numeric keypad. The secondary version has three sticks all held together by a leather strap.

After the first and largest detonation, the strap breaks and the individual sticks of dynamite are scattered across the vicinity of the initial blast, after which they too explode with a slightly smaller individual blast radius. The Dynamite Pack was eventually scrapped when throwable hand grenades were removed from the game.

The Dynamite Pack is prominently wielded by the Demoman in both Trailer 1 and Trailer 2. It was originally intended to be a grenade, but got removed from the game after grenades were scrapped. The weapon would have functioned like its Team Fortress Classic counterpart.

  • Valve's artwork for the Golden Charity features the Demoman about to blow up the Golden Wrench using a stick of dynamite.
  • The Dynamite Pack can be seen in Meet the Demoman on the lower right-hand corner of the screen when he is being interviewed.
  • The Demoman uses a bundle of dynamite that resembles the grenade version of this weapon to blow up the train in End of the Line.
