The Crafted Trigger is a small homemade electronic part that lets a bomb go off by remote control. It is an Electronics item built from a radio receiver and scrap parts.

It is for survivors who use explosives and noise makers to handle zombie crowds. A remote trigger lets a bomb sit in place and go off at the right moment, far from the person holding the controller. Making it needs Electrical level 2 and a known recipe.

It is crafted from parts and also found in electronics stores and survivor safehouses. It weighs very little. The Electrician is the best occupation for electronics. It starts with the most Electrical skill. The Engineer also starts with some Electrical skill.

Using

The trigger is made with the Make Remote Trigger recipe. It takes a Receiver, Radio Receiver or Cordless Phone, two Scrap Electronics and two Glue. A screwdriver and pliers are needed and both are kept. The recipe asks for Electrical level 2 and must be learned first.

The trigger is then fitted to a bomb with the Add Remote Trigger to Bomb recipe. That recipe takes one trigger, two Scrap Electronics and one Duct Tape, plus the bomb itself. It also needs Electrical level 2. It works on five devices:

an Aerosol Bomb becomes a Remote Aerosol Bomb
a Fire Bomb becomes a Remote Fire Bomb
a Noise Maker becomes a Remote Noise Generator
a Pipe Bomb becomes a Remote Pipe Bomb
a Smoke Bomb becomes a Remote Smoke Bomb

A remote noise generator is a safe way to draw a horde to one spot. A remote fire bomb or pipe bomb can then hit the crowd once it gathers.

The "Research Craft" option on the trigger teaches the Make Remote Trigger recipe.

Locations

Electronics stores are the best place, with one on metal shelves about one time in ten. Survivor safehouses hold them in cardboard boxes, crates, small boxes and on metal shelves at similar odds. Garages, closets, attics and storage units turn one up only rarely. Crafting is the reliable way to get more.
