The Magna-Pack Explosive is a powerful portable explosive. It is very similar to the Magna-Blast Grenade in terms of its functionality but offers double the stopping power and a very large blast radius.
While not the most powerful explosive available, it is still the single most destructive high-explosive weapon that can be purchased initially.
Having a large blast radius means that much more care needs to be taken when handling the explosives. It is ideal for demolition of large areas of difficult terrain, small buildings or even mobs of enemies.
Since the Magna-Pack Explosive is twice as heavy as other grenades, its maximum throwing distance is halved. It is recommended that Magna-Pack Explosive handlers have Strength levels of at least 40 or more to give them sufficient throwing range.
If weaker Aquanauts need to use the Magna-Pack Explosives, they will have to apply a variety of strategies in order to space themselves from it before the end of the turn.
This weapon appears in Terror from the Deep. For the UFO: Enemy Unknown equivalent, refer to the High Explosive.

Notes
- Due to an experience assignment glitch, planting high explosives by way of arming them an dropping them on the ground is only recommended for clearing terrain. When attacking enemies, it should be thrown, or else the experience earned from the attack will not be earned by the person that set the charge.
