The Nobelisk Detonator activates any explosive you craft in the game. To use the item, equip the detonator in your hand and reload it to take out a Nobelisk. You can also switch between different types that are in your inventory.

When ready, throw the explosive as far as you want or stick it to a surface of your choice. Do note that you can use this process to arm several such devices at once. Then, once you are ready, detonate them using the right mouse click. This will set off every single armed device simultaneously so make sure you are standing at a distance to avoid unnecessary damage.
