* ''VideoGame/DeepRockGalactic'' makes the Driller into the team's excavation and demolitions expert by virtue of giving him the C4 remote bomb as an equipment choice. He can toss this item on walls or floors (or the occasional low ceiling) or place it precisely in a desired location, allowing the Driller to quickly and effortlessly remove terrain, carve out his own bunkers, and generally turn the caves into his playground. Unfortunately for both the indigenous wildlife of Hoxxes and the other Dwarves, the Driller is also a BloodKnight [[MemeticPsychopath with a reputation for attracting particularly psycho players]], and it's not uncommon for Drillers to C4 themselves, their enemies, and their teammates either by accident or design.

* ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert2'' has the Crazy Ivan unit, a TimeBomb specialist who can put bombs on ''anything'' and destroy them with a single well timed blast. This includes your own forces, encouraging the creative use of {{Suicide|Attack}} [[ActionBomb Bombers]] among your tactics. Though a talented bombsmith, Ivan is every bit the MadBomber his CallSign implies him to be, and will gladly answer your summons by cackling madly into the microphone.
* ''VideoGame/{{Commandos}}'' has Thomas "Inferno" Hancock, the Sapper. Polite, cheerful, and rather enthusiastic about his work, his specialties include planting time bombs and wire bombs, as well as defusing enemy land mines and stealing them for his own use. He eventually equips a flamethrower and becomes the deadliest member of your squad by a wide margin.
