Hello Developers,
I’m planning on a gamepass, a Bomb Disposal Unit gamepass to improve on my game’s role play system.
I’m wonder whether this system is against the rules of Roblox.
Please advise me on what to do!
Thanks!

I mean, Roblox made a C4 gear a long time ago. They also made a time bomb tool as well. But take my post with a grain of salt.
I am not a mod so this is just speculation.
I think context matters here. A game that takes place in a warzone could probably have planted bombs without much issue. But a school? Street or bus with pedestrians? I don’t think it would be acceptable in those settings.
As @ernakou mentioned, if you plant them in areas that are going to be sensitive to most people like a school, or hospital, or sites where players would take offence to the situation.
I’m pretty sure that places that have no defining landmarks would be okay, like a bus or street would be ok. Planting a bomb at the New York World Trade Center would probably not be accepted very well (it was attempted in 1993, before the 2001 9/11 attacks) or any other site that has had a similar attack in history.
Like everyone else is saying, context matters. Counter Blox exists without issue(roblox recreation of CS:GO), so don’t be scared from the idea of C4 planting and defusal. Just tread carefully with who’s portrayed as planting the C4
There is games where you plant bombs like CB:RO and Rushpoint which are totally fine. If you place the bombs in places that are considered offensive or inappropriate, I guess that might be a different story
man! My favorite activity, planting a bomb in roblox. All jokes aside, context does matter
i think this system would be perfectly fine as games like criminality or combat warriors have similar things… however, to use it in a roleplay game, it would be difficult as a typical roleplay game may have a school, like the replies above have said, which could be disturbing to some extent for some users, which, in my opinion, I’d restrain to do this. Unless of course your game doesn’t have a school or anything that could relate to any true event, then i believe you would be able to implement this
I plan to let criminals place bombs whenever they want. It is their choice since its meant for role-play. The bombs will reduce health of players, expectedly. Do you think it’s possible?
Like stated in the replies above, It matters on the context, if I were you I’d make sure these certain areas like schools and what not are either:
A: Removed from the game.
B: Have rules that define where explosive devices could be placed & where not to place.
C: Making it so that even if the player wants to break said rule the system itself wouldn’t allow the player to place said explosive in said area.
