The Smallest Nit I've Ever Picked(Rainbow six Siege)

So this is(so far in my life) the smallest thing in a game to really bug me. In rainbow six siege Smoke's nitro cell is detonated via a cell phone. Why? Smoke's a member of the SAS working(I assumed, I'm still kinda sketchy on the overarching story) with/for rainbow six. He should be equipped with a military grade detonator. In fact he is, his toxic gas grenades use a military style detonator. so why use a cell phone for the nitro cell? It would make sense if they had playable terrorist in the game but these are members of a fully funded government back military organization. they should have access to real detonators all the time.

and to get it out of the way

1. Yes this really bothers me.

2. Yes it's a small point to bring up, and does not stop me from playing the game.

3. I know more operatives then just smoke carry the nitro cell but he was the first one i unlocked so I'm focusing on him.

4. No I don't have anything better to do that complain online about what is so far the game I've been spending the most time playing.

From what I recall they aren't a fully funded government backed group. Their existence is supposed to be highly secret so only a few people in the government actually know they exist.

But still detonators do seem like something that should be within their budget.

@toast_burner: THANK YOU! that really takes me out of the immersion.

Also I didn't know the whole existence is secret thing. I should have probably added that the only other rainbow six game I've ever played was vegas 2. And I only play to the third mission.

Probably just something the devs added for flavor without thinking about it.
