Mines are bought at the Armory for 5 personal res once Mines has been researched (10 team res, 20 s at an Armory). They take weapon slot 4. Place one with Mouse1 on any floor or wall.
How mines work#
- A placed mine becomes active 4 s after it is placed, then explodes when an enemy comes within 1.5 m. Nearby mines go off in a chain shortly after.
- The blast does 130 normal damage to everything within 5 m, falling off with distance. At the centre that kills a fresh Skulk outright.
- Mines have 30 health and 9 armor; aliens can shoot them (spit, spikes) or set them off from a safe distance with Bile Bomb.
- A mine cannot be placed within 0.65 m of the centre of a friendly Phase Gate, so arriving marines never phase onto their own mines.
Where to put them#
- Next to power nodes and phase gates in rooms you are leaving.
- On walls or ceilings around corners skulks use, not in the middle of the floor where they are easy to spot.
- In front of extractors that skulks keep biting.
