How to place mines for maximum impact
- Select a mine based on your goal—Explosive for kills, Jolt for interruption.
- Hide mines behind cover, in grass, behind corners, or near loot where enemies don’t expect them.
- When the mine pops as someone steps into its radius, follow up with pressure, damage, or repositioning.
How to counter enemy traps
- Approach doorways and corridors cautiously—look for tripwire glints or odd placement of objects.
- Trigger traps from a distance with shots or gadgets.
- Use alternate routes if you suspect an area is trapped.
- Equip a trap-defusing skill to safely clear mines before advancing.
