Explosives Directive Help
Oneday i hope to unlock the C-4 ARX for my very own (and make my suicide flashes explode in a glorious supernova :P) but there are two particular objectives that i may find to be the most challenging compared to all the others in the Explosives Directive. C-4, AP Mine, Multi Kill and Vehicle Destruction i can do fine, but i may find both Frag Grenades and Tank Mines to be the most difficult for me.

Would you recommend for either Frag Grenades or Tank Mines in unlocking the C-4 ARX in the explosives directive?

you can always leave AT mines at vehicle pads and hope someone drives over them when spawning a vehicle. slow, but at least its a quick and passive action to perform. you could also sneak up on stuff when possible, slap some mines down and shoot them to blow up whatever was next to them (like a camping tank, for instance). the aggressive apporach is of course a surer way but also a lot riskier.

i think AT mines are also triggered by MAXes, so maybe leaveing a few at indoor fights or dropping them from above at infantry and shooting them.

frag grenades, i cant think of anything other than trowing them into crowded fights.

as a disclaimer, i am nowhere near any directive level stats in these things. just throwing ideas out.

For the tank mines what I've been doing is 2 things, first is sundy hunting with a Lighting, I grab an engi with Mine Carrier and sticky grenades, if it's a shield sundy I rush it, shoot it until the shield goes down then I drop 1 mine -> sticky grenade on the mine and then 2 other mines before the grenade blows up, that's usually enough to kill any sundy.

The other thing I do is whenever a base is about to fall I and is being spawncamped is wait until there are 30-20 secs left on the timer, switch to engi, crouch next to the door where I expect people to rush, in and then drop a mine as they rush the spawn, I usually get 1-2 kills that way, although some spawns aren't that accessible to attackers and it's hard to pull it off before the pain field kills you.

Hide a sundy at a TR tech plant, and put mines in front of the vehicle pad and simply wait. Since TR cant do anything without 10 prowlers you will be getting kill after kill. Simply resupply at your sundy.

I'd ignore frag grenades and focus exclusively on the tank mines. It's easier to get kills with the mines, and they'll usually be multi-kills at that.

I have C4 ARX and still haven't quite auraxiumed frag grenades yet.

To be most efficient, make sure you have your belt of AT mines active at all times. The first thing you should do after logging in should be to set up AT mines near the front lines. Once those mines are triggered, put down another minefield. If the front lines move away from your minefield, place a new one.

Good luck!
