proximity mine from concealment....

[Darth_Butters]

I just learned tonight that tossing a prox mine from concealment doesn't break concealment.

Ambushes just got a lot more fun.

It even says that on the item description. I abused the hell out of it when I got it. Particularly as if the pod patrols it triggers them on their turn not mine, so I get a free second turn to mop up stragglers, in addition to the shredded armour, and damage.

Ha! I guess I should be aure to read all the descriptions better. Still made for a fun surprise...

Step 1: Bring 2 grenadiers with salvo and equip proximity mine
Step 2: Try to spot two pods ( or more if you like ) place them all in your desire, put everyone on overwatch and end the turn.
Step 3: Fireworks

I kill 13-15 aliens in one turn in those timer missions that way.

It also fails to deal damage to the most of the pod it activates.

I had some fun with proxies, when my stealth ranger got 'Salvo' from AWC.

Proximity mine seems to be buggy in my gamepaly tho
I've once placed a proximity mine with a grenadier (w/ volatile mix) and it failed to damage all enemies caught in its blast radius

Best trick is throw a prox mine down by a pod and psi attack and get a panic the advent trooper runs gets blown up by prox mine then your overwatch hit the rest lol's follow

That only happens when it explodes during concealment( thus breaking it). Otherwise it damages everyone in the radius.
The way i see it it's probably better that way( be it intentional or not).
