Mines

[GOD mode]

How can i detect enemy mines ? i just step on them all the time.

Hold right mouse button down and look around the area you suspect a mine to be. If your awareness skill is high enough, you may be rewarded with a suddenly highlighted blue mine that is revealed.

Disarming is another matter tho. =)

Check for small dirt mounds when invading a certain area, you can't detect enemy traps through awareness anymore, just by looking if there are mounds or mines in the open.

very sad fact. so every player depends on personal vision (as human) and qality of monitor it has. Vary sad. It's game, and shoul be available despite the fact of personal conditions and hardware

Keep wire cutters on you. If you're in an area where you suspect mines, equip the cutters and (very) slowly crouch walk. You should activate the defuse mini-Game when you approach the IED/mine. According to bunny in another thread, even proximity triggers can be detected this way.

Also, simply make sure you have enough FP so you can respawn and retrieve your gear if you get blown up.

Mines/IED's could be anywhere and that adds extreme pucker factor when operating. Seeing enemy IED's with awareness is too easy imo. I'm glad they removed it.

I just respawned out in the middle of no where, I happened to look down at the ground, and there was a mine there. As if players are mining respawn points.

Im not bullshiting, this actually happened, it was slightly in front of me, like one in game foot.

just lame that players are doing this as well.

or use the ingame "mine detector"

When you pass a blueprint over a bomb it turns red. So scan an area you think might have a bomb with a chest blueprint.

Hopefully this will be fixed soon as i like to protect my base with bombs :D

We are indeed working on a mine detector item :)

or aggro lots of puppets and run around the area very fast while jumping and let the following puppets take out all the mines

May I ask why did you remove that option? Too easy to spot traps?
