How do mines work?
Just a few questions regarding how mines work

1. Do mines disappear when you log off?

2. If mines don't disappear when you log off and then someone stepped on it and died, would you get fame off of it even though you're not online?

3. How do you disarm enemy mines? I'm just getting the warning beep and sign but I can't really see the mine. Is there no way to see enemy mines?

4. Lastly, can you step on your own placed mine? Will it or will it not blow you up?

2. Nope. At least not yet.

3. As far as i know you can simply disarm them as if they where your own. Minigame for disarming is still in the works. Off course first you need to find them. Could be behind a wall or buried. You can see buried mines but they are harder to see.

4. If this is fixed for good your own mines should weither explode for your nor for squad members.

My improvised mine only lasted about a week without me being present to reset the timer...sadly, so did my back up crate buried in th3 area nearby(about 100yds away).

I'm new to this feature so I need help, after placing and arming a mine I can only "examine" it , the "disarm" is greyed out. Why is that?

You need a pair of pliers to disarm mines, including your own.
