Tips
  • Mines are often placed in choke points, near objectives, or along patrol routes.
  • Listen carefully to the Mine Detector's audio cues, as they can indicate proximity and direction.
  • Some enemies may also lay mines, so be aware of your surroundings even in seemingly safe areas.
  • If you are having trouble disarming a mine, consider using a weapon with a wide spread to detonate it from a safe distance, though this will alert nearby enemies.
  • Certain items or skills may reduce the effectiveness of mines or make them easier to detect.
