The Explosive Mine is a Medium or Heavy class mounted gadget which, when it comes into contact with an opponent or when it is destroyed, creates an explosion that deals high damage.
Usage
The Explosive Mine can be selected as one of three gadgets of any Medium or Heavy build load-out.
The primary trigger can be used to toss the gadget a small distance. It will attach to the first surface it contacts and arm itself after a few moments(2.0 seconds after primary mouse click).
The gadget can also be retrieved to restore a charge, by interacting with it for a few moments while looking at it from up close.

Stats
Effects
The Explosive Mine can be deployed with a small throw to attach it to a nearby surface. The gadget will arm itself after a few moments. If an opponent gets too close to the Explosive Mine, or if it is destroyed such as by bullets or by a nearby explosion, it explodes, dealing high damage to nearby opponents and damaging structures. It also damages the user if they are too close.
If an opponent destroys the gadget, they become the user instead, meaning any damage it deals is attributed to them.

Guide
Strengths
- The Explosive Mine can be planted on or around a Cashout Station to defend it.
Weaknesses
- The Explosive Mine can be disabled by a nearby Glitch Grenade or Glitch Barrel triggering, or reshaped by the Data Reshaper.
Tactics
- The Explosive Mine can be combined with a Gas Mine at a difficult-to-spot location, such as right behind an important door, to instantly eliminate a Light contestant. With this setup, two traps can be placed at once.
- The Explosive Mine can act as an improvised Breach Charge, although a concrete wall will require multiple mines to breach.
- The Explosive Mine can be combined with the CL-40, as the CL-40 is able to instantly trigger the mine after throwing it, such as when being chased by an opponent.
- Other weapons cannot perform this tactic reliably, as they require multiple hits or can easily miss. An exception is the Flamethrower, but this will often deal heavy damage to the user as the mine will be too close.
Item Mastery
Item mastery XP can be earned by damaging opponents with the Explosive Mine and dealing environmental damage
Each time a certain XP threshold is reached, the item levels up. This does not improve the item, but rewards a unique item customization.
