The Pyro Mine is a Heavy class mounted gadget which, when it comes into contact with an opponent or when it is destroyed, creates a fiery explosion that ignites the area.

Usage

The Pyro Mine can be selected as one of three gadgets of any 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 Pyro 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 Pyro Mine, or if it is destroyed such as by bullets or by a nearby explosion, it explodes, dealing damage to nearby opponents (and to the user if they are too close) initially, and also spreading fire to all surfaces in a spherical area, even through walls.

Any contestants that come into contact with the fire take contact damage over time and will also be set on fire for a few seconds to take additional damage.

If an opponent destroys the gadget, they become the user instead, meaning any damage it deals is attributed to them.

Properties

Gadget

Tossed — Can be thrown out a short distance, after which it attaches to the first surface it hits.

Multiple Charges — Can be used 2 times. When a charge is used, it automatically recharges over the cooldown time.

Retrievable — Can be picked up after being deployed to restore a charge.

Deployment Limit — 2 Pyro Mines can be deployed at a time. An excess deployment causes the oldest Pyro Mine to disappear.

Projectile

Projectile — Gets affected by gravity and has a travel time. Once attached, the gadget is no longer a projectile.

Interceptible — While not attached, can be removed by the APS Turret, nullifying its effects. This causes the turret to lose some health.

No Trigger on Impact — Does not trigger when thrown at a contestant, instead flies through them.

Mine

Attached — Attaches to a surface upon deployment. Sticks to the surface even if it moves. Weighs down any carriable object it is attached to.

Solid — Has its own collision, albeit of a very small size, that can be stood upon.

Arming Time — Disarmed when initially deployed or while picked up as an attachment. Does not detect enemies while disarmed. Arms automatically after a wind-up time.

Destructible — Can be destroyed if its health is fully depleted, such as through hits from bullets or explosions. This causes the Pyro Mine to explode. Teammates can also destroy it.

Glitchable — Can be temporarily disabled by a Glitch Grenade or Glitch Barrel.

Reshapeable — Can be reshaped by the Data Reshaper into a piece of decor by opponents.

Sound Cue — Produces a constant beeping noise while it is armed, alerting nearby contestants of its presence.

Permanent — Does not disappear by itself.

Explosion

Incendiary — Creates fire, which can spread to nearby goo and foliage and burn them down. It can also light up contestants.

Explosive — Deals damage in an area of effect that can be intercepted by structures and shields.

Damaging — Deals damage to contestants.

Friendly Fire — Can damage both the user and their teammates.

No Structure Damage — Cannot be used to damage structures, though the resulting fire can spread and burn objects.

Guide

Strengths

• The Pyro Mine can be planted on or around a Cashout Station to defend it. If detonated while placed on a Cashout Station, it can prevent steals for a long time due to the fact that the fire will stick to the Cashout Station, even if said Station is moved through Cashout Manipulation.
• Can be manually detonated by shooting at it to do damage to enemies next to the Pyro Mine to do additional damage.

Weaknesses

• The Pyro Mine can be disabled by a nearby Glitch Grenade or Glitch Barrel triggering, or reshaped by the Data Reshaper.
• If a smoke cloud is placed near the Pyro Mine at the time of its activation, it will only deal detonation damage, and the fire it generates is immediately extinguished.

Tactics

• The Pyro Mine can be combined with the Flamethrower, where a mine is first thrown out into one or multiple opponents, and the Flamethrower near-instantly causes it to explode near them. This deals the initial damage of the Pyro Mine and sets the area on fire, dealing contact damage. It is a much safer combination for the user than trying to do the same thing with an Explosive Mine, as the user does not need to take any damage this way.
• The Pyro Mine can be combined with a C4 on the cashout to prevent opponents from stealing it. Even if enemies were careful to not trigger the Pyro Mine, the Pyro Mine can still be manually detonated with a chain reaction from the C4 detonating, dealing massive damage and preventing stealing for a long time as the fire from the Pyro Mine sticks to the Cashout Station, even if moved with Cashout manipulation.
  • The concept of chain reactions can be paired with other explosives, such as but not limited to the RPG-7, MGL32, or Oil Barrels to do massive amounts of burst damage and additional afterburn.
• Because fire burns on both sides of a surface it is attached to, manually detonating a Pyro Mine placed on a ceiling means can burn enemies on the floor above. This can be used to stall enemies stealing a Cashout on the floor above.

Item Mastery

Item mastery XP can be earned by damaging opponents with the Pyro Mine.

Each time a certain XP threshold is reached, the item levels up. This does not improve the item, but rewards a unique item customization.
