The AT Mine is a placed mine for stopping vehicles. It ignores people and is set off by a vehicle that drives over it. Its 300 HP centre blast ties with the Improvised Explosive Device for the largest of the placed explosives.

Overview

The AT Mine is sold as a Lethal, Quick Slot item. It is placed, not thrown. It is triggered only by vehicles. Friendly vehicles set it off as well, so it can be a risk to a player’s own team.

For the mine that goes off on people, see Claymore.

How it works

Placing. The mine is placed on the ground up to 4 m from the player, and the player moves at 40% speed while placing it. It cannot be placed in a safe zone (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie or the hostile safe zone).

Arming. The mine is armed 1 s after it is placed.

Trigger. The mine has a trigger box under it. It checks for vehicles every 0.1 s. A vehicle sets it off only when it is moving faster than 0.1 km/h. Players and infantry do not set it off.

Friendly vehicles. A vehicle on the player’s own side sets the mine off too.

Being shot. Any damage sets the mine off except a thrown impact, so shooting an AT Mine detonates it.

Detonation. The mine goes off once it has taken 50 damage. That is the default for placed explosives, and neither the Claymore nor the AT mine overrides it (static reading). Once it has gone off it is removed. Whether the 50 counts each hit or the running total was not checked in play.

Friendly fire. The damage tables reduce friendly fire only for infantry bullets (-50 %) and large hammers (-70 %). Explosives and fire have no friendly-fire reduction in the tables. Any limit on hitting teammates with this item would have to come from the item itself or from native code, which the data does not show.

Damage

To players

The mine does not trigger on players, but its blast does harm people near it when it goes off. The blast does its full 300 HP from the centre out to 3.8 m. Beyond 3.8 m the damage falls in a straight line to zero at 7.5 m. Examples from the data:

  • At 2.5 m: 300 HP
  • At 5 m: 250 HP
  • At 7.5 m and beyond: nothing

Armor reduces this damage by body part. See Body Armor.

To vehicles

The data gives the number of centre hits a vehicle needs to lose its main health. This assumes one blast hitting the main section. Treat these as a guide, because blasts near several parts can count more than once.

Vehicle Main health Centre hits to destroy
MH-6 400 HP 1
Humvee 500 HP 1
T-72B3 750 HP 2
M113 APC SV 1000 HP 2

Against armour the AT mine is strong. Its table entry is +200 % on most vehicles (the Humvee, Kodiak, Dune Buggy, Bobcat, Havoc and Wolf-110), +145 % on the tanks and +250 % on the Ural. Each figure is the table’s amount for the mine’s source. The same vehicle row has other explosive and hit-location entries that also apply, so the total is not that figure alone.

See Vehicle damage for how vehicles take damage in general.

Season 2 changes

The Season 2 items data lists no change to the AT Mine, and no change to its price.
