Tactical Information

• Mines will detonate after being stepped on by any enemy, Helldiver, vehicle, or citizen. In addition, mines will detonate if they land on an allied sentry during deployment.
• As an anti-personnel minefield, the MD-6 is most useful against crowds of small to medium enemies. It can effectively keep enemies at bay until there are no more mines in their path.
• This stratagem has a tendency to kill friendly Helldivers, especially in thick fighting where their presence can easily be forgotten. Communicate with your team when deploying a minefield to warn them of its position.

General Minefield Tips

• The deploying mechanism is vulnerable to damage after emerging from the hellpod. If it is destroyed prematurely, any mines in reserve will be destroyed with it and deal no damage.
• Strategic placement is key to make the most out of each minefield. Place them wherever enemies are expected to travel through, such as in the path of an enemy reinforcement, or use it to cover your flank in a retreat.
• They will explode immediately upon taking damage. Many Eagle and Orbital stratagems will destroy mines if deployed in their vicinity, which can be wasteful.
• Depending on the terrain, it is possible for mines to plant in very close proximity to one another. If one mine explodes, it will detonate its neighbors, which can start a chain reaction destroying a large amount of mines.
