I actually have a friend who loves the mines. I don't quite understand why. They never seem to kill anything except teammates. Maybe that's why he likes them...

One game the entire team kept being reinforced right back into the minefield.

Ahhh that's the best

Arg that's the worst

I dearly hope they add the AT mines from the first game back in. You could upgrade the normal mines to also damage/destroy bug tanks and the like and these just slayed if you were one or two divers short. Short cooldown, deployed in a wide line (not circular like it is now) and devastating - my favourite stratagem. Unexploded ordnance disposal? Just add more unexploded ordnance to the perimeter!

AT mines have already leaked, there are videos of them. They seem to be quite good on first impression.

For when you are violently protective of your personal space.

I haven't unlocked it yet but I was going to skip right to the incendiary one.

I figured they would be good for the defend escaping personnel missions. Area denial to keep the escaping non divers safe, or alight if the flaming creatures get too close.

Honestly, both are pretty bad. Better to invest in gattling and mortar turrets.

I unlocked it, I find it is good on the evacuate personnel missions. It locks down a single direction so the enemy is only coming from 3 directions.

One of the few gems I refuse to buy despite having 50k in requisition slips

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I bought everything just to have them all. But it's kind of a pain to have to scroll through all the trash to find what I want to equip.

Future game enhancement: filter a gem from the list.
