Do you have to be in the vicinity for them to go off or can you dump and run? ---

I’ve heard yes and no, just want a final answer! ---

Yes. They will work as road mines ---

Yes dump and run. If you put them on a wall or vertical surface they are a proximity mine. If you lay them on the ground, they are normal mines. I love them and use them all the time. ---

Yeah, i saw a video on them and the guy says something about range and I wasn’t sure becUse I’m always around when they go off. They’re the best gadget I’ve ever used, love taking boats out with them on Parcel Storm. ---

Theyre awesome. I think he may have been talking about the range of the proximity mine when you plant them on a vertical surface. ---

Yeah, I watched it again, it’s just the way he says it makes it sound like that _you_ need to be near it. ---

yes dump and run. They will also stay dumped if you die, and respawn. I believe you can even switch classes and still have them down, but don’t quote me on that. ---

Makes sense they would still be down after you switch classes, that’s what the AT mines do anyway ---

If you lay a new set of mines after dying it’ll remove your original mines. I guess they don’t want me to respawn and put 40 mines in one area. 😉 Hide your slams on vertical surfaces close to the road! Most drivers will look at the road but not the road sign or burned out vehicle. …for fun I always love to mine up a spawn vehicle and then hang out and wait. A “free” vehicle is almost always too juicy to pass up. The resulting explosion brings much happiness.
