This landmine is a stationary explosive mine employed by the United Nations Space Command.[1]

Design details[edit]

Gameplay[edit]

"What’s a landmine? Should be obvious, right? A small, metal platter with a flashing red bulb perched on top like a violent, blood-soaked maraschino cherry on a death-dealing sundae. You’d have to be some kind of moran not to instantly know you need to steer clear."
— Urk.[1]

Halo: Reach[edit]

In Halo: Reach, these landmines may be placed in Forge mode, under the "Gadget" section. They serve as an integral part of the Race gametype.[1] It functions similarly to the Trip Mine equipment from Halo 3. The landmine is able to kill a fully shielded player, unlike the Trip Mine, which only takes out a player's shields.

Unlike the Trip Mine, the landmine is not activated solely by motion. Thus, trying to crouch walk slowly over a landmine will detonate it. Landmines can be activated by proximity. If you drive close enough to one, it will explode after a short delay. This can be used to stop any player following close behind you. Oddly enough, however, Evading over a trip mine will not detonate it, and the mine may even be thrown into the air from the impact.

Halo 4[edit]

The Landmine returns in Halo 4 with no changes whatsoever.

Halo 2: Anniversary[edit]

The Landmine returns in Halo 2: Anniversary multiplayer with no changes whatsoever.
