{{Disambig header|the Forge object introduced in ''Halo: Reach''|other types of landmines|Mine}}
This '''landmine''' is a stationary explosive mine employed by the [[United Nations Space Command]].{{Ref/Reuse|BNet}}


==Design details==
<center>''Were you also looking for the [[Brute Land Mine]] or the [[TR/9 Antipersonnel Mine|Trip Mine]] from [[Halo 3]]?''</center>
The landmine is a large circular explosive planted on the ground. It has a circular blinking red light in its center.


==Gameplay==
A '''Landmine''' is a stationary explosive that appears in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. Landmines may be placed in [[Forge Mode]], and they appear in matchmaking when the Race gametype is voted for.<ref>http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_081310</ref> It functions similar to that of the [[trip mine]], a usable equipment in ''[[Halo 3]]''. The flashing red light like the trip mine is very noticeable but can catch unwary drivers off guard. Many "Forgers" often turn Landmines upside down and through the ground using the "Phased" setting, making an almost invisible and effective trap. Unless custom settings are used, all vehicles will be destroyed if they are within the blast radius of the mine.
{{Quote|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.{{Ref/Reuse|BNet}}}}
===''Halo: Reach''===
In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', these landmines may be placed in [[Forge/Halo: Reach|Forge]] mode, under the "Gadget" section. They serve as an integral part of the [[Race]] gametype.{{Ref/Site|Id=BNet|URL=http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_081310|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Bungie Weekly Update: 08.13.10|D=07|M=6|Y=2012}} It functions similarly to the [[TR/9 Antipersonnel Mine|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, [[Evade|Evading]] over a trip mine will not detonate it, and the mine may even be thrown into the air from the impact.
==Trivia==
 
*Landmines can be activated by proximity. If you drive or walk close enough to one, they will explode after a short delay. This can be used to stop any player following close behind you.
===''Halo 4''===
*Landmines can be placed in midair via the "Fixed" feature. This can be useful in making a base resistant to aerial attacks.
The Landmine returns in ''[[Halo 4]]'' with no changes whatsoever.
*The Landmine is the most sensitive explosive in ''Halo: Reach''. Even a slow-rolling [[Frag Grenade]] will detonate it.
 
*In the Race gametype, Landmines will often have barely visible waypoints above them alerting you of their presence.
===''Halo 2: Anniversary''===
*You cannot stack Landmines - contact with any other object causes instant detonation.
The Landmine returns in ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'' [[multiplayer]] with no changes whatsoever. The game introduces an EMP variant of the landmine, which has a blue light in its center; its explosion does not damage players, but emits an EMP pulse that disables nearby vehicles and trigger the standard landmine.
