Lotus anti-tank mine

The Lotus Anti-Tank Mine is a UNSC explosive ordinance. Lotus anti-tank mines are used to defend an area by seeding the surrounding area with sensitive mines. Although most Covenant vehicles hover over them, they are activated by motion, not pressure, and so make extremely effective forms of suppression for all infantry and vehicles. It is powerful enough to tear through a Scorpion Tank in one blast. The mines can also be used against infantry, as seen in the Battle of Jericho VII

Note: This land mine is completely different from the one found in Halo 3.
