Landmine

Were you also looking for the Brute Land Mine or the Trip Mine from Halo 3?

A Landmine is a stationary explosive that appears in Halo: Reach. Landmines may be placed in Forge Mode, and they’re an integral and multifaceted part of the overall experience of Race. It functions similar to that of the trip mine, a usable equipment in Halo 3's Forge Mode and other Multiplayer experiences. The flashing red light, like the trip mine is very noticeable but can catch unwary drivers off guard. when making your own forge map. turning these Landmines upside down and phasing them into the ground slightly (so that the top sticks out enough for it to register something driving over it) can make it a very effective trap. All vehicles will die upon driving over one.

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.
 * Landmines will typically appear in the Race gametype on most maps.
 * Landmines can be placed in midair via the "fixed" feature. This can be useful in making a base resistant to aerial attacks.
 * 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 almost transparent markers above them alerting you of their presence.
