Plasma mines are [[leader]] abilities that can be used by [[Atriox]] and "[[Colony]]" in ''[[Halo Wars 2]]''. [[Let 'Volir]] has a similar ability referred to as a scout mine, but appears identical to the plasma mines.

In ''Halo Wars 2'', Plasma Mines is a [[leader]] power exclusive to [[Atriox]]. When activated, three mines are deployed to the targeted location in a linear pattern; rotating the camera allows the player to rotate the pattern’s orientation. A second leader power, Counter Measures, automatically deploys plasma mines around newly-captured [[Power Node]]s. Each mine is cloaked shortly after being deployed, and will detonate when enemy ground units enter its proximity. The explosion damages nearby enemy units, then creates a pool of boiling plasma in the area (lasting approximately 40 seconds); enemy ground units in the pool continue take damage over time. In the campaign level ''[[Under The Dark]]'', the plasma mines do not leave behind a pool of plasma.


===Scout mine===
In [[Blitz]], Plasma Mines are replaced by [[Scorch mine|Scorch Mines]], which leaves behind a pool of burning plasma for a much shorter duration.  
'''Scout mines''' are a variant of plasma mine employed by [[Let 'Volir]]. They are almost identical to regular plasma mines, but are [[Active camouflage|cloaked]] and thus cannot be seen by regular units.
**'''Scout Mine I''': Drops a cloaked Plasma mine. Mine provides vision within a small area and explodes on contact.
***Population Cost: N/A

**'''Scout Mine II''': Increases mine damage and vision range.
***Population Cost: N/A
