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.

Three plasma mines from Halo Wars 2.
An Unggoy squad and a Sangheili approach three plasma mines on Installation 00.

The plasma mine is a type of landmine employed by the Banished. When called in, four mines are deployed from orbit to the ground. When deployed, the scorch mine is cloaked, and detonates when enemies are detected nearby. Upon detonation, the mine releases boiling plasma in the surrounding area.[1]

In Halo Wars 2, Plasma Mines is a leader power available exclusively to Atriox. It has a cooldown timer of 105 seconds. 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.

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.

Plasma Mines are replaced by Scorch mines in Blitz.
