The shrapnel mine, nicknamed trip mine,[1] is a spike landmine explosive employed by the Banished.[2] When deployed, the shrapnel mine is cloaked, and detonates when enemies are detected nearby. They are typically carried by Jiralhanae leading an Unggoy squad,[3] and occasionally Jiralhanae Jumpers.[1] Given its name and appearance, the shrapnel mine likely shares properties with the explosive rounds fired from the shrapnel cannon, which is a variant of the spike cannon employed by the Banished.[4]
