Use your snipers to spot them and take them out first, especially the three plasma mines near the second mini base and another three near the barrier to the Banished's base guarding Third Kodiak spot. If other units take them out, even if it was an accident, it will be impossible to earn 50 plasma mine kill by Snipers. | ||
