So I am curious as to how an enemy can identify one of my mines/tripwires. I have seen many times a mine blow up with no casualty. I recently asked one opponent how he did not die. He told me he shot my landmine. I didn't get a chance to have him elaborate. How is this possible? Did he simply take a blind shot and get lucky? Or was he cheating?

Thanks

I know some places that often get boobytrapped by enemies, so I mind my step. Mines can easily be avoided by walking aside it. Well placed trip mines are less easy to avoid, because you need to shoot it to be able to proceed. Or you can search an alternative route.

Hi,

Both of these items are correct. You should be able to see enemy traps, but they won't shine as yours do. You can blow them up with either splash damage from another explosion (grenade/2nd mine) or by shooting them.

Walking and crouched walking allow you to pass over mines without detonating them. This means snipers who place traps behind them can still be flanked by a careful enemy.

Thanks,
Steve
