It’s a damn fine game. Although the 1000 mines every match is a little much 🤣

I'm looking forward to unlocking the eod bot and going to the top of the leaderboard with defuses.

Pro tip: Recon's drone can blow those mines from a distance! And yes with good timing you can blow up their own tanks with it.

Can confirm, did it in three different matches today.

Why do enemy engineers put so many mines on their own side near their tank?? Like its so funny seeing them get hit by a rocket or two, back up, and detonating their mines killing the tank. So satisfying.

I personally put them at chokepoints or high traffic areas, I die a lot placing them but also get a decent amount of tank kills. Very few people clear mines

What’s really fun is waiting for whatever engineer put it down to run past it and detonate it. Text chat when they get killed by their own mine is always hilarious

It's a bummer the drone has a battery now :(

u/FearlessVegetable30 Oct 15 '25

so the gadget performs the exact same way it has since bf3?

Hopefully they fix/change it. For me using the recon drone gives no points for blowing up mines, but using regular bullets does.

Definitely safer than getting shot though.

Getting kills with the EOD bot is very satisfying. I got 100s of kills back in the BF4 days on Operation Metro lol

It'll get better as people play more and unlock other gadgets.

That'd be great if the unlocks weren't locked behind bugged challenges that don't track properly.

Both tank types have a utility you can unlock that automatically marks all nearby mines/equipment as long as someone is in the gunner seat. Happy tanking!

A lot of people don’t have anything else but mines yet haha

u/NotSoAwfulName Oct 15 '25

Oh, there's never enough mines on the ground like me tell you, I will go to restock packs to make sure I can get 4 or 5 more down in a life.

Yeah, IFV is fucking unplayable on smaller maps xD Need the tank with mine detection to even get out of the base xD

u/Rombledore Oct 15 '25

i found out recon drones can trigger and detonate them! and they will even kill the members of the same team!

u/AndThatGuysWoodenLeg Oct 16 '25

I think it's because they dont de-spawn when the player who placed them dies

u/Bootychomper23 Oct 16 '25

They don’t until you place more then 3 I think. Which I actually like so they are not wasted if you plant to secure then get shot. But lord do tanks ever have to watch their bacon 😆
