What are the tactical reasons for making a landmine beep loudly and wait 3 seconds before exploding, as well as solely being highly visible with a bright light and above the ground rather than below?
So a funny big nose explorer man can use it to excavate gems which will later be converted into diamonds by a spooky ghost.
So you dont injure yourself and have other cues such as audio and lights in the video game you are playing which does not often include an enemies political awareness, environmental saviness and or the ability to understand the defensive deterrent features of a meatspace mine.
>>729425041It's the same principle as a hand grenade where the primary tactical benefit is displacing enemy formations and shrapnel injuries are secondary. The mine beeps loudly to alert friendly units to which parts of the perimeter are being probed and to trigger panic in the enemy so they will scatter and run into more vulnerable positions.This effectively increases the area denial effect of each mine greatly without requiring any additional explosive charge.
>>729425041because the game was made for console babbies who take 3 seconds just to do a full 360?
>>729425863They should do a 360 and walk away to the store and buy a PC
>>729425119I thought it was to enable chain reactions of random offscreen bullshit.
>>729425041as a videogame enemy, your primary main tactical objective is to entertain the playersilly things like logic, self preservation or winning arent as important
>>729426824Real world military tactics are to not fight fare and try to find ways to murder people. Real world anti-personel mines do not beep and just go off instantly and are mostly buried. Meaning you'd have to give the player mine detecting equipment and have to demine areas. That's a chore and not fun.
>>729425041it attracts attention and the beeps add to the curiosityonce the target realizes what is about to happen, they are already deadthe trap is effective, those who see the trap don't live and those who haven't don't have the appropriate response to survive
>>729425041dont you need to upgrade to have that much of a delay? pretty sure they go off pretty quick without leveling up or unlocking a perk.
>>729425041From a game world perspective you might be laying mines with a guy right next to you best everyone knows how it arms
>>729425863So you mean 99.999999% of the PC mustard rice
lams from Deus ex.
>>729425041So that only slow retards are killed
>>729425863doing fast 360s should make your character dizzy with enforced bad aimadhd autistis deserve to be punished for their crimes against vidya

>>729425041I like the way they simulate mines in Tarkov. If you wander into a minefield like a retard, that shit is blowing up without warming and leaving you disoriented with blown-out legs.
>>729432336Don't mind if I do
>>729427032No, it's about 2 seconds from tripped to BOOM regardless of perks, iircThe perk mostly applies to pressure plate/tripwire based traps, not mines unless I'm mistaken
>>729425041Even more retarded is how you can disable it by simply pressing the big glowing button on it
>>729432835Light Step makes it so no traps of any kind ever activate by stepping into their trigger.If it was up to me NV would only be 1 perk every 4 (4,8,12,etc) levels with a hard level cap of 30
>>729425041feel free to install the mod which removes landmine glow and beeping warning, and let us know how fun it is
>>729425493Why are you trying to justify an obvious gameplay conceit.
