    I’m sick and tired of getting one-shotted by epic maxed mines 99% of the time when I play with speeder, enforcer or fixer they’re broken af.

    I actually think mines are pretty well balanced. I've been using 1-2 snipers, 1 firebomb, 1 mine as part of my standard load out for a while.
    My FB is slightly lower "level" than my mines (hence slightly lower dmg total). And I sometimes, but rarely, only run 1 sniper (hence slightly lower 44.8/2 = 22,4 each)
    Over thousands of games my 3 core weapons damage output is about the same.

    So yeah, mines do massive damage, but they're a weapon of chance - they only sometimes work. On average they don't do more damage than other weapons in my experience.

    There's a thing called ' looking where you're going'. Works WONDERS. Now only requires 1 brain cell. If it doesn't work, you get an extra brain cell. That's my money back guarantee.

    Thank you for explaining why mines do not need a nerf, and not being this guy ↓

    Mines are probably more of a nuisance during events (when some people spam them to get high damage regardless of the number of deaths they suffer), but @Cpt Obvious data is fantastic in showing their balance over a very long period of time.

    There are a number of flaws in this argument:
    • We are often travelling in a different direction to which we are looking/shooting
    • It is impossible to tell the difference between friendly mines and enemy mines
    • Maps with darker seas make mines harder to spot than blue sea maps
    • It is harder for ships with OB or nitro to see mines due to having less time to react
    • It is harder for speeder to avoid them as they have a very low POV.
    • Mines are sometimes hidden where they can’t be seen such as long grass, around corners or in shipwrecks or repair boxes.
    However, if there’s an experienced player who’s never hit a mine who’d like to argue otherwise, then I’m happy to change my mind.

    I agree that mines are UNFAIR for the speeders of this game, however, you might want to try using a grenade. On a speeder, it not only gives the highest possible guaranteed burst in the game, it also opens up your FOV. You'll be able to see mines better if you use it.

    Ah, the humble grenade..

    Nice weapon. AOE, fire chance, good FOV, and isn't powerful enough for whiny babies to complain.

    Now many Nightmare players have a t4 or t5 legendary mines. I saw the mines of @YSL doing 5800 damage. That's too much for a single slot weapon to do. Now imagine what t5 would do:confused:

    When we talk about the mine, I don't think it is OP. But what is happening is more players are using mines and it has become impossible to play without hitting a mine in a game ( The use of mine will keep increasing over time). Now imagine being in the worst situation, u hit those t5 leg mines and u'll dead in next 15 sec or so, if ur team doesn't have a fixer. That's flawed right there.

    Again, I don't think mines are OP, but the fact that more players are using it now, makes it look like OP. And I feel no single slot weapon should do more than 6000 damage. They need to readjust the damage and also the mechanism of how mine works to make it balanced.
