    Duration is lowered by 80% so no mine is going to last that long.

    Generally I agree and think that mines will be a problem at all times except, question: what's the current mine expiration time (and 80% reduced)?

    They’ll only last for 18 secs (currently 1min 30sec)

    you see to me I could use the fact that they will explode to my advantage for splash damage without setting them off possibly whilst on the run. Not sure yet but does give an interesting dynamic to mines as more of a torp like weapon not leave and hope!

    I’m not so sure. I think that because of the reduced effectiveness that far fewer people will run them. It would be a full time job trying to protect your own flag with them, and in the meantime your teammates could be getting decimated by the enemy.

    Anyway, the interesting thing is that we have different opinions (it would be boring if we all played the same strategy). We won’t know for sure until the event starts, and that’s what makes the game fun. :)

    I swear I've never been hurt by a mine exploding. What's the difference in splash are of exploding vs detection area? Splash radius is 2. What's detection radius?

    Overall at 18 seconds I'm willing to see how it goes. Might be a reasonable compromise. I just hope devs can easily adjust that if it turns out to be unreasonable.

    Oh and someone said something about different strategy. The one thing I really liked about the events so far is I've had different strategies and weapons for every event. Had to adapt. That won't apply to everyone but for me, I've been using weapons that I've never liked in regular play.

    I think with a good turbo defender might actually be a good pick for flag carrier as they're harder to sink. The yellow bois can't use OB and Nitro so tankiness could be useful. Get some tesla bolts and play support for this one.

    not really due to:
    1) respawn protection
    2) mine duration is reduced by 80%

    It means that, during overtime, the game will end, once a team scores or both flags are returned to their bases.

    They can use it to catch you, they just can't use it with flag. Otherwise, it would make me smile so much to see a speeder not being able to catch me. That wouldn't be fair to yellow boats though. Unfairness for comedic purposes involving yellow boats is not something I'm against though. I'd love to see tb occasionally bounce back and stun them. That would be so much better than a win.

    "Or both flags are returned to base" does that mean draw?
