Proximity Mine

The Proximity Mine is a throwable weapon that spawns commonly. It takes the form of a wooden Pressure Plate.

Effects
When thrown, it takes a few seconds for the tossed plate to become a placed plate on the ground. If stepped on, the mine will explode and shoot players straight up, dealing heavy damage.

Strategies and Notes

 * During a map's regeneration, phony mines may be spawned into the map. These are normal pressure plates that will not explode when stepped on. It is impossible for someone to tell the difference bewteen a fake and a real one, so use this to your advantage.
 * Proximity mines will not activate on slabs; when they are thrown, they will be left to be picked up by other players.
 * If a mine explodes next to slabs, however, the mine usually deals 2 damage or more, since slabs absorb blast damage.
 * A proximity mine may be used to get yourself to the floating island above Atrium.
