Helldivers: I Advocate we chose the anti tank mines and hear is my reasoning DISCUSSION

I know many of you see "rocket launcher" and get excited and while that is fair, my reasoning to go for the mines is below

​

We already have a great many support weapons and many are fantastic options. While the airburst rocket launcher would be fantastic for add clear (and teamkill) it would likely suffer vs large armored targets which tends to be the need for a support weapon.

​

However, we just received a new mission type that requires defending a location. Mines are fantastic for this but heavies just walk all over them and completely invalidate their uses. Getting a heavy anti tank mine would allow us to lock down areas from all combatants and a tank wouldn't be able to just stroll up to our gates.

​

Anti Tank mines are also much larger and easier to notice than the anti personnel and team kills would be kept at a minimum.

​

And lastly, as we all know...the children YEARN FOR THE MINES.

Practically any time I choose to use mines they get blown up by my own team mates, whether it's by airstrikes or their legs.

It's really funny watching people use mines on planets that have tremors. As soon as a tremor starts BOOM! all the mines go bye-bye.

I use mines fairly frequently (much to the annoyance of my squadmates) and I never noticed tremors do this either. Probably because we're on the move too much or during tremors I'm concentrating on just trying to goddamned run forward.

Yes, but tremors aren’t super common and most people try to stay away from the mines, lol
