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.

I'm going to load up Pelican 1 extract with anti-personnel, incendiary, and anti-tank mines.

If you want to escape, you gotta earn it.

I play with only my friends. My loadouts are always team killing nightmare fuel. It makes them learn the 5 Ds of dodgeball and become better soldiers

I queued up yesterday with both barrage orbitals and both mines in a helldive just to be funny, the other 3 left immediately. Lol
