S-Mine/Battlefield V

The AP Mine is a gadget featured in Battlefield V. It is the default Gadget 2 of the Recon kit, and is an unlockable Gadget for the two other kits. One is carried upon spawning, but an additional mine can be equipped using an Ammo Cache.

The AP Mine works similarly to the Tripwire Bomb - HE in Battlefield 1. It is proximity activated, and when detonated can inflict severe damage to an enemy player on foot. Upon activating, the mine will leap into the air and explode, which takes just under a second. This delay means the weapon can be ineffective against players sprinting through the blast zone, as unlike the Tripwire Bomb bonus damage is not applied to sprinting enemies. A single mine is technically capable of killing a full health player, as it deals 112 damage within its 1m inner blast radius. However, by the time the mine is in the air and exploding, it is likely a player has moved into its outer blast radius, within which damage drops of precipitously out to 5.4m. Therefore, a common tactic involves placing two mines together for more consistent kills. Players can shoot enemy mines to prematurely detonate them.

Certain Wehrmacht land vehicles, such as the Panzer IV and Tiger I, can unlock S-Mines as part of their Vehicle Upgrades. The mines are stored in projectors around the vehicle and are ejected on command, potentially killing any close-range attackers.
