Category:Anti-infantry mines

An anti-infantry mine is a device used to autonomously protect against enemy intrusion. Like the anti-tank mine, it uses methods designed to detect infantry movement and inflict grievous damage upon them.

In the real world, mines can either be triggered mechanically by use of prongs or tripwires, remotely detonated through radio or wired detonators, or triggered via motion detection and other electronic means.

In Battlefield games, mines are typically motion-sensitive—set off by players walking or sprinting inside the mine's detection area. Crouching or proning may allow a player to bypass a mine without harm.
