Landmines were standard equipment of the engineers in Battlefield 1942. In this mod landmines are rarely part of the selectable classes/loadouts, it is more often part of specific kits found on the map. Landmines explode only when they are run over by vehicles, only walking over them is safe. They can vanish after some time the soldier that placed them died. When put down on the ground they sink down so that only the grey cylinder in the middle is visible.
Landmine do explode if hit by heavy gun, which can clear out densely placed minefields in a chain reaction of explosions.
They can be desarmed by a Wrench in the same way one would repair something, but in this case removes the landmine entirely without a bang.
The landmine model is the "Tellermine 35 St", the later model of the Tellermine 35.
Depending on the map the mines can be either in desert or winter colours aswell.
Timed Landmine[]
Identical in looks but not how it performs. It is available to the German tank hunter along with an MP 40/II and Geballte Ladung. It detonates like an Satchel charge after the five second fuse. This kit is only available on the map Alpenfestung. One with a seven second fuse can be found on the map Sand Storm.
It may also be gotten at random from the "HEAT" kit on maps around Berlin. The same kit will not give regular landmines only these timed ones.
