Thank you!
Only if they cap out at 300 damage prototype level. |

Only caveat, I would put it in the grenade slot. But that's not necessary for balance, just my opinion. |

Pretty soon we will have a use for those active scanners after all! I do support this idea, but I think it should usually not kill instantly, which is why I suggested 300 at prototype. |

That's the point. They shouldn't instantly kill guys in the same level gear. |

Give you a 300 damage lead on anyone who tries to flank you? Seriously wound an assault squad coming over a hill? Blow up the random ninja, alerting you to his location while he is near dead? I want the game to be more interesting than spend SP, get free kills. |

I want the game to be more interesting than spend SP, get free kills. Unfortunately the thing with this is that it can be really abused. All you would need is a logi only team carry AI proximity mines and throwing them around like there is no tomorrow. Thats why damage needs to be capped, blast radius too and friendly fire should be turned on. This is even if they do something like having a minefield of proximity mines they will either have to blow it up themselves or deal with the friendly fire consequences.
Yep, you understand the potential pitfalls exactly. That other guy... not so much. +1 to making them tools a skilled user can exploit, not a substitute for gun game. |

Maybe 3 active 5 carried as a grenade slot or 5 active 8 carried as a equipment slot.
They would be great for putting at entrances to buildings to warn if somebody is entering from another door, or to put behind snipers to worn of approaching shotgunner.
Clay more would be good too, in both remote detonated and laser tripwire flavors. Maybe they also should seriously injure rather then one hit kill? We are in very heavy armour, in pve regular humans should be one hit killed, but dust clones have enough armour to take a lot of damage.
There would have to be an interference mechanism to prevent stacking, otherwise 6 300 damage mines almost always really means 3 600 damage mines. |
