Proximity Mine

The Proximity Mine is a throwable item in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was introduced in Chapter 2: Season 2.

Functionality
The Proximity Mine, once thrown will stick to a surface or vehicle. Once an opponent walks close to the mine, or it is attacked or exploded by another explosive, it will launch up and detonate, dealing damage in a small radius. The mine can be physically moved whilst in the air, by hitting it with a harvesting tool, before it detonates. Damaging an enemy with the Proximity Mine will cause them to be marked and show their location.

The Mine will appear blue if thrown by a team member or yourself, and red if by an enemy.

Obtained
Proximity Mines can be obtained from a variety of places. They are found as floor loot, in chests, and in Supply Drops. They drop in stacks of 2.

Stats
Proximity Mines deal 50 damage.
