- — In-Game Description
The Proximity Mine is an Explosive Weapon in Fortnite: Battle Royale, that 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 pickaxe, 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.
