Proximity Mine

Set it and forget it—until your enemies get too close, and then it’s too late for them.

The Proximity Mine is a tactical explosive device featured in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. This throwable weapon is designed to detonate automatically when an enemy or vehicle gets too close, making it ideal for setting traps or defending key areas. With its ability to trigger remotely without direct player intervention, the Proximity Mine offers strategic flexibility for ambushes and defensive scenarios.

Design

The Proximity Mine is a small, throwable explosive that is designed to stick to surfaces and explode when triggered by nearby movement. Its compact design allows players to place multiple mines around key areas, creating deadly traps for unsuspecting enemies or Vehicles. Once placed, the mine will automatically detonate when an enemy, player, or vehicle comes within its blast radius.

Performance

In both GTA V and GTA Online, the Proximity Mine is a highly effective tool for setting traps and defending Locations. It deals heavy damage within its blast radius, making it effective for taking out groups of enemies or Vehicles. Players can strategically place these mines around choke points, vehicle paths, or entrances to ambush pursuers. However, players must be careful not to place mines too close to themselves, as they can be triggered accidentally and cause self-damage.

Customization

The Proximity Mine cannot be customized, but its remote trigger and automatic detonation make it a versatile tool for setting up strategic defenses or ambushes without the need for modifications.
