Developed by a group of underground [[Red Faction(Rebellion)|Red Faction]] researchers and engineers, the [[Proximity Mine]] was designed to help entrap and ambush [[EDF]] forces. Based upon claymore mine technology, the [[Proximity Mine]] detonates a small charge of explosive material which propels a collection of shrapnel at high velocity.  The shrapnel explosion is sufficient to take down several enemy personnel or disable a vehicle, but inflicts only minor damage to structures.
 
 
 
 
'''Recommendations:''' Make sure to hide the [[proximity mine]]s well because the [[EDF]] CAN see them if they are in the open and will shoot them. Let's say you're cornered with low health in a building.  The [[EDF]] are likely to come in to kill you, so you might want to hide a prox. mine next to the door way (if the building is not very damaged) and wait.  Or you could want to snipe, but the [[EDF]] keep coming up the stairs and trying to kill you. Put a bomb in one of the door ways. Problem solved.

    Description

    Sticking a Remote Charge on enemies or vehicles can be difficult, so I've rigged up some proximity mines for you. These things are more sensitive, so they'll have to be placed directly on the ground. Be careful where you place them; the proximity sensor has a hard time judging friends and foes. „
