I always choose the proximity mine, the advantage of throwing is nice but it's real power is that you don't have to waste time "aiming" the lasers in the right direction. you can also hide it under things to significantly increase its lethality, can't duck under the blast if it explodes at knee height.

I prefer claymore because in higher skilled lobbies people duck mines more. Claymores also you can hide behind walls while with proximity hiding it behind walls isn’t effective as the long explosive time makes it easy for people to outrun it, and if you try putting it between a doorway to make it guarentee a hit, it is so exposed as it lights up red lights constantly. Atleast with a claymore if you place it right , you can hide it well and can’t avoid it

Don’t forget that you can put the proxy mine on a recon drone so you can make a free kill streak. Running resupply and over clock will allow you to use two of these things back to back. Using decoy grenades combined with extra tactical and resupply will allow you to throw out three decoy grenades to give you passive points to greatly reduce the cool down of the drone. The decoy grenade also has a faster recharge time than most tactical’s so you can throw one out every 10 seconds instead of the usual 25 seconds. On modes like ground war/Invasion with a high required score and massive match timer, you have more than enough time to rack up kills for an AC-130 every match.

i like using claymores but the equipment is mostly situational, its especially good against the people who have god like reaction times and just goes prone on the mine instantly, imo prox mine is best for open areas such as fields or more in the middle of a room, claymores are best for people running around corners given the short detonation time and shorter range

i always liked proximity mines better, because, as everyone else said in comments, you can throw it without exposing yourself so you don't get caught lacking. Also I love throwing them into spots above or across from me where I otherwise wouldn't be able to place a claymore.

I don't think you mentioned activation time; when the lethal becomes active. The prox mine 1.5 seconds. Claymore 1 second. Could make a difference if you hear someone running around a corner and you want to quickly set-up a trap. Honestly, I love the prox mine. More so, than C4. I shoot them to quickly activate them if I want to preemptively clear a small room. Does shooting the prox mine change it's damage or kill range? Does the C4 have a bigger damage radius?

@@theragegamer1329 I did a 45 minute private match to gather all the footage about 7 days ago. At that time Bomb Squad was protecting against the Claymore but not against the Proximity mine. Since it was in the same match I figured that Bomb Squad was working as intended. Then a couple days ago after an update bomb squad started working again against the Prox mine, I was lucky to discover it before releasing the video because my entire video was based around the fact that the Prox mine was OP because bomb squad wouldn’t counter it. So I went back into a private match and sure enough Bomb Squad was working against the Prox mine, so I re-captured the footage and re-recorded my voice-over, hopefully it’s working as intended now and doesn’t change again. Lots of bugs in this game so it’s difficult to know what’s intended, but it makes sense for Bomb Squad to protect against all lethals.
