| | The '''Lotus Anti-Tank Mine''' is a [[UNSC]] explosives ordinance. Lotus anti-tank mines are used to seed a land area around a defensive position. Although placed in the ground, most [[Covenant]] vehicles hover over them. Fortunately, they are activated by motion rather than direct contact, making them effective against both infantry and vehicles. It is also known for the famous feat of tearing apart a [[Scorpion|Scorpion tank]] like it was warm butter.<ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], page 259.</ref><ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], page 312</ref> |

| In ''Halo Wars 2'', Lotus Mines is a [[leader]] power available to [[James Cutter|Captain Cutter]], [[Isabel]], [[Ellen Anders|Anders]], and [[John Forge|Forge]]. Whereas it is a Tier 1 leader power for Captain Cutter and Isabel, it is a Tier 2 leader power for Anders and Forge. Furthermore, Isabel and Anders can upgrade to Lotus Mines II, which has increased damage and explosion size.

| | |
| When activated, three mines are deployed to the targeted location in a linear pattern; rotating the camera allows the player to rotate the pattern’s orientation. Each mine is cloaked shortly after being deployed, and will detonate when enemy ground units enter its proximity.
