| During the [[Second Ark Conflict]], the Banished deployed cloaked plasma mines on the surface of [[Installation 00]] near the ''[[Enduring Conviction]]''{{'}}s [[gravity lift]]. The plasma mines failed to deter UNSC forces, as [[UNSC Marine Corps|marine]] [[sniper]]s were able to detect the mines using their equipment.{{Ref/Level|HW2|Under The Dark}}

| In ''Halo Wars 2'', Plasma Mines is a [[leader]] power exclusive to [[Atriox]]. 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. A second leader power, Counter Measures, automatically deploys plasma mines around newly-captured [[Power Node]]s. Each mine is cloaked shortly after being deployed, and will detonate when enemy ground units enter its proximity. The explosion damages nearby enemy units, then creates a pool of boiling plasma in the area (lasting approximately 40 seconds); enemy ground units in the pool continue take damage over time. In the campaign level ''[[Under The Dark]]'', the plasma mines do not leave behind a pool of plasma.
| |
| | |
| In [[Blitz]], Plasma Mines are replaced by [[Scorch mine|Scorch Mines]], which leaves behind a pool of burning plasma for a much shorter duration.
