The '''TR/9 Antipersonnel Mine''' | The '''TR/9 Antipersonnel Mine''', commonly known as the '''trip mine''', is a [[Mine|landmine]] used by the [[United Nations Space Command]]. | ||
==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
The trip mine is deployed as an anti-infantry or anti-vehicle weapon. It is sensitive to pressure, and can be detonated by [[weapon]]s fire or the close proximity or impact of a [[vehicle]] or infantryman. It is apparently capable of detecting the anti-gravity generators found on [[Covenant]] vehicles.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''Crow's Nest'' (''"Used by Brutes"'')</ref> The mine will explode after ninety seconds if not detonated before then. The TR/9 trip mine saw usage during the [[Battle for Earth]] and the [[Battle of Installation 00]], both by UNSC forces and by [[Jiralhanae]] that had acquired caches of the mines. | |||

Once deployed, it can be identified by a high-pitched beeping noise, four inner spokes that rise up, and a distinctive flashing bright orange light on its top. Its blast radius is considerably larger than a [[grenade]] or rocket explosion, throwing vehicles and personnel into the air. | |||

*Sometimes, while playing in [[multiplayer]] or [[campaign]], players can either accidentally run or drive over their own trip mines or those of their teammate(s). | *Sometimes, while playing in [[multiplayer]] or [[campaign]], players can either accidentally run or drive over their own trip mines or those of their teammate(s). | ||

*Even though it's said that this is [[UNSC]] equipment, [[Jiralhanae Jumper|Jump Pack Brutes]] always have one ready to use, and no [[UNSC Marine Corps|marine]] or [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODST]] has been seen using one, though there are several mines in a marine base on Tsavo Highway. | |||

*During the initial unveiling of ''Halo 3'', a [[Bungie]] employee claimed that, "The Trip Mine is probably going to be used as a 'I got you' weapon as people only seem to drop it right before being splattered." | |||
*In the ''[[Halo 3 Beta]]'', deployed trip mines could stick to the bottom of a motionless vehicle. If the vehicle then moved, the mine would explode, killing all players inside of it | |||
*The shape of the trip mine resembles the German-made [[Wikipedia:Teller mine|Tellermine]] series of anti-tank mines developed and used during the Second World War; both mines are hand carried to their targets and are sometimes tossed into the way of an enemy tank in hopes of destroying it. | |||
*If a trip mine is dropped from a high location while active, it will explode on impact. | |||
*A trip mine will not detonate if walked over while crouching. | |||
