Buried in vast minefields composed of hundreds of individual devices, these explosives appear to be used to protect specific locations from troop movements. When an individual trespass this border up to a certain length, these mines will automatically eject themselves from their buried position, rising vertically about two to three meters above the ground, and detonate similarly to a [[M9 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose grenade|UNSC fragmentation grenade]].<ref name="H3ST">'''[[Halo 3]]''', ''[[Sandtrap]]''</ref> | Buried in vast minefields composed of hundreds of individual devices, these explosives appear to be used to protect specific locations from troop movements.

Since the mines are designed to [[Wikipedia:air burst|explode above a target]], they can shower the crews of vehicles like the [[M274 Ultra-Light All-Terrain Vehicle|Mongoose]] or [[Type-52 Infantry Support Vehicle|Prowler]], or infantry who venture into the minefield, with explosive debris. The mines are less effective against aerial targets (due to the fact that the mines can only reach and explode on a relatively short height above the ground) unless the player is flying relatively low to the ground. The mines can injure players even with invincibility turned on, when shielding inside a [[Bubble Shield]] or behind a [[Deployable Cover]], similar to the [[Covenant automated plasma turret|automated plasma turret]] in [[Snowbound]]. | Since the mines are designed to [[Wikipedia:air burst|explode above a target]], they can shower the crews of vehicles like the [[M274 Ultra-Light All-Terrain Vehicle|Mongoose]] or [[Type-52 Infantry Support Vehicle|Prowler]], or infantry who venture into the minefield, with explosive debris.

At some point, Jiralhanae occupiers seized control of some nondescript [[Forerunner]] [[Sandtrap|ruins]] on an unknown world, and planted these mines in the desert around the ruins to keep potential intruders out. The minefield, however, proved to be ineffective at keeping the [[UNSC]] forces of the {{UNSCShip|Aegis Fate}} out of the area. | At some point, Jiralhanae occupiers seized control of some nondescript [[Forerunner]] [[Sandtrap|ruins]] on an unknown world, and planted these mines in the desert around the ruins to keep potential intruders out.
