The '''Brute landmine''' is a [[ | The '''Brute landmine''' is a [[Covenant]] explosive weapon.{{Ref/Note|It is unknown whenever the Jiralhanae actually built these weapons, as no source to-date has currently addressed where these mines exist canonically. However, given that it shares a design similar to [[Type-2 spike grenade|spike grenades]], it is likely that these mines were intended to be built by them. Additionally, the Sandtrap map description states that the location was at one point occupied by Brutes, making this origin all the more likely.}} | ||

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.
