Minefield

One false step and..

Description

In my personal opinion minefield is the most fun type of all so far unlocked random worldmap events. Its kinda refreshing one as well. If all goes well you won't have to fire a single bullet in the entire process of raiding it. But lets start from the beginning. And in this case the beginning lies in a short tale.

„

This was good day. We are heading to base with trunk full of stuff. The peasants and other losers in the close vicinity were easy prey. They didn't fight back at all, and surprisingly enough they still had stuff that we could steal..borrow. The wasteland belongs to the strong! And we are strong! "Hey Mike don't you think were getting to close to one of those old military bases?" I asked. "Nah its fine, trust me, I'm an engineer!" he answered. 20 second later we rode through some old table with skull image. We ignored it obviously - we are strong!, 23 second later we exploded...

”

So yeah basically, a car full of very, very stupid Khans (and very dead now) drove right into old minefield close to one those fancy pre-war military facilities. While all of them died in the process, the car trunk is still untouched. And its full of loot that should be yours.

This encounter has 4 variants, depending on its location in the world map. The car cannot be used anymore (no matter how many times you will try to lockpick it, it will always result in a fail). So What can you do there? First of all you can explore the locked trunk, be sure to also check the remaining dead bandits who exploded there. Secondly you can come with long range weapon and lurk for other people who try to divulge themselves into minefield and "help" them with one well aimed rocket (that should push them onto mine causing them to explode).

The mines are being spawned all around the car. To get to it you must have at least decent trap skills (around 80%+ to be able to effectively go through the minefield). Just go hex by hex, clicking on mine's that are blocking you're passage.

Video

One video is more than thousand words right?
A PvP video that took place in some worldmap random events (minefield action starts after around 30 second).

Points of Interest

The only interesting thing in every location variant is a car itself. Well to be exact a Car trunk. Remember - its locked!. Oh also in case you're curious: you can't pick up mines and then take them with you.
