Planetside 2 Engineer Level 6 Toolkit Anti-Vehicular Mine(s) Defuse Video

The last rank of the Repair Tool now allows Engineers to deconstruct enemy tank mines. This will reward the Engineer experience.

YEEEESSSSS!!!!!!!

uh did you really just stick a camera in front of your monitor? there are plenty of free programs that record your scree

I prefer to defuse mines with my carbine. That way they defuse all the ones next to 'em as well.

But sometimes it is usefull to disarm them, without blowing them up (when they are under your deployed sunderer, or you just want to be silent)

Rikkit omg i didnt even think of them being under your sundy
you literally just enlightened me to why this update was useful
i thought it was useless bc you can just shoot them, but now it has actually a very small yet usefull use!!

wow thanks for pointing that out, silly me

Looks cool! Though, you do now there's a feature in the game that lets you record right? Look up on the key bindings and find the button for it. For me it's the Re Pag, in the opposite side of delete.

Or when they are in a room full of people and shooting it will TK someone.

Oh wow.. another reason why every engineer should take this skill to level 6, Nice find!

So when will we be able to defuse c4?

If you're in a position to defuse C4, you probably killed the guy who laid it, in which case it would despawn shortly anyways.

Including a recorder built into the game

Mines don't really xplode under non-moving sunderers, so if the suicide engineer is taken out - so the mines can't be shot - , you can defuse the 2-3 tank mines.
This seems to be this feature's most common use.

I run Mineguard 4 on my sundi.
I get more exp repairing the dmg from exploded mines, than defusing them

I love this feature, but I have not yet been able to use it. Why in the hell is this reserved for the final level?? Couldn't it just be really, really slow on lower levels?

It's like the devs are getting off on discouraging teamwork. "You have to play THIS long to be helpful"

One reason to add it at the final level is...

That gives you a reason to buy it. MANY people don't bother with the last level cause of its expense.

I defused them around a sunderer. I tried to defuse them in front of tanks but "DON'T MOVE! MINES!" is apparently understood to mean "FULL SPEED AHEAD!!!". So they got defused at a much higher resource cost.

Next time use the toaster. I heard it records better than the potato.




tee hee

So I was doing this to mines under a friendly tank...

And an ally shot the mine as I was diffusing it.
