    Sometimes i see a small icon near crosshair. It looks like a small explosion. I saw it in vehicles, i saw it as infantry. What is it?

    i think it will show off when one of your mines gets destroyed (i only get this symbol when i placed mines with my engy or infil) but im not sure.

    The Target you or someone injured near your crosshair is wearing flak armor. There is another icon for Nanoweave, and one for conc/flash bang, and another for emp.

    Basically, it means that whatever you're doing, it's not working very well.

    Yeah, the light blue one basically means you attacked someone with something explosive, but it bounced off because of flak armour.

    I think it means "watch out - there's a Gatekeeper or Vulcan Harasser just behind you" (or so it seems these days...)
