Mine

Land Mines are common objects in Worms games. They are spawned by the game in random locations, or are set in specific locations as obstacles in the campaign. The mine's fuse can be set by the player in some Worms games, ranging from 3 seconds to exploding immediately after being triggered. The mine can also be placed as a weapon.

Usage
The mine can only be dropped, not thrown. Once a mine is planted, it will not activate until after the player has had time to retreat. If any worm is close to a mine when it activates, it will be detonated. The fuse time of the player's mine is the same as is set for all mines in the round. Mines can be dropped from a jetpack, and can be useful as a less-powerful substitute for dynamite. Sometimes it's even preferable to place grenades rather than mines.

Tips & Tricks

 * The mine can be placed to the side of a worm next to the water. The explosion will push the worms into the sea.
 * Mines can be moved by the baseball bat and bow and arrow weapons. Be sure that there is enough fuse time if you're going to bat a mine.

Trivia

 * There's a small chance for each mine to fail instead of exploding. This is signified by a small puff of smoke ejected from the mine.
 * Some worms players plant land mines on their opponent's worms in such a way that the mines look like hats, scarves, or turtle shells. This is done as a type of bizarre humor, earning the mine nicknames such as Blasting Cap or Cordite Yarmulke.
 * Mines are generally used more as a deterrent than an actual weapon, and are considered part of the Dark Side style of play.
 * In 2nd Generation Worms games, mines are used in a Bow and Arrow game, in which the worms will go bouncing from mine to mine.
 * Very rarely, a mine will spawn near a worm at the start of a game, just close enough for it to detonate. This is more likely to happen on a custom landscape.
 * In Worms World Party, mines deployed by worms are colored to match the team that placed them.
 * In Worms: Ultimate Mayhem, the mines will either explode with the normal effect, cluster effect, poison effect, or poison clusters.
