— In-game description
The Anti Tank Mine is issued to the Engineer Kit as a gadget after achieving 4400 points as an Engineer. It returns exactly as it does in the first Bad Company except that it is not a secondary gadget, to equip them, the player must replace the engineer's launcher. The Anti-Tank mine is almost identical to C4 except that a direct "hit" from a single mine can destroy tanks and even surrounding vehicles and infantry. However, if the tank is using the Active Armor Upgrade or is somehow not exposed to the full force of the blast, it may survive. Anti-Tank Mines will become primed 3 seconds after being tossed and will detonate in a 0.5m proximity to enemy vehicles (even helicopters).
By default, an engineer can carry 3 mines. However, a maximum of 6 mines may be present on the battlefield from the same player at one time. 6 Mines can be placed by using the explosives upgrade perk, resupplying on an Ammo Box or simply respawning in with another batch of mines. Placing more than 6 mines will cause existing mines to disappear without detonating in the order the mines were laid. Mines persist until detonated or replaced by a newer mine.
Friendly mines will not show on the map, the only way to tell is to spot them, if the mines become spotted, then they are hostile, if not, they are most likely (but not certainly) friendly. Vehicles using the Electronic Warfare Package can also detect enemy mines, in a small radius around them.
Mines are most effective when deployed in choke points or in regularly used paths of travel. Mines are easily noticed when on roads, dirt or when grouped but can be significantly harder to notice when placed in rubble, water (Laguna Presa Conquest is a great example), shadows, plants or near small rocks. Any weapon can set off an ATM whether it is friendly or hostile, shooting an enemy mine will spot it for the team.
In the Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Vietnam expansion pack, Anti-Tank mines function in the same manner. Asthestically, mines appear old and rusty.
