BF2S Forums How long does it take for the AT mine to be active

its only like 3 or 4 secs after u drop it. I throw them ON tanks and it takes like 5 or 6 secs.

Same with a claymore sometimes, I lay it and people are having picnics on it

How long will the mines you've laid as an engineer will stay on the battlefield?

1/ Until you swap kit?
2/ All round?
3/ Until you die?

Even if you never die in a round, I believe that claymore/C4/mines disappear periodically. I just don't know how long they last. Some knowledgeable fellow will chime in I am sure.

The claymores/c4/mines are tied to your kit bag. Subject to the time limit above, as long as your kit bag is active your stuff remains.

About 5 seconds after your bag disappears (either you died or dropped you kit for another kit) you stuff disappears.

If you respawn and regrab your old kit you stuff will remain active. This comes in handy if you planted c4 on a tank but it kills you; you respawn, grab your old kit and BOOM tank is toast.

Fond memory: SpecOps lays c4 on my tank, I as engineer jump out to do battle but die. Dude grabs my engineer kit and grabs my tank. GRRR. I respawn, grab his old SpecOps kit and laughing uproariously detonate his ass.

Hope this answers most of your questions

Its about 4 to 5 i think for both Claymore and AT mines.
