Limpet mines are land mines used for territory denial in areas where it is not practical to place larger or more permanent mines.[4] Their best use is next to doors or teleport pads so as to prevent arrival of reinforcements.[5][1]
A limpet mine is affixed to any flat, firm surface via electrostatic charge. After a built-in 3" delay to allow the user to get out of range, it detonates when any moving object approaches within about 1/2 meter (triggered by its detection field).[5][4][1]
Extremely small and light a single soldier can carry several limpet mines, even on a light patrol.[5][4][1]
Trivia[]
The Hintbook gives inconsistent number of the blast radius.
