How to unlock the You can place another mine now achievement in Brink - Definitive Guide
The description is a little misleading. The achievement wants you to incapacitate an enemy with a mine, not simply knock him to the floor. Nor do you have to outright kill him, simply incapacitate him to the point of requiring a medic (or his own syringe) to get back up.
Not all enemies will be incapacitated by a mine. For example, heavy-build, or even medium-build enemies if they have enough health buffs, can survive a direct mine detonation, and most enemies will survive the explosion if they are sprinting or SMARTing across it.
The two most reliable places to get a kill with your Mines are:
~~ In front of an objective you are defending. If an enemy Operative/Soldier is going to HAVE to stand next to it to complete their objective, you're near guaranteed to get a positive detonation. Also, often a planting/hacking enemy will have taken a little bit of fire on the way, and will be deprived of his health buffs and more likely to die.
~~ You could also try an obvious map chokepoint. If you're noticing a pattern - all the enemies crossing a particular bridge/entering a particular door, simply drop a mine in a likely location, and drop a few rounds into any approaching enemies.
If you'e having trouble online, don't forget that this can be gained playing solo. Simply select Campaign from the main menu, and set your settings to Solo play.
press left on the D-pad and hold X until it is placed. Then just
wait for an unsuspecting enemy to walk onto it and be blown up. This can be done in campaign by yourself or online. It's not very hard but if you want it quick, I would recommend doing it in single player because it is less likely that the NPCs will notice the mine.
Cheers!
I was able to get this in freeplay with the following settings:
From the main menu, start a private freeplay game.
Make sure the following options are chosen:
Game Mode: Objective
Play Mode: Solo
Map: Terminal
Under match settings:
Min/Max Team Size: 1
Once the game starts make sure you are security > Engineer then run to the objective, the AI will probably be there so kill them, plant the Mine as the AI comes back into the room, sit back and wait for him to set it off.
Then just keep shooting at him in short bursts, after a while he will run away and directly in the landmine and then you got the achievement.
You can also get this on the private match where you fight only one enemy :-) hope this helps
Required Class: Engineer
Required Ability: Mine
Ability Unlocked: Rank 1 (automatically unlocked)
The mine is an ability you get from the start. To place one, hit and place the mine somewhere you know enemies will be running by. The mine will not detonate until they actually step off of it. Therefore, you will want to place it near an objective but not right in front. Otherwise they can still get the objective done first and even possibly be killed by someone else.
You will need to be an engineer to obtain this trophy, plus you will need to purchase the Landmine ability to use landmines. Once you have purchased the Landmines, plant the Landmine in front of an objective that you are defending or in front of a door that the enemies are mostly likely to come out of.
You will not have a problem with your teammates messing anything up, since they will not be harmed if they walk over a land mine.
