Proximity Mine Launcher

Cyborg vendor purchase and stationary mine traps

Purchased from the Cyborg NPC for 35 gold once he moves into valid housing following Plantera's defeat. The launcher lobs heavy proximity mines that drop with a steep gravitational trajectory and cling to ground tiles. Fired mines remain dormant on terrain until an enemy steps onto their sensor hitbox, dealing 80 base ranged damage with 4 knockback at a use time of 50.

Invasion lane defense and explosive stacking

Unlike active assault rocket weapons, the Proximity Mine Launcher is designed for defensive setup and lane trapping during invasions such as the Old One's Army or Pumpkin Moon. Laying mine clusters along spawn pathways or boss arena platforms vaporizes grounded hordes as they charge forward. Pairing the launcher with Shroomite Helmet enhances explosive potency. The top prefix is Unreal, improving damage, knockback, and velocity.

Trivia

• Mines cling to solid surfaces and detonate automatically if enemies pass across their contact frame.
• Detonations from active proximity mines can harm the player if they stand too close during an explosion.
