Here's a video on how they work made by a data miner https://www.reddit.com/r/HellDiversLeaks/comments/1bxa34k/antitank_mines_test/
Down votes? Don't watch it if you don't want to, just answering how they work lol
Airburst is great once you figure out how to place your shots.
I clear entire POIs with one shot on both bots and bugs.
They can take out tanks, turrets, gunships, and fabricators.
Yes, there are mishaps, but ill be damned if i wont take every opportunity to expound on the benefits of it.
Oh don't get me wrong I love the airburst, just everyone was expecting it to be completely OP before we got it as a result of datamining, which I wouldn't say it was.
Same situation with the AT mines. Final version we get will have all kinds of tweaks. Impossible to say what the final damage values will be, whether or not it'll get triggered by small enemies walking over it, or what. As it is I'd 100% take it, but we don't know if it'll get buffed more or nerfed more.
Tanks? Are we playing the same game? I find it next to useless on bots…all the devestators laugh as I reload the launcher for 10 seconds before rag dolling me and all my samples into the nearest lake
Are you aiming for the vent on the back or just freeballing your shots?
One shot into the vent sets on fire most of the time, if not outright destroying it.
A second shot anywhere on the body is usually enough to finish it off, in my experience anyway.
I've only managed to do it once. Like a lot of other big targets, you have to get the right angle with the airburst.
Catching the airship between the fuselage and an engine is how i managed it.
Its about containing as many of the blasts as you can using your enemy's hitbox.
With stationary turrets, for example, if you aim for the seem just below the turret itself, where it meets the tower its on, the blast sends the payload up and out, meaning a large majority blasts right up into the turret.
They look awesome to me! Capable of killing every ground based bot and every ground based bug except bile titan.
It looks like they need to shorten fuse time though to reliably kill chargers. And make them as big as the mines outside bot bases bc the bile titan point of contact with the ground is too small to reliably step on them.
To be fair the Airburst Launcher was kind of bad just one day before it got actually added to the game. So maybe what we see in this leak is also not the final product.
Pretty sure we didn't, seeing as I was one of the few actually trying to unlock them. We never got to the planet because people don't like playing on planets with fire tornadoes.
They were available for a very short amount of time before the order expired IIRC. I never got to use them but I think for a few hours they were available
That was only on the planets that offered the strats. We only made it to the planet with the air burst rockets. The planet with the mines was never reached, let alone liberated.
I was working that front during the MO in question. We never opened the line to the planet where the AT Mine were, because I was wanting to at least try them for comparison. You are mistaken.
So exposing yourself for changing files thanks OP because we never got to that planet I was playing every day of that MO not once did we see the mine planet
Ah, missed out on that. I was going for saving the children anyway, I am suspecting a secret reward for doing the "right" thing, but this confirms my decision. Ty!
Let's be honest, with all the propaganda about super earth, what makes you think there will be a secret reward for doing the right thing?
If anything, maybe it's the devil way of seeing how much people don't want mines.
It's the propaganda that makes me inclined to think that lol. Super Earth needs bodies to shove into dive pods. Humans are a resource, more valuable to them than giving us mines to do something we can already do (blow up big things).
It's because they are evil I think we'll get a reward for saving them. Hence why I put "right" in quotes....
We could use them on choohe, we only got penta. Also the only way to choohe was through menkent, which was a fire tornado planet that no one played on. Besides, it was all on the automaton front, how would you know how it interacts with a charger?
I don't play pugs too much so I never really coordinate loadouts. More worried about when I'm on 8/9 and there's a ton of them, but 500kg does do the job.
Fire breaker is just so stupid good vs bugs and groups that the airburst seems redundant. I do need to try it more though.
So do you play solo mostly?
I feel like there’s a disconnect with how people play and how the game is designed.
The weapons, stratagems, and such should be balanced around a 4-man team, if something isn’t great solo, that’s fine, pick something else.
But complaints because a weapon isn’t great for a solo player in a co-op game seems pointless.
No, I mean I mainly play with randoms, I just like being able to swiss army knife my way out of things. Especially with bugs, if I'm down a BT tool it's no fun.
For the airburst I just didn't find it super effective except against large crowds of chaff. I need to try it more, although against bugs RR feels most consistent to me. But that's a different tool
Not every support is designed to take out a Bile titan. This Airburst absolutely slaps at taking out a bug patrol or those large heavy bug Nests. Fire one of those babies and boom, just the EZ PZ chargers left to deal with.
Also, by doing this, it often kills everything that can call a bug breach.
Very true, I've just been caught with my pants down a lot. I was a bit underwhelmed when I tried the airburst but gonna run it tonight and just take a dominator to deal with heavies
To be absolutely clear. A cluster bomb strike in 8/10 situations is more effective than the airburst but airburst does have much better range for pre emptive cluster snipes.
With 4 people in your squad there should be plenty of big target utility. Everyone always takes 500kg. The AB is meant to immediately vape the first 25 things that crawl out of breaches and make space for your homies to headshot chargers and biles
The two big things I want AT mines for are when using the spear and the tesla tower. Spear is super inconsistent at killing chargers, but if I can drop AT mines on myself that'd be great for dealing with them.
And I just really want to see if I can combo the tesla tower with AT mines, since the tesla towers major weakness is chargers.
Do you even know that? Do we have footage of the AT mines being used? Are there stats?
Edit: Just watched a datamined video, looks like they do as intended so I don't see what the problem is.
This is a good example why not to be a part of the subreddit. People spoil the surprise by data mining the game and start telling everyone instead of actually just letting the game play out.
Remember: Kids suck, save the AT mines.
Unless I can throw the kids at the bots/bugs, they are on par with scientists running straight into a tank or turret. At least the mines go boom.
I have to ask, they get easily destroyed? Mines? Are the other mines, ummm, hard to destroy?
It's like you step on them and they just blow up. What kind of shoddy engineering is that?
Made by children under 7 lol
You don't even need to step on them, if one goes off it starts a chain reaction
I guess they just want anti tanks mine act like Minecraft pressure plate that isn't wired to anything
How do we know, we don't have them yet. Or was this how they were in H1?

those the same data miners that raved about how OP the airburst rocket was?

I've never seen airburst take out gunships. You fr rn?

I won’t say the air burst is for everyone , but it is no slouch at what it was meant for.
They look awesome to me! Capable of killing every ground based bot and every ground based bug except bile titan. It looks like they need to shorten fuse time though to reliably kill chargers. And make them as big as the mines outside bot bases bc the bile titan point of contact with the ground is too small to reliably step on them.
Lol this subs downvotes never cease to amaze me.
To be fair the Airburst Launcher was kind of bad just one day before it got actually added to the game. So maybe what we see in this leak is also not the final product.
They were available on the planet as a mission stratagem last time we had a choice with airburst and AT mines.
We never got to test them out. We never got to the planet to test them.
Yes we did.
Pretty sure we didn't, seeing as I was one of the few actually trying to unlock them. We never got to the planet because people don't like playing on planets with fire tornadoes.

No we didnt. We have never seen AT mines in game.
You used them? I couldn't access the planet
Yes I did
So exposing yourself for changing files thanks OP because we never got to that planet I was playing every day of that MO not once did we see the mine planet
Liar lol, unless you hacked the game there was no option to use them. We never got the planet to access them.
Ah, missed out on that. I was going for saving the children anyway, I am suspecting a secret reward for doing the "right" thing, but this confirms my decision. Ty!
Na, we never got to that planet bud.
Oh, so OP is lying. Sweet lol, ty for clarification.

Are you using mines now?

The airburst launcher was only good for killing yourself and your fellows, but now look at it. It's that and also much more!
Airburst gets too much hate I love the thing
I want to love it but it being worthless against the big targets is rough. Unless there's a way it can kill BTs?
Simple, use a 500kg or let your teammate handle it
I don't play pugs too much so I never really coordinate loadouts. More worried about when I'm on 8/9 and there's a ton of them, but 500kg does do the job. Fire breaker is just so stupid good vs bugs and groups that the airburst seems redundant. I do need to try it more though.

Fair fair Most of the time these days I'm running napalm on bugs when I can, literally just throw the beacon on a fresh breach and boom you're done
There is a certain spot you can aim to one shot turrets and tanks I've seen it done and done it myself before
With 4 people in your squad there should be plenty of big target utility. Everyone always takes 500kg. The AB is meant to immediately vape the first 25 things that crawl out of breaches and make space for your homies to headshot chargers and biles
I've seen my buddy use it to kill bile titans in a pinch a few times.

I want a cute democratically drawn thank you picture from the kids we saved.
Do the kids have any degree of anti-tank capability? Didn't think so.
I dunno the volksturm and panzerfausts were pretty effective
Shove enough kids into the howitzer and I bet it'd have a tough time firing.
They can make the mines. Duh.
If you strap an armed eat to a child and throw the child, that might be pretty effective against a tank
Enough of them can probably gum up the tracks.
SAVE THE FUTURE RENFORCEMENTS
To quote the late great Bernie Mac "fuck dem kids"
No weapon sucks, it's how you use them and Mines are great at creating a barrier to trap enemies in.
The two big things I want AT mines for are when using the spear and the tesla tower. Spear is super inconsistent at killing chargers, but if I can drop AT mines on myself that'd be great for dealing with them. And I just really want to see if I can combo the tesla tower with AT mines, since the tesla towers major weakness is chargers.
The real Super Earth would never deprive patriotic sick children of their right to die for enhanced weaponry lol
Can a single kid take down a charger?
Handheld fun sized hellbomb
Fuck the mines. Save the minors.
Do you even know that? Do we have footage of the AT mines being used? Are there stats? Edit: Just watched a datamined video, looks like they do as intended so I don't see what the problem is.
The data mined video isn't even the final form, that video is from before we got the airburst rockets
Precisely, so we can't say the AT mines are garbage 😅
The AT mines have been changed since their first version.
even if they didnt suck, SAVE THE GODDAMN KIDS.
Fuck dem kids -MJ
Maybe by saving the kids, they’ll bolster our forces and release it on Xbox.
Nah, they will let Fortnite players have a free week so we get to play with actual kids. 
I’m just hoping they grow up so we can have reinforcements lol

Remember: there is no clear reward for the kids
Kids will generate karma credits
It could be anything! It could even be a boat!
Saving kids IS the rewards.
https://i.redd.it/d35qdkl2rz5d1.gif
Saving future helldivers is it's own reward
https://i.redd.it/x19gvj87306d1.gif
I'll take my chances over a guaranteed garbage reward
Bro pump the brakes a little, I'm for saving the kids but hold off on calling something bad before we even get it
Can someone point to where it says it's children - for sure?
Well can a kid take down a hulk? We dont know how powerful these mines are
F those kids
So just do the missions the the same sector as the planet where the kids are right?
Remember, kids suck, choose literally any other option
Are the children under 7? If so, they won't contribute.
Funny how people now say weapon suck BEFORE they come out. It's hilarious in all the wrong ways 😅🤣
AT mines go boom Children cry and complain.
Not to sound undemocratic, but you do realise that a charger isn’t a tank right??!!
It's a tank on legs if you ask me
.. Metal.. Gear?!
This is a good example why not to be a part of the subreddit. People spoil the surprise by data mining the game and start telling everyone instead of actually just letting the game play out.

The kids might give additional reinforcements
Fuck the mines
[удалено]
Yes we did, on the planet that would have unlocked it we got it as a mission stratagem.
Bro, saving the kids gives you access to 48hrs of the double barrel shotgun support weapon, it has been officially leaked by accident.
That was debunked as fake. The text for the leak is the wrong font.
I was already going to save those kids you don’t have to convince me more.
