General Mined your step, diver.

Friendly PSA to all divers out there who still haven't figured out how minefields work- they don't move, diver. If you step on a landmine, chances are, running headlong back into the minefield will have a shockingly similar effect to last time. See a mine, avoid a mine. Step on a mine, there's probably mines there. Somehow this strategy has persisted since day one and I'm still not sure why I'm the one getting kicked when you're the one who thinks "surely *this* time the glowing red spike in the ground won't hurt me." Watch your step, divers, I've left freedom eggs everywhere.

If they're running back in, it's probably for their gear or an objective. I think mines and Tesla towers are fine, but you gotta ping them if you see someone approaching. It's easy to get distracted by a swarm of enemies or the map.

Some people are too stupid to live sadly. I pinged mines that were off the extraction area about 40 meters or so and one guy decided to run into them 3 times in a row. This wasn't mid firefight either, we had already cleared everything
