Mines at the start of the match. (Not sure if it’s a bug or a mechanic.)

So, I’ve been noticing quite often at the start of the game that I’m simply not allowed to use mines, even though my guys are equipped with them. Later on it’s not an issue, only the first squad or so.

If this is a game mechanic, I think it should be removed. If it’s a bug, obviously a patch would be appreciated.

I vaguely remember it being a thing but I don’t know if it’s intended or why

For me its sometimes that nothing happens when clicking on mine keybind, but fixes if I throw grenade or explosive pack. Otherwise even waiting does nothing

I’ve noticed it takes a a few moments for the mines to arm then again I mainly use anti personnel mines.

The issue that we seem to be having is it doesn’t even give us the option to SELECT them.

Arming time is understandable. It keeps people from dropping a mine to instantly kill someone. The whole point is putting it down ahead of time, rather than as a reaction.

It’s a bug, if you want to use mines you have to arm a grenade/TNT/molotov and throw it, then you get your mines.
