Land Mines are unique Hardmode, post-Plantera placed items. They remain dormant once placed, until a character touches them or they are activated by Wire, at which point they explode, dealing 250 damage. They are purchased from the Demolitionist for 5 each, after Plantera and at least one Pirate Invasion have been defeated. In the Console version, Land Mines can be purchased before Plantera is defeated, but only at night; once Plantera is defeated, they will be available at all times.

Notes

• Land Mine explosions do not damage placed blocks or walls.
• NPCs can trigger Land Mines.
• Not to be confused with the mines placed by the Proximity Mine Launcher, which uses Rockets purchased from the Cyborg as ammo.

Tips

• A Pressure Plate wired to Explosives may be more effective during PvP, since it is not as visible.
• Since the mobile version doesn't have a housing menu, Land Mines are useful for moving NPCs to different houses (NPCs sell different items in different biomes).
• Land Mines can be used as a way to kill (and collect drops from) friendly NPCs.

Trivia

• In singleplayer, if a Softcore character is killed by a Land Mine, they will not drop money on death. This is because it counts it as a PvP death (also true for Hellfire Arrows and Explosive Bullets).
• The Land Mine's texture is a reference to "Worms", a series of video games created by Team17.

History
