Fortnite Proximity mine
The proximity mines, which have been long known as iconic weapons in the Goldeneye, especially during multiplayer, are now available as a new item and can be used in lethal ways to cause damage to your opponents. This is the first time that Epic Games has added this feature in Battle Royale.
Proximity mines will be available in stacks of three and have a maximum of six mines. They cause 50 damages and mark the opponents after automatic detonation when a target comes closer or walks past. It also lets deployers to have a peek through the walls for a moment, allowing them an edge over the opponent.
