This article is written as a guide to help the average player understand what a Claymore is, how and where to place it correctly to achieve the best effect.

Claymore is an anti-personnel mine that operates when an enemy moves near it. The explosion can be avoided by moving very slowly (crawling or sitting).

The mine has a concave shape, and the explosive sensors are located on the concave side. Therefore, the Claymore should be placed with the concave side facing the direction from which the enemy might appear.

Usually, Claymores are placed in narrow passages where space is very limited, and the chance of the enemy encountering it increases several times.

By default, you have one Claymore in your kit, but you can increase this number to two if you take the perk "EXPLOSIVES".

But anyone can “just” place a Claymore, while placing it “smartly” is not something everyone can do.

Tactical Techniques

To get the most out of placing a Claymore, you need to imagine yourself in the enemy's position and think:

- What path will they run along in a specific situation?

- What cover will they hide behind?

- Where will they be looking, as well as where will they not be looking?

Considering these factors allows you to identify several important aspects:

Placement

If you position the Claymore wisely, it will be difficult for the enemy to notice and disarm it.

Only the convex side of the mine can react to enemy movement. When you place the mine on a surface, you should place it with the convex side facing forward.

Keep this in mind!!!

  • In confined spaces, try to place the Claymore side-on against the wall, as they will be less noticeable. Be sure to position the Claymore with the convex side towards the area from which the enemy will appear.
