Tripwire: Similar to pressure triggers, but will only activate if the wire extending out of the mine (usually between two stakes) is broken.

Placing any part of the human body or driving over a pressure-based mine will activate it.

Pressure: The most basic form of trigger.

There are five different types of triggers that land/naval mines can use: Please refer to the Explosives article for further information regarding their usage and statistics.

NOTE: Satchel charges and other non-landmine explosives are not listed here. They may also be dispersed via artillery shells which will scatter individual mines around their impact zone. Unlike handheld grenades, landmines cannot be thrown and can only be planted onto the ground. In both cases, they can be disposed of by simply shooting at them with large-calibre small arms fire or explosives.Д®ngineer and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD)-trained soldiers can also safely disarm the device by hand and in most cases, retrieve it for further use.

Some may instead use alternate forms of triggering or can be manually detonated (remotely).Д«eginning with ArmA 3, underwater-based mines are also available and can be triggered by either waterborne vessels or amphibious ground vehicles. Throughout the ArmA series, landmines have functioned as pressure-based traps and will detonate when a vehicle or person drives/steps on them.
