Bottlecap Mine (Fallout 3)

A Bottlecap Mine is a craftable landmine that does much more damage than a standard Frag Mine.

Building
See Schematics - Bottlecap Mine.

Usage

 * Bottlecap Mines are of the same sort as regular landmines, but with a bigger warning attached, and a far more powerful explosion. One Bottlecap Mine will kill almost any NPC in the game, including deathclaws, while a regular frag mine will have much less damage. Bottlecap mines have a wider radius of explosion, and therefore users should use caution when setting them for incoming enemies who are already fairly close. When you set a Bottlecap Mine, it cannot be set off by yourself or any permanent companion you may be walking with, but almost all other NPCs will set it off.
 * Like normal Frag Mines, the Bottlecap Mine will become live and likely to cause instant death after it's dropped into NPC's pants (inventory) via theft.
 * Bottle cap mines do much more damage than a frag mine and can be fatal to the player if you set it off.
 * Bottle cap mines take a bit longer to arm and drop than normal mines.

Locations

 * You can steal the bottlecap mines from any weapons workshops (workshops are in any weapons shop).
 * They can also be found in various other places on top of Workbenches.
 * There is also a bottlecap mine on the Workbench if you purchase one for your house.
 * 3-4 can be found in the Super-Duper Mart.
 * There are no hostile Bottlecap Mines to be found in the game, presumably because their high damage would instantly kill almost any player with frustratingly little chance at avoidance.

Appearances

 * The Bottlecap Mine appears only in Fallout 3

Bugs

 * Occasionally, the Bottlecap Mine schematic will disappear from your build options at the workbench. Cause unknown.
