Bottlecap Mine (Fallout 3)

A Bottlecap Mine is a craftable landmine that does much more damage than a standard Frag 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 cause instant death after it is reverse-pickpocketed onto an enemy. However, this is not recommended, as all explosives weapons are fatal when reverse-pickpocketed, but few explosives match the Bottlecap Mine in terms of actual stopping power.
 * Bottlecap mines do much more damage than a frag mine and can be fatal to the player if caught in the blast.
 * Bottlecap mines take a bit longer to arm and drop than normal mines.

Locations

 * They can also be found on nearly every workbench, oftentimes owned by the proprietor of the shop the bench is located in.
 * There is also a Bottlecap Mine on the workbench if you purchase one for your house.
 * Three or four can be found in the Super-Duper Mart.
 * There are almost 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 of avoidance. The only hostile mine planted by an enemy is in Fairfax Ruins.

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.


 * It is possible to duplicate Bottlecap Mines (see bugs section of frag grenade.)
