Visually comprised of a Lunchbox and Sensor Module, strapped together, the bottlecap mine is a powerful improvised weapon. It functions like other land mines, but takes the player slightly more time to arm and drop. It also has a longer warning sound before detonating. Like other placed explosives, it cannot be used in V.A.T.S.
