This section will go over static damage sources (having a fixed spot on certain maps). Most of these will harm you and lumes within range.

• Explosive Cuboids
  Maps: Park - The Gate - Construction Site - Laser Bridge - The Last Stand
  A regular pack of explosives. They will trigger upon impact, whether it being you, an explorer conscript, or an explosive tower (rockets & AR mines). If a lume manages to survive the explosion, it will be stunned for a short duration.
  
  
  
• Explosive Cylinders
  These function exactly the same as the cuboids and can be regarded as their initial colonization of Loek III counterparts due to the maps they are found in, with Dam being somewhat an exception.
  Maps: Train Station - Canopy - Jellyfish Cove - Shortcut - Dam
  
  
  
• Timed Explosives - Com Tower (2)
  These explosive require manual detonation by interacting with them (F-key by default). They explode after a few seconds dealing a solid 7500 damage in a very small area, so plan accordingly if you intend on using these.
  These will reset themselves after each wave so don't worry about saving them for later waves.
  
  
  
  
• Fire pit - Construction Site
  The agro on lumes brings out the true potential of the fire pit. However, the only lumes this will be somewhat successful on are Walkers, Screamers & Snorkers and their alternate forms.
  DPS: 1200 (lumes) / 40 (players)
  
  
  
• Exhaust Vent - Canopy
  This one is really only useful as an additional damage dealer as the space to guide lumes is really small.
  DPS: varies by distance to source: 800-2800 (lumes) / 20-52 (players)
  
  
  
• Healing Tiles
  Maps: Roadworks - The Labyrinth
  These heal lumes passing over them, avoid them as much as possible (Roadworks is pretty much an exception to this rule)
  Healing Per Second: Roadworks - 4000 | The Labyrinth - 3000
  
  
  
  
• Clusters - Cluster
  Spread across the higher points in the map are pulsing spores. Shoot them and deliver an explosive surpise to any unfortune lume passing by the landing spot.
  Damage: 6000, reaches 2 grid squares, recharges after 15 seconds
  
  
  
  
• The Smasher - The Smasher
  Shoot the button and deliver devastating damage to any lume that happens to be on the special tiles below this giant wrecking machine. Almost nothing will survive it, save for those who managedd to aquire a high enough health pool, but that really isn't gonna happen anytime soon.
  Damage: about 100 000 (developer quote), about 25 sec recharge
  
  
  
  
• The Jellyfish - Jellyfish Cove
  In this map, you'll see three sets of "flowers" sticking out of the ground, connected to a central dome we will call "The Jellyfish". Each set is triggered by jumping on the big spots with the same color on it. Each color will affect lumes in a different way.
  Purlple/Blue: applies stun to lumes in range, lasts 7 seconds, 30 second recharge
  Red/Orange: sets targets on fire, dealing 37500 damage over 10 seconds, 45 sec recharge
  This trap will deal it's damage spread over all targets, one target takes the full amount, 10 targets will each take about 3750 each and thus the DoT effect will only last one second
  Green: deals direct poison damage valued at 9000, 20 second recharge
  <image WIP>
  
  
  
• Lasers - Laser Bridge
  The map features 4 lasers, 2 firing in straight line and 2 firing diagonally. When activated, they will kill or deal massive damage to any lume in it's path. Flying lumes are mostly immune because they stay above the affected area of the lasers.
  Damage: 15 000 spread over 3 seconds
  
  
  
  
• The Flood - The Slums
  As soon as wave 3 starts, you will hear an alarm sound. The level of the sewage will rise & partially submerge the map. This will restrict you to mostly standing on your tower bases.
  
  
  
• Sniping Screamers
  Maps: Roadworks - The Smasher - Shortcut
  Screamers are ranged lumes, and the only ranged lume that follows the rules of the maze.
  There are, however, a few maps where they can snipe the core (hence this hazard's name) halfway though the maze. Screamer Matriarchs have a slightly larger range & do this earlier on. The pathfinding however does not use this mechanic, meaning you will be safe if you don't let them pass the tiles from where they can target the core.
  
  
  • Roadworks
    The raised pathway between top and bottom is the weakspot here. This is partially done to avoid you to build the easiest setup, being the one where each lume spawn will have to cross 1 bridge.
    If not counting the final wave Partriarch, this is without a doubt the easiest setup
    
    
  • The Smasher
    Screamers have a direct vision of the core if you let them pass by the guard rails near the core.
    
    
  • Shortcut
    The first two larger ramps counting from inside out. Screamers will not actively walk there, but random pathing may lead them to getting in position. The safest way to handle this is to block these tiles from access entirely.
  
  
• The Rolfinator
  Maps: ARC - Radar - The Last Stand
  These giant player-controlled turrets are here to provide high bursts of damage for when your setup just can't handle the lumes. These will usually be employed during the early wave, since you lack a proper maze and a killzone, as you'll most likely build Anti-Air in the first wave. The bullets are of the explosive type, so feel free to make use of that splash damage.
  These turrets fire 2500 damage explosive projectiles, 2 projectiles in one round, 20 rounds total. As with many weapons, this one also has a weakspot modifier, which I've noted down at 30% extra damage.
  It will reload by itself upon the start of a new build fase, so you can only fire it up to 20 times in a wave. If you fire it in the build fase, it will reload once depleted or when you press the reload key manually.

[/list]

This part will go over every player-like object on various maps. These will serve as an additional distraction for lumes and attack them, except for the shielded explorers who will serve the sole purpose of blocking them.

Beyond this point, the guide will contain details about the maps. If you wish to find mines and explore the maps on your own, then I advice to stop reading here.

• Park - 2 Mines
  
  These are easy to find. As you spawn, look to the left of the core
  
  
  Video:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Bio Lab - 7 Mines
  
  These are also easy to find. 5 mines can be found around the core
  
  
  The other 2 can be found in the cantina
  
  
  Video:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• The Gate - 7 mines
  
  These require a bit more exploration. The first one can be found in the wreckage near the garage
  
  
  Another 2 can be found behind the core, just to the left of your spawn
  
  
  The final 4 are found past the Gate 3 sign
  
  
  Video:
  

• Construction Site - 3 mines
  
  The first one can be found in the area you spawn in
  
  
  On the other side of the core is a landing platform, the second mine can be found there
  
  
  The third one is a bit tricky to get. Stand on the landing platform facing the core, you should see a small platform above the core. That's where the mine can be found along with a Game-In-A-Game. See green marked area on previous picture for further information.
  Easiest way to reach is Rex Jumping from the tower near the landing platform, Rymdskor perk recommended (double jump), Plumber Shoes optional. Can also be done by sprint jumping off said tower as Skye with aforementioned perks, or Sweet with Rymdskor as demonstrated in the video.

• Com Tower - 5 mines
  
  From your spawn, move across the bridge towards the other building, the first mine can be found there
  
  
  Near the core there is a path towards a jump pad that brings you up on the second level. The mine is found near the jump pad
  
  
  The final mines are located in the Lab, which can be accessed with a button hidden in the map (location has been marked on the minimap)
  
  
  Video:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Cliff Lodge - (5) 4 mines
  
  As you spawn, turn around, the first mine will be waiting there
  
  
  Still in the spawn area, look for a hologram of Loek III and interact with it. A door on that side of the level should open giving you access to 2 more mines and a Game-In-A-Game
  
  
  Head out towards the other core. In a corner near some chairs, a fourth mine will be waiting
  
  
  This one has misteriously disappeared
  The final mine is your first encounter with a Bio-mine. It's found within the plants on the right side of the map

• Outpost - 7 mines
  
  This map will throw you right into battle against a Walker Patriarch. If you want the most use of the mines, it's of great importance to get his attention before he gets close to the focus tower as there is a mine located there
  
  
  On the right side of the battlefield, you'll see a cantina. Go to the top level, 2 mines can be found near the white doors
  
  
  Near the core, there is a way to an upper and a lower level. The upper level can be accessed via the walkway between spawn & battlefield, the access point to the lower level is behind the core. The upper level contains 1 mine, the lower has 3
  
  
  Video:
  

• Train Station - 7 mines
  
  As you spawn, go straight forward, you'll come across a table with 2 mines
  
  
  Turn left, across the tracks 2 more can be found near some machines
  
  
  There is a train on the tracks. In between this train and the ramp up to the spawnpoint is a platform with a mine.
  
  
  For the last 2 mines, go along the path until you see stacks of containers, the mines are situated amongst them
  
  
  Video:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Canopy - 11 mines
  
  As you enter the map, move to the right. A mine will be near a mobile tool box
  
  
  The next one is somewhat above you, go to the right and climb up the beam, the mine will be at the end of it
  
  
  To your left there will be a walkway to a lower level, 2 mines will be there
  
  
  Head back up and go towards the lume spawn to your left. 2 mines will be sitting ontop of a container
  
  
  The final mines sit ontop of the tall building in the middle of the map. Another time to pull out Skye or Sweet for some parcouring.
  
  
  
  Video:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Roadworks - 5 mines
  
  The mines are in 2 seperate places, 3 in the upper part (2 spawns), 2 in the lower part (1 spawn).
  For the lower part, head past the spawn onto a road, follow it and eventually you'll reach the mines
  
  
  For the upper part, inbetween the spawns, there is a walkway leading into a ship. Mines will be to the right & left of the entrance
  
  
  
  Video:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Abandoned Lab - 6 mines
  
  Look around your spawn area, the first mine is there
  
  
  Move forward. To the right there should be a grill, 3 mines can be found near it
  
  
  Now head to the top right spawn on the map. To the right of the spawn (when facing it) is a way to the upper level, next to it is a mine
  
  
  Follow the enemy path from said spawn. The first wall you are facing has a hole in it that gives access to the upper level and contains a mine
  
  
  Video:
  

• The Depths - (8) 5 mines
  
  The first set of mines can be accessed from the upper level. From where you spawn, look slightly to the right, there is a walkway that stretches all the way along the building. It splits at the start, the way straight forward leads to 3 mines, the one to the right leads to a button that opens the area of the other 2. The room they are in is right behind you when you spawn.
  
  
  
  
  The following 3 have mysteriously disappeared
  For the ones on the ground level, face away from the core along the enemy path. To the left are some rocks and some land that separates the water. There will be 3 mines roughly where they meet.
  
  
  Video:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• The Labyrinth - 10 mines
  
  From spawn turn around and head down, there you will encounter the first 2 mines
  
  
  
  Make your way to the second core, follow the rightmost path while doing so. You'll pass a submerged section, look to the left and up, 2 mines are sitting there
  
  
  Move further to the second core. When facing it, explore the part to the right of it, 2 more mines will be hiding behind a raised floor tile
  
  
  Now head up the ramp near this core, a mine will appear in front of you ontop of some mushroom like plant
  
  
  Finally, head towards the center of the map, 3 mines are hiding amongst the plantlife
  
  
  Video:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• The Wilderness - 10 mines
  
  From spawn, look down and to the right. You'll see 3 mines
  
  
  On the other side of the core the 7 other mines are found
  
  
  Video:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• The End - 6 mines
  
  Note: first one unobtainable due to terain shenanigans (submerging issue)
  As you jump down the hole, you should be able to see the first 3 mines, Skye or Rymdskor perk (double jump) recommended to reach the second platform
  
  
  Keep the wall to your left, the next platform shouldn't be hard to spot
  
  
  While still keeping the wall to the left, look over the edge, the last platform with mines should be seen now
  
  
  Video:
  

• Cluster / The Smasher - 0 Mines
  The first maps to contain no default mines so use your resources wisely.
  
  
• Jellyfish Cove - 9 Mines
  In each of the 4 directions is a path away from the tower grid. There are 3 mines behind the core, 1 on the beach across the map, and 5 devided between the left & right beach
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Laser Bridge - 7 Mines
  Behind the left lasers lie 2 mines, the other 5 can be found scattered around in the area behind the core. 1 behind the plants directly behind the core, 2 to the right of the gate to Destrict 31 and 2 more behind the fence near that gate.
  

• Power Relay - 5 Mines
  
  The mines are split amongst the platforms with the Explorer Conscripts.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Shortcut / The Slums / Sokol - 0 Mines
  
  More DLC maps that do not feature premade mines.

As with most DLC maps, there is a general lack of premade mines. This time however, all maps lack them. Looks like you will need to fight of the hordes on your own.

Once again, all maps lack mines. This time however, you have SiMo units at your disposal & the mighty Rolfinator. Now go hunt some lumes.

I hope you enjoyed reading this guide. I will try to keep this updated as soon as possible if they release new content.
I am open to sugestions, so feel free to leave a comment, and leave a like in the process.

Special thanks to Larfin_Man, thanks to who this guide could be completed, and for providing video footage of the mines (links present in the changelog)
