	The '''Mine Layer''' is an alternative secondary weapon for the Demoman. It appears similar to the [[Stickybomb Launcher]], ~~except with~~ a cylindrical magazine, a circular ejection port, and a large metal chassis with yellow warning paint on its side. The paint appears yellow regardless of which team the user is on.		The '''Mine Layer''' is an alternative secondary weapon for the Demoman. It appears similar to the [[Stickybomb Launcher]], but features a cylindrical magazine, a circular ejection port, and a large metal chassis with yellow warning paint on its side. The paint appears yellow regardless of which team the user is on.

	~~Instead of~~ the Stickybomb Launcher's manually detonated stickybombs, the Mine Layer fires ~~proximity mines~~ that ~~take 0.7 seconds to become armed, and will explode after an additional 0.4 seconds~~ when ~~an enemy player,~~ or ~~its own wielder, exists within~~ their ~~detonation radius. This includes shooting mines at an enemy, whether or not the mines~~ are ~~in mid-air. Mines cannot stick to walls, and~~ a ~~mine will bounce off the wall onto the floor once shot. Disguised enemy~~ [[Spy~~\|Spies~~]] ~~do not~~ detonate the ~~mines. If shot [[water\|underwater]],~~ the ~~mines will have significantly reduced velocity, but will explode as normal~~. ~~The mines have the same damage and splash radius as regular~~ stickybombs~~. As a penalty, the weapon only holds 4 mines in its clip~~, and ~~can only~~ have ~~4 mines out at~~ a ~~time~~.		As opposed to the [[Stickybomb Launcher]]'s manually detonated stickybombs, the Mine Layer fires tripmines that detonate when enemies or the user cross their laser (unless they are a disguised or cloaked [[Spy]]). They also detonate any nearby tripmines placed by the user in the process. Compared to stickybombs, tripmines deal 35% more damage and have a 35% larger blast radius.

	~~The weapon's alternate fire does not detonate the mines~~, ~~instead causing them~~ to ~~fizzle out without~~ an ~~explosion~~. If the user ~~attempts to deploy another mine when four are already out~~, ~~the oldest one placed~~ will ~~fizzle~~. ~~If the user dies~~, ~~all mines placed will fizzle~~. ~~The mines~~ have a flashing light and make a quiet beeping sound, warning enemies of their presence, ~~and~~ make a ~~louder~~ beeping sound when they are about to explode. An enemy can avoid a mine explosion by walking into its detonation radius, then walking away before it explodes. The explosion radius is 20% larger than the detonation radius. Mines shot at enemies will not stick to them, instead bouncing off and landing on the ground.		Tripmines take 2 seconds to arm upon attaching to a surface, and 0.15 seconds to detonate after being triggered by an enemy. When triggered by the user, tripmines will instead detonate after 0.5 seconds to make blast jumping easier. After arming, tripmines emit a glowing laser that fades out over long distances. They also have a flashing light and make a quiet beeping sound, warning enemies of their presence. When triggered, they make a loud beeping sound.

	~~Because the mines are triggered when the user walks into their radius~~, they ~~can be used to explosive jump like regular stickybombs~~. ~~Mine jumping deals significantly less damage than [[Jumping#Stickybomb jumping\|sticky jumping]], with~~ the ~~Demoman being able~~ to ~~tank more than 3 mines~~, ~~compared to him dying instantly when attempting a triple Stickybomb jump~~.		The Mine Layer's alternate fire fizzles out tripmines without an explosion, regardless of if they're armed or not. If the user attempts to deploy another tripmine when four are already out, the oldest one placed will fizzle. Mines also persist after the user's death.
