How to unlock the Proximity Mine in XDefiant

The Proximity Mine is one of the best devices you can have in your loadout in XDefiant, but you need to unlock it first.

Thankfully, all you need to do to unlock the Proximity Mine is complete an easy in-game challenge in XDefiant, and here's how you do it.

To unlock the Proximity Mine, you need to deal 1,000 Damage with devices. You don't need to deal this amount of damage all in one match, it should be relatively easy to complete this challenge.

If you're new to XDefiant, you'll soon realize that you'll need to complete many other challenges to unlock Factions, weapons, devices, and more.

The best way to effectively deal damage with devices in XDefiant without the Proximity Mine is to toss Frag Grenades at your opponents during matches as you'll eventually hit the 1,000 Damage mark.

To do that, ensure you equip the Frag Grenade in your loadout before heading to a match. Then, use the Frag Grenade when a good opportunity arises, like a bunch of enemies gathering up in one place.

To throw your Frag Grenade, you only need to hold the device button for a couple of seconds while you prepare to throw it at your opponents. Repeat this strategy until you hit the 1,000 damage goal and you'll unlock the Proximity Mine in no time.

The Proximity Mine can be placed anywhere and it waits for an opponent to run by before detonating. One of the best ways to utilize the Proximity Mine is to toss it near the entrance of your camp as it will deal a lot of damage if not kill enemies invading.

Another good use for the Proximity Mine is putting one close to your sniper nest if you like playing with the sniper rifle. This will give you some cover in case enemies rush to kill you.
