From The Vault
A Bottlecap Mine is a craftable landmine that does much more damage than a standard Frag Mine.
- Bottlecap Mines are constructable by the player, using the Schematics - Bottlecap Mine, a Lunchbox, 10 Caps, a Sensor Module and a Cherry Bomb.
- 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.
- 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.
- Bottlecap mines take a bit longer to arm and drop than normal mines.
- Bottlecap Mines weigh only one-sixth as much as the sum of their components.
[edit] Locations
- They can also be found on nearly every workbench, oftentimes owned by the proprietor of the shop the bench is located in.
- One on the workbench if you purchase one for your house.
- Three or four can be found in the Super-Duper Mart.
- The only hostile bottlecap mine planted by an enemy is in Fairfax Ruins.
[edit] Appearances
[edit] Behind the scenes
- The Vault Tec lunch box that the mine is made from is identical to the metal lunchbox you receive with the Collector's Edition of Fallout 3.
- 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.)
