AC3 - Trip mine

Trip mine

Trip mines were explosives used at the time of the American Revolution by the Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton.

Usage[]

Trip mines acted in a similar fashion to the bombs used by the Ottoman Assassins in that they were placed at a strategic location on the ground, and whenever someone stepped onto the mine, it would trigger an explosion, killing anyone within the blast radius. However, while the Ottoman Assassins' bombs had not just lethal, but also tactical and diversional uses, Ratonhnhaké:ton's trip mines were strictly lethal. Aware of this, if he placed a trip mine in front of the guards, they would immediately engage him in open conflict.[1]

Availability[]

Ratonhnhaké:ton could purchase trip mines from any general store in Boston, New York, or the Frontier. They could also be crafted by the Davenport Homestead's resident blacksmith David Walston using a mixture of clay, flint, and gunpowder.[1]
