→Types of Booby Trap
*'''Shredder Mines''' - explosive frag charges mounted on an upright plate launches shrapnel in random directions over a large area, creating a small killing zone. It is ideal for covering narrow paths and streams. Common patterns include ''Triplex Phall type XII "Repudiator" auto-mine'', ''Armageddon "Hammerhead" area denial weapon'' or the ''Necromunda pattern "Widowmaker" anti-personnel savager''.<sup>1</sup>
*'''Spring Mines''' - the device springs into the air before detonating, spewing their contents over a small area. Can be combated by having a soldier 'on point' who will trigger it but while the rest of the squad will be far enough back to be relatively safe. Common patterns include the ''Necromunda pattern "Jumping Snap" anti-personnel leaper'', the ''Gerian type XIV vertical blast device'' and the ''Martian Type CXI Fragmentation mine''.<sup>1</sup>
*'''Traps''' - a small pit at about knee depth with spikes in the bottom, covered over so that when an enemy steps on it they will be impaled on the spikes. Often native lifeforms are placed in the bottom of the pit to deal further damage. Also known as ''Spike Pits'' and ''Devil's Maws''.<sup>1</sup>
