It seems like that I can't detect landmines at all! I'm currently in the north-eastern SAM site (I've liberated Omerta, Drassen, and that SAM). I have some mercs. Both are weak in EXP. My IMP's stats: WIS 78, EXP 20. After I failed detecting those landmines which sorround the SAM site, I bought Barry and Red. NONE of them could detect those mines :whoknows:. I'm in despair. This is so annoying, because my brother also plays WF, and he can detect those mines, even with Ira (!). :angry:

Please help! Thank you.

Note: I can detect landmines in Omerta.

They ramped the 'trap levels' on those things up pretty high, so that low-level mercs simply can't spot them before they go BOOM. You'll need mercs of high EXP *and* decent levels - 4 or higher, I think. :whoknows:

FWIW, when I still played WF5.0, I didn't bother looking for landmines with a merc below level 4, and the sole mine detector I found in my first campaign was virtually priceless (and never discovered again). After my first experience, I simply avoided areas I knew or suspected to be mined... which usually meant I had to take a 'full-frontal' approach to places like the D15 SAM site. :bomb: Mad

Well... thanks! I hope I'll find a metal detector somewhere.
I started a new game, and it works with mercs like Dr. Q. who has high WIS but low EXP, and it doesn't work with idiots like Steroid or Malice. I still wonder what triggers this ability, and why did Red fail...

Good luck with that - IIRC, they deleted metal-detectors from Bobby Ray's and the enemy-equipment lists *and* deleted them all from sector inventories; the one I found was a fluke, one they missed somehow (and that I could never find again, no matter how hard I looked or where).

Never really understood that particular decision, myself.... :whoknows:

before you start new game give a metal detector to a few characters with pro-edit maybe?

Where can a I find a pro-edit to WF? There's no pro-edit in my WF directory. I have one for the normal JA2 and another to 1.13. So how can I modify stuff in WF?

Well it's V6.04 (build 12.01.06)... There's no other bugs.

If that conforts you,even being late,Brain rocked on my game detecting mines.He skyrocketed his explosives stats from around 40 to 80.

"They call him Brain,did you know that?" - Scream

You have to try many times though.If he can't detect a particular mine,try another one or try approaching that mine by another way.
