Trip Mines In Black Ops 3 Useless?

[steezmyster]

During my time with the beta I got very few kills if any with the trip mines. Did anyone actually find them useful?

I used them extensively and they were almost as consistent as frags, though I was playing Domination like a scrub.

To use them effectively you need to predict where enemies are going to run through and plant them before. They are pretty easy to avoid...

Probably my favorite use is the fact that the Talon killstreak will set Tripmines off and destroy them in 1 hit. So basically when you're getting hunted by a Talon throw one at your feet and run away, and you can consistently take out Talons.

If you want kills I think don't think you're supposed to put them on the floor. Try putting them on walls (or ceilings? idk)

ceilings are the way to go I already have 100+ kills with mine, had alot in the beta also. it has a triple stack explosion so it can fill a room from top to bottom or side to side if its on a wall.
