The Jolt Mine is a deployable trap in Arc Raiders designed to control space rather than deal direct damage. When triggered, it releases an electrical shock that stuns targets within range, giving you time to reposition, escape, or follow up with other actions. It is light, compact, and easy to carry, making it a practical option for both solo players and squads.

What the Jolt Mine Does

The Jolt Mine uses a proximity trigger. Once armed, it activates automatically when an enemy enters its radius.

Key behavior:

• Takes 1 second to deploy
• Becomes armed 2 seconds after placement
• Can be disarmed and recovered if not yet triggered
• Pops up on activation and releases a stun effect

It works on most visible surfaces, allowing flexible placement in corridors, doorways, and open approaches.

How to Get Jolt Mines

There are three main ways to obtain Jolt Mines:

• Scavenging. Found during raids in loot containers.
• Crafting. Requires learning the Jolt Mine blueprint first.
• Vendor Purchase. Sold by Apollo once available.

Each method fits a different playstyle, but crafting is the most reliable way to restock them regularly.

If you prefer a more direct way to unlock crafting options, some players choose to buy Arc Raiders blueprints online from SHANNENG. It can save time if you want steady access to items like Jolt Mines without relying on random drops or vendor rotation. For players who value planning and consistency, this approach simply offers another way to keep their loadouts ready between raids.

This has led to ongoing discussion about how the mine fits into the overall balance of traps and gadgets.

The Jolt Mine is a reliable utility trap that rewards smart placement and patience. It is light, affordable, and effective at stopping enemies long enough to change the flow of a fight.
