File:Quake1.gif The Proximity Launcher, (also can be called the Proximity Gun or Mine Launcher) is a Weapon that was introduced in and is only available to Scourge of Armagon for Quake. It appears as a red colored Grenade Launcher. It launches proximity mines which will only explode if an Enemy or the player gets near them. Its grenades also stick to walls and ceilings. The Proximity Gun shares ammo with the Grenade Launcher and the Rocket Launcher. The lifespan of a proximity mine is somewhat aleatory but never lasts longer than one minute.
