For gameplay reasons, players cannot set off the Proximity Bomb by stepping on it. Though, if they are standing in range when an enemy sets it off, they will be hurt by the explosion. Also, if it hasn't detonated, the player can pick it up again. Note that you can set off the Proximity Bomb by shooting at it. The proximity mine also appears in Resident Evil Outbreak File 2's "end of the road" scenario. In this case, the player must avoid the mines laid by the UBCS; It also appears in Elimination 3 scenario, where a player needs the Mine Detector in order to avoid them.
