Trip Mines
Class: 5
Ammo Used: None
Maximum Clip Capacity: N/A
Maximum Ammo Capacity: 5
Best Used Against: Anything tough
Range: Very short
Accuracy: Extreme
Damage Potential: High
Though satchel charges can be a lot of fun in multiplayer, they're probably not quite as enjoyable as an old faithful - the trip mine. In the single-player game, use the trip mine as you would a grenade or satchel charge. Position the trip mine inside a hall or choke point and lure the enemy inside. Place the trip mine low on the wall so the enemy can't avoid the laser detection (if you put it too high, the creature might walk underneath). You can also place several trip mines in a single area and cause additional explosive damage.
A trick in the multiplayer game is to place the trip mine in a large area or down a long hallway, then retreat to a safe distance but within view of the trip mine. Use the sniper rifle or Desert Eagle to detonate the device when an enemy nears the trip mine. Place trip mines at the top of ladders, immediately around doorway corners, and on the last step of a staircase. Mines in these places are often undetected until the enemy's almost right on top of them. For an especially rude kill, place a trip mine at a multiplayer spawn spot. As soon as the deathmatch player materializes in the level, the player will trip the mine and explode into bits.
Snarks
Class: 5
Ammo Used: None
Maximum Clip Capacity: N/A
Maximum Ammo Capacity: 15
Best Used Against: Black Operatives
Range: Variable
Accuracy: Sporadic
Damage Potential: Medium
Snarks are small alien creatures, almost like fleas, that you can drop off in any location, and they'll chase down an enemy or multiplayer opponent - as long as the snarks see the target. If you drop the snarks, and they don't home in on another player, they'll likely turn their pesky little jaws on you. In a multiplayer game, save the snarks for a large room of opponents, especially opponents distracted by a battle. Drop the snarks and let the little critters do their work.
You won't find many snarks in Opposing Force's single-player game. Save them for the large rooms full of Black Ops. Drop them inside the warehouse areas, particularly down dead ends, and let them eat away at the trapped operatives. You'll notice that the snarks won't stay around forever. After they've chased their prey for a while, they'll simply give up and explode. You can defend yourself against the snarks by simply firing a weapon at them or running wildly to avoid them.
