Well, you would know where you dropped the mines. Otherwise, spin in circles to figure out where it is coming from. A lot like finding an enemy team of power monkeys randomly shooting at each other in the clouds.

As for how it works? We have infinitely loading guns on warships hanging from party balloons. Reality does not concern me.

On the compass it could have a sort of pulsing circle in the general direction of the mine.

I do believe GoI uses some sort of virtual surround sound. At least I "feel like" hearing where shots are coming from when using my stereo headphones.

As for the gun idea: I really do like the concept. Perhaps emitting a flare when the proximity sensor is triggered might be an interesting variation.

Anyone that's played counter strike can tell you, you can easily locate sound with stereo headphones.

Not just that, headphones are better for locating enemies than the surround systems. More reliable at least, in terms of calibration.

Yeah, the directional sound has always been very useful to me in this game. I like to rely only on sight and sound. I occasionally look at the map but i have never really payed attention to the compass.
