How to disarm mines during Locked Gate in ARC Raiders

The Locked Gate event in ARC Raiders has always been a tricky one to manage, and things have now become harder. The Week 21 trials involve disarming several mines when the event is live. This is also a completely new activity introduced as part of the Shrouded Skies update, so let's look at how you can do the needful without blowing yourself up. For starters, I advise rolling in with a free loadout. Things can go wrong quite easily, and this guide will prevent that from happening.How to disarm mines in ARC Raiders For starters, you'll need to wait for the Locked Gate map to appear in rotation.
