Default A Way to Counter Lightweight-Claymore?
Everyone here probably knows that anyone using lightweight (or an SMG, I have recently learned) can sprint past claymores without an effect. I was wondering if anyone had any solutions on how to prevent the lightweight user running past the claymore.

I heard placing the claymore backwards can work, but I'm not sure if thats such a good idea...

Its a great idea where the beams and the claymore face will point to his back as they run past them. Now if they have scrambler pro, then you are effed since they will delay it enough to run past it. Luckily most want commando for that huge lunge or ninja pro for silent footsteps so put them facing away so the blast will get them as they sprint by it.

Place them better.

ViS used a diagram in a guide on C4F, that shows the best way.

5x Claymores

Claymores are the only perk I will be going over in this guide. Good placement of claymores can ensure your survival a lot better than being able to outsnipe people on the other side of map. While quite deadly in hardcore, Claymores rarely do enough damage to kill anyone on softcore, rather making them easy meat for your pistol. Here's how to make the most of the little beasts...

Plant a claymore so that the beam closest to the wall is parallel to it. That means that it should be aligned straight with the wall. Since Claymores explode in a cone shape in front of itself, we want the target to be running into the EDGE of the beam and being in the middle when the mine goes off. Since only fools would sprint through a door in almost any circumstance, that's quite achievable as long as we don't have the beam being wasted by going into the wall. Here's a little image to illustrate my meaning...



Okay, so maybe I'm not as much of an MS paint wixard as I'd like to be. That SHOULD explain my meaning better than a thousand words can though, so there it is.

Also, this is how NOT to place claymores.

Don't plant them directly facing the opening of a door or opening.
Instead, plant them like in the graphic that Platypus posted.

That means, when you're planting it you will be facing across the opening and against the wall, but just far enough away so that the beam is not visible until it's all too late.

Thank you, Captain Obvious. All you did was repeat the quote.

Put it directly behind your butt
That way if they try to run and knife you, they'll run into the claymore, and you can realize if they're there

I made a guide on how to make a better claymore back in December '09, but here's my diagram anyways.

A Better "Claymore" (Glitch within)

Just do it like everyone's said, I usually put them so it hits them in the butt as they go by, that way a lightweight dude might get hit as well...

Im a lightweight-Claymore person coz im a rusher. But as other people said,put it further into the room or put it behind their back. I would also put 2 claymores 1 at the door and 1 a bit further.
