The Homing Underwater Mine, also called the Water Mine or Sea Mine, is one of the Explosives in ARK: Survival Evolved. It is unlocked at Level 88 for 30 Engram Points.

The Homing Underwater Mine is a stationary explosive that floats in place unless approached by an enemy survivor. When an enemy gets close enough, the mine will chase after them until it makes contact and detonates, dealing massive damage. While an excellent choice for defending aquatic bases, the Homing Underwater Mine is quite expensive to craft, making obtaining many of them a huge task even for large tribes.

Damage

List of explosive damage versus various materials as of Patch 257:

^* The damage is greater than the health-points of structures of that material
^** IEDs are currently just about impossible to place on stone, metal, or Tek structures.

Notes

• Homing Underwater Mines will not chase after the player who placed them down, nor will it chase after their tames.
• When raiding a base protected by Homing Underwater Mines, consider sending out a decoy creature (or player) to draw their attention.
