+These guns were sitting in game assets since early development days but weren't implemented. Now, you can try them out! Sounds are not final, however

+<Heading title="Landmines" caption="by wheatleymf" />
+<Img src="landmines.png" />
+
+This week I have implemented landmines. They work like... landmines. If you step on an enemy landmine, you'll have a chance to break it by using your shovel.
+(you can try using guns as well! but it may not end well) If you try stepping away, it will blow up, killing everyone else in the radius. If there are any other 
+landmines in proximity radius, they will explode too, causing a chain reaction. 
+
+After deploying a landmine, it will activate in one second. If you're playing a team-based gamemode, landmines will be painted by a team-specific color, so you can know 
+which landmines are placed by teammates. You can't break, trigger or blow up team landmines. They also will automatically decay in 3 minutes after deploying, which 
+means that you can't fill an entire map with landmines. 
+
+Currently players have 3 landmines to place, and you cannot place more than 5 landmines in world. This means that you have to destroy/blow up existing landmines 
+you've placed before deploying new ones. 
+
+All features listed here are "work in progress", so I'll correct anything for future playtests depending on how it goes this weekend. 
+Also keep in mind that I'm not a very experienced programmer, so expect tons of weird bugs with them!

-This month was pretty slow, since most of us are busy with real life things, however since last playtest we've made dozens of improvements and now it should feel like
-a much more solid looking game. Most animations are implemented, some gameplay feaures have been improved and even expanded, movement should feel much nicer, visuals
-are slightly better than before. Some sounds got improvements. There's still a good chunk of work ahead of us, so next playtest after this one will bring even more
-interesting stuff!

-Speaking of next playtest, it's probably too early to talk about it. This is something we will announce separately sometime in near future,

+We've done some good progress, although admittedly early October was pretty slow. Game is shaping up pretty well and hopefully we will be able to host
+new playtest very soon. We have more cool stuff in development, so stay tuned!
