Okay, so you know when Variks says, "Dismantle mines, yesss?", and then weird spiky things appear everywhere? It turns out, if you [i]stand in the circle underneath them, [b]YOU WONT DIE[/b][/i].
Edit: It seems you may also have to fire your weapon in the general direction of enemies [i]while[/i] you stand in the circle. Complicated stuff.

After dismantling 2 rounds of money solo I got a message from one of the other guys saying my kill ratio sucked. Next round left the mines (strangely well all died .mines went boom). I let it happen twice and messaged asking if it was OK if I spent a little time dismantling the mines. Message back wot mines?. Face palm.
