Spontaneous Death Perimeter Station
I was upstairs inside a large grey warehouse building. There was a separated room with a red uesc explosive on one side of the entrance. I went around the entrance to the other side, looted some stuff and then I just died instantly. I can't tell what happened. No body bags just a tool cart. In the end screen it says 140 dmg was dealt, and the reason is a skull and next to it a horizontal rectangle with two plus signs in it and several horizontal lines above it. Was this a claymore? If so there was zero indication, I was being slow and cautious after seeing the other explosive.

Hello there,
Thank you for your report.
That sounds like it was probably a claymore or another UESC explosive/trap, but if there was truly no visible warning at all, it could also be a real Perimeter bug rather than you just missing something.
Claymores are an actual Marathon hazard: they are directional mines that detect enemies in front of them, then detonate after a short delay. They are also used in Perimeter’s UESC spaces, including warehouse/depot-style areas, so the location you described absolutely fits the kind of place one could be set up.
That said, there are already tracked issues where claymores can behave badly, including damaging players through walls, and there are also separate Perimeter reports of specific spots causing instant death for no obvious reason. So if you were moving carefully, saw the obvious explosive on one side, went around the doorway, and then just died with no clear indication of what got you, that does not sound impossible as a bug.
It could have been a claymore, but “no warning and instant death in Perimeter Station” is also close enough to known bug behavior that your report is fair. If you are able to record a video, you can upload it to a site like Youtube, link it to us here, and we'll be glad to take a closer look.
