Kinetic mine
From DoomWiki.org
The kinetic mine is a multiplayer-only equipment item and weapon initially added to Doom (2016) as part of the Unto the Evil downloadable content pack. It is a form of bounding mine with a beam-based tripwire. By throwing it onto a floor or wall, the player can do damage to unsuspecting opponents who later run by the device. Other targets may also be caught in the ensuing blast.
"A proximity mine that can attach to most surfaces. When triggered, it launches toward its target and detonates."
