For capture point modes, Specialists with area-of-denial/AOE abilities will find numerous ideal use-cases for them.
Specialist selection relies on game mode, player ability, and team composition. If an enemy stumbles into it by mistake, there’s a strong chance it will result in a kill before they can escape. While throwing it in front of a thin passage seems the most obvious play, it’s also lethal around tight corners where enemies may not anticipate placement. Razor Wire can be destroyed, but is remarkably resilient and can take a few clips of steady fire. That being said, neither are overpowered, and mindful enemies will spot them from a distance and figure out routes to avoid them. Notes: Torque’s ability and equipment thwarts enemy movement and can be surprisingly effective when placed around corners or in frequented doorways.Equipment: Razor Wire – A spiral of razor wire which can be positioned anywhere on the ground, slowing and damaging enemies who cross it.Ability: Barricade – A blockade which provides oversized movable cover to teammates that also causes AOE damage and slowdown to nearby enemies.Still, beyond its applications in capture point modes, they can also be an effective Hail Mary play – when low on health and being chased by an enemy player, quickly dropping a Seeker while running can turn the tables, providing ample time to escape or retaliate. Late-game players tend to be savvier on the equipment’s callout and may anticipate this, and even shocked enemies can kill if you happen to be in their straight-firing path. There’s a catch, though: Seekers don’t prevent the enemy from firing their weapon straight ahead, and a quick-time event allows them to defuse it, within a small window.
If the enemy team is turtling up on the point, dropping his quick-charging equipment allows players a few precious seconds to stroll in and complete the kill. Notes: Prophet is an excellent early-game Specialist, and his abilities are easy to understand and devastating in certain scenarios.Equipment: Seeker Shock Mine – The most dangerous Roomba ever invented, this rolling drone paralyzes any enemies it encounters, though it doesn’t kill them outright.Ability: Tempest – A sniper rifle which fires shock rounds, incapacitating enemies and forcing them to crawl on the floor temporarily.
