  • The first player to enter the camera view can shoot the EMP bursts. Unlike Operators’ unique abilities, no one has singular ownership over the use of the camera.

  • A drone counter is exclusively displayed to Defenders to help them track the number of regular drones their team has destroyed or captured.

  • This is intended to incentivize Defenders to be aware of the importance of destroying drones, especially in a context where eliminated players can still use them.

  • This counter is not meant to reveal extra intel to Defenders. It reflects Defenders’ actions and only takes regular drones into account.

  • 3-armor operators have 125 HP.

  • 2-armor operators have 110 HP.

  • 1-armor operators have 100 HP.

  • Picking up an Armor Plate will buff an Operator’s maximum HP by 20 until the end of the round.
