Veto: abilities and tips

Key CBasic

Crosscut

200 credits · 2 charges

You place a crosscut on the ground. As long as you are in range and looking at it, you can teleport to it. During the buy phase, you can pick it up to place it elsewhere. It offers a quick rotation or a fallback path on a site.

• Place it early on a retreat or a safe flank, out of the enemy's sight, then keep it for a rotation that surprises.
• Take advantage of the 30 m: you can place it farther from yourself than before and rotate from one site to the other without crossing mid.

Key QBasic

Chokehold

200 credits · 1 charge

You throw a sticky fragment that unfolds on the ground into a trap. It immobilizes enemies caught in it, deafens them and decays their HP. An enemy can destroy the trap before it activates, so it has to be hidden.

• Place it behind a crate or in a corner of a chokepoint, where it is hard to break before it is triggered.
• Place it on a path the enemy runs through: held for 4.5 s, they can be killed in one duel.

Key ESignature

Interceptor

1 free charge per round · 1 charge · Cooldown: 20 s

You place the Interceptor at the targeted spot, then reuse it to activate it. It destroys utility that would bounce off a player or that shots would naturally destroy. An enemy can destroy it.

• Hide it behind cover: an enemy who hears or sees it can shoot it before the execute.
• Activate it right before the enemy execute, not at the start of the round, so it covers the useful duration.

Key XUltimate

Evolution

7 ultimate points

You instantly mutate into a more effective fighter: regeneration, Combat Stim and immunity to debuffs. Your weapon is quicker to equip, to fire and to reload. Standard utility effects (flash, slow, deafen) no longer affect you.

• Save it for a decisive round: post-plant or defuse, when you have to cross fire or utility.
• Combine it with good gunfight positioning: the ultimate improves your weapon, it does not replace your aim.
