Spycam

"EQUIP a spycam. FIRE to place the spycam at the targeted location. RE-USE this ability to take control of the camera's view. While in control of the camera, FIRE to shoot a marking dart. This dart will reveal the location of any player struck by the dart."

- In-game description  is a signature ability for Cypher.

Description
is an Intel ability that Cypher has to equip before casting. Once equipped, his crosshair will be replaced with an indicator for placing a spycam. This will turn blue if it is placed on a viable position to be cast in, and will turn red for unviable positions. A viable position must be a wall with enough verticality, though the camera cannot be placed over a certain distance above any horizontal levels. Cypher must also be within a certain distance of the target location to cast the ability. Upon casting, the spycam will travel to the location and briefly deploy, turning invisible once this process is complete. The camera can be recalled but will go on a short cooldown before it can be redeployed.

Once deployed, Cypher can use the ability to take control of the camera, causing it to reveal itself. His body will remain still in a channeling position whilst using the camera, leaving himself vulnerable to enemy gunfire and utility. The camera provides vision of anything in front of it and can be rotated within the range of a hemisphere. Whenever re-used, the camera will always be looking the direction Cypher was previously looking in when he unequipped the ability. If Cypher's body takes damage whilst he is in control of Spycam, the ability will be unequipped.

Whilst using Spycam, Cypher can aim at enemy agents and fire to shoot marking darts at them. If a dart hits an enemy it will embed itself into them, periodically revealing their location with flashes of yellow outlines. To end this effect, the victim must channel for a few seconds to remove the dart.

Enemies can destroy the camera by dealing any damage to it with weapons or some damaging abilities. Enemies do not have to have sight of the camera for it to be destroyed by damage. Cypher will be alerted if his camera destroyed.

If Cypher is killed during the round, the spycam will deactivate and reveal its position.
