— In-game description

Aftershock is a basic ability for Breach.

Description[]

Aftershock is a Deterrent ability that Breach has to equip before casting. To cast, Breach must take aim at a wall using a custom crosshair. This crosshair will turn yellow if it is placed on a viable position to be cast in, and will turn red if it is placed on a position where the charge cannot pass through to the other side. On activation, Breach will fire a charge that travels from his location to the targeted position on the wall, then through the section of wall until it reaches the other side.

Once the charge reaches the other side of the wall it will begin to windup, creating a cylindrical area of effect in front of the wall. Any player within this area will have warning VFX appear on their screen. After completing its windup the charge will detonate, firing multiple bursts in the area that deal damage to anything they hit. Aftershock has no damage falloff.
