Description[]
| “ | EQUIP a fusion charge. FIRE the charge to set a slow-acting burst through the wall. The burst does heavy damage to anyone caught in its area.
— In-game description
|
Aftershock is a Deterrent ability that Breach has to equip before casting. While equipped, his crosshair will be replaced with an indicator to place a fusion charge on terrain. The 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 cast, Breach will fire the charge forward from his location to the targeted position, passing through until it reaches the other side.
Once the charge reaches the other side 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.
