— In-game description
|
Flashpoint is a Blind ability that Breach has to equip before casting. While equipped, his crosshair will be replaced with an indicator to place a blinding 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 briefly windup before detonating. Any agent or object in line of sight of the detonation will then be flashed.
