Description

“	EQUIP the Interceptor. FIRE to place the Interceptor at projected location. Once placed, RE-USE to activate. Once active, it will destroy any utility that would BOUNCE off a player and/or be destroyed naturally by gunfire. Enemies can destroy the Interceptor. — In-game description

Interceptor is a Utility Defense ability that Veto must equip before casting. While equipped, his crosshair will be replaced with an indicator to place an interceptor. The interceptor will be cast a fixed distance forward from Veto's casting position. This distance can be reduced if cast towards terrain, causing the interceptor to deploy at a shorter distance until it is no longer within terrain.

Upon casting, the interceptor will travel rapidly to its location as a missile and winding up briefly before remaining in position indefinitely. The interceptor gives off an audio cue while it waits to be activated that can be heard by enemy agents.

Once activated, the interceptor will instantly seek out any enemy utility to target. The interceptor will target any deployed ability that would bounce off a player or be destroyed by gunfire. The interceptor uses a beam to strike at any viable targets in its line of sight, dealing high damage to them or instantly destroying targets without a health pool. A brief targeting delay is applied in cases where the interceptor has multiple targets available with health pools when switching between them. Other projectiles can be simultaneously destroyed by the interceptor while it is firing its main beam at a target with a health pool.

Enemies can deal damage to the interceptor and destroy it.
