— In-game description

Sky Smoke is a signature ability for Brimstone.
Description[]
Sky Smoke is a Vision Blocker ability that Brimstone has to equip before casting. Upon doing so, a tactical display of the map he is on will appear. This display is centered on Brimstone's location and will adjust as he moves but it has a maximum radius and will not display the entire map. Once the display is set up, Brimstone can select a location to place a circular marker, showing where a smoke will land and how much of an area it will cover at most.
Once Brimstone confirms the locations of his smokes, they will begin to deploy from the sky for a short amount of time. During this time, all players will see a visual indicator of the position the smoke will land in and hear an audio cue. Upon landing, a smoke will rapidly expand. Vision within the smoke is obscured. The smoke will play audio and visual cues shortly before it is about to expire. Once it expires, the smoke will instantly dissipate.
