SPECIAL ABILITIES
Q – CYBER CAGE
Cyber cage does not harm the enemies. It gets activated with an instant toss by Cypher. This ability creates a zone that helps block the vision of the enemies. Also, your moves are slowed down if you pass through the cage at the same amount. This ability is helpful for distracting enemies.
This equipment is a spycam, showing where your enemies stand. Fire it to activate the spycam at a chosen location. You may also re-use this ability to take charge of the camera’s view. With spycam, you already know precisely where your target is, which helps in an accurate shot that causes damage to the enemies.
E – SPYCAM
C – TRAPWIRE
This equipment is a tripwire. Fire to create a destructible wire attached to your enemies. This wire spans the placed location and the wall opposite it. If you do not destroy the wire on time, the enemy who crosswires will be tethered and dazed only after a short period. The unique quality of this ability is that it can be picked up to be redeployed.
The neutral theft is the most helpful ability of Cypher. When you fire a shot on your dead enemy, the crosshair instantly tells the information about all the nearby enemies. You may use that information to track and destroy your enemies. However, the information is shown only for a few seconds, so you must be quick with your actions.
X – NEURAL THEFT
