GSK abilities in XDefiant
Here areall of the abilitiesfor the GSK members in XDefiant.
Ultra – Flash Shield
Blitz’s Flash Shield has been given as the Ultra for all GSK members, allowing you to protect yourself whilststunning those you flash.
Your mobility will only slightly be hindered, allowing an offensive and defensive play style for the shield. Note that it doesn’t encompass all of your body.
Activated Ability 1 – ADS
Jäger’s ADS (Active Defence System) is a device that willintercept and eliminate thrown projectilesin a wide area around it. If placed securely, you’ll be able to stop all incoming grenades near you.
It will last for 25 seconds and shoot down as many projectiles as needed in that time.
Activated Ability 2 – Shockwire
Despite not making an appearance, Bandit’s modified batteries have manifested into the Shockwire. This will place down alarge tangle of barbed wire that’s electrocuted, damaging other players who run through it. It can be destroyed through melee.
You will be able to place three of these before a 25-second cooldown.
Passive Trait – No headshot damage
GSK membersdon’t receive bonus damage from headshots. This means that even snipers will require two shots to the head to take them down.
This is thanks to them wearing helmets, a courtesy bestowed only to these helmets, however.
Now that you know everything about the GSK in XDefiant, you’ll be able toplay them with foresight and expertise.
