12. Perimeter Security – Wattson

Perimeter Security is electric fences that can be set up with nodes carried by Wattson. They stun enemies and cause electric shock.

Drone EMP discharges an EMP strike which stuns enemies and damages their shields.

Why Drone EMP is Awesome:

It does 50 damage to any enemy shields within its radius.
It stuns enemies and allows your buddies to mow them down while they can’t move. Don’t feel bad. They would have done it too…

9. Beast of the Hunt – Bloodhound

Beast of the Hunt enhances Bloodhound’s senses and increases speed.

Why Beast of the Hunt is Awesome:

It allows you to run way faster than normal. Always better if the hunter is faster than the hunted… unless you’re the prey!

8. Dome of Protection – Gibraltar

Dome of Protection is a shield dome which can be placed by Gibraltar and blocks incoming and outgoing ordnance and bullets.

Why Dome of Protection is Awesome:

It is great for those moments when you just start getting lasered and you wish you could just conjure up a wall around you… Pretty much the same thing.

It lasts for 15 seconds.
The cooldown is 30 seconds after your dome has expired.
Tactical ability.

7. Drone of Compassion – Lifeline

You don’t need to interact with it to get healed. All you have to do is stand near it. Great for lazy folks. I know.
You can heal while fighting and don’t need to take your finger off the trigger. You basically just get a couple of hundred extra hp. No big deal…
It is great for when you need to heal a lot and you don’t have any meds. Why waste meds if you’ve got a D.O.C?

Tactical ability.
The cooldown is 60 seconds.
It lasts for 20 seconds.

Why Care Packages are Awesome:

The cooldown is 6 minutes.
