The [[Motion Sensor]] is a [[Heavy]] class mounted gadget that continuously reveals the location of opponents in its line of sight to the user's team.


== Overview ==
== Effects ==
Motion Sensor is an exclusive [[Heavy|Heavy Build]] gadget that can be thrown down anywhere and will highlight enemies if they are within the sensor's range. It can be destroyed if enough damage is dealt to it.


== Uses & Interactions ==
The Motion Sensor can be deployed with a small throw to attach it to a nearby surface. Whenever a contestant comes close, the Motion Sensor will detect them, revealing their location to the user's team as long as they remain in range.
The Motion Sensor is a gadget that can be used to gain an information advantage over enemy contestants because of its ability to reveal them through walls. It can also be used to counter the Light Build's Cloaking Device, as it can reveal them while invisible.


The main downside of this gadget is that it can be destroyed by opponents if spotted, so careful placement is key.
The user's team can see the opponent in the form of particles in the shape of their body in the color of their team, which are visible regardless of distance or any surfaces between the target and the viewer.

Three Motion Sensors can exist at the same time.
The target has a warning on their screen that they are detected, and a visual effect shows a line from the target to the gadget to let them know where it is.
 
== Usage ==
 
The Motion Sensor can be selected as one of three [[Gadgets|gadgets]] of any [[Medium]] build loadout.
 
The primary trigger can be used to toss the gadget a small distance. It will attach to the first surface it contacts and will start working immediately.
 
The gadget can also be retrieved to restore a charge, by interacting with it for a few moments while looking at it from up close.

The Motion Sensor is a Heavy class mounted gadget that continuously reveals the location of opponents in its line of sight to the user's team.

Effects

The Motion Sensor can be deployed with a small throw to attach it to a nearby surface. Whenever a contestant comes close, the Motion Sensor will detect them, revealing their location to the user's team as long as they remain in range.

The user's team can see the opponent in the form of particles in the shape of their body in the color of their team, which are visible regardless of distance or any surfaces between the target and the viewer.

The target has a warning on their screen that they are detected, and a visual effect shows a line from the target to the gadget to let them know where it is.

Usage

The Motion Sensor can be selected as one of three gadgets of any Medium build loadout.

The primary trigger can be used to toss the gadget a small distance. It will attach to the first surface it contacts and will start working immediately.

The gadget can also be retrieved to restore a charge, by interacting with it for a few moments while looking at it from up close.

Strategy

Strengths

  • The Motion Sensor can protect the user's team by covering sightlines that they are not holding at the moment.

Weaknesses

  • If placed in a location where it is easily noticeable from a distance, the Motion Sensor can be shot down before being able to detect the opponent.
  • The Motion Sensor can be disabled by a nearby Glitch Grenade or Glitch Barrel triggering, or reshaped by the Data Reshaper.

Item Mastery

Item mastery XP can be earned by deploying the Motion Sensor and by detecting nearby opponents with it.

Each time a certain XP threshold is reached, the item levels up. This does not improve the item, but rewards a unique item customization.
