Overview
The Cloaking Device is a Light Build specialization that has an emphasis on aggression. This specialization pairs well ranged weapons such as the XP-54 as its weaknesses of visibility and audibility are offset by the range you can play at.
Interactions
- Upon activation, the user becomes cloaked, becoming nearly invisible for up to 12 seconds.
- The activation cost is 33% of your cloak meter, however this does not affect the initial 12 seconds with a full cloak meter.
- The minimum required charge time to activate is 4 seconds.
- Enemies will only be able to see a translucent form of you while moving, making it hard for them to see you, but not impossible.
- Activating the ability makes a unique sound that all nearby contestants can hear, and this sound persists if you are moving while invisibility is active.
- Standing still will make the user completely invisible, and no audio queues will play.
- Attacking, taking damage, or activating other abilities will uncloak the user.
- If the user uncloaks before the 12 seconds are up, the ability will still be available to use for the remainder of the time.
- After uncloaking, the Cloaking Device slowly recharges and may be used again at any time, even if the full 12 seconds have not been recharged.
Strengths and Weaknesses
- The Cloaking Device can be very useful to flank enemy teams and escape unfavorable encounters.
- Choosing this specialization in a loadout excludes the user from picking other more versatile specializations, and can leave the user without many options for mobility compared to other Light Builds.
