The Oxidizer canister releases a cloud of corrosive gas that damages enemy armor, skill proxies and causes damage over time.
Tips[]
The Reinforcer fires a projectile that detonates and disperses an armor repairing cloud. If this powder hits you or your teammates, it restores an amount of your armor. Powder that sticks on the ground grants armor restoration over time. You have the ability to heal your friends very fast, or even yourself over time.
The Reinforcer can even be used by the Agent similarly as the First Aid, by dropping the Reinforcer in their vicinity to heal themselves and regenerate their armor. The Reinforcer variant uses green-colored canisters.
The Firestarter canister sends out flammable, near-invisible gas. These gas clouds can be ignited with any spark—bullet impacts, enemies firing their weapons inside the cloud, explosions or even enemies running into them while on fire. If you combine multiple clouds over a large area, you can create devastating chain reactions.
The Firestarter variant uses red-colored canisters (though the gas cloud is clear when launched).
The Riot Foam fires a canister with riot control foam that disperses on impact. The foam is sticky, heavy, and it expands rapidly. Anyone affected by the foam is stuck in place for a period of time, but the hardened foam can be destroyed to break them free.
The Riot Foam variant uses dark beige-colored canisters.
The Oxidizer fires a canister that emits a cloud of corrosive chemicals. The chemical cloud lingers for a long time and efficiently eats away at the armor and health of enemies caught within its radius, as well as damage devices such as health stations, turrets, and drones.
The Oxidizer can be used to reliably damage enemies that are behind cover, as well as push them out of it, and can be devastating when fired at enemy spawn points. It can also be used to great effect against Rusher and Tank archetypes, due to the predictability of the former's movements and the slow and sluggishness of the latter's. The Oxidizer variant uses purple-colored canisters.
