Crashbeam

"If it took three years to make it, it takes one click to break it"

 is an equipment item in Heat Signature.

Description
Turns off turrets, shields, and any electronic guard kit, even through walls. Hold down the button to aim, release to crash. Only uses up a charge if successful.

Tactics

 * Crashbeams disable shielded guards' protection, leaving them helpless.
 * Crashed guards cannot sound the alarm.
 * Crashed doors are temporarily disabled, remaining open or closed. Try block the path of a fleeing target with a shut door, or forcing a door open to take some opportunistic shots.
 * Forcefields that replace broken windows can be crashed, depressurizing the room again.
