Crashbeam 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.
- Crashbeams will disable most guards' gadgets, such as Glitch Dash and Heat Sensor (with the exception of Explosives).
- Crashbeams disable the special abilities of most Contractors, with the exception of the Defender. (The Defender's own shield will be disabled, however.)
- 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.
