Static Field

Description

The static field shields the wearer from any damage and reflects all incoming projectiles for 1.5 seconds.

Notes

• It is extremely useful if you can drop into the middle of an enemy swarm and turn on the static field.
• If you are lucky, you can save yourself from a rocket launcher and bounce it back at them.
• There's a trick with the static field that allows you to move around, reload and shoot while still deflecting all incoming projectiles like the static field for the same period of time the static field is activated. The trick is that once you activate the static field, you press pause, then you click resume. Once the countdown is over and you've resumed, your static field will still be activated but you can reload, shoot and run around. If you kill someone during this period, you get the "reflection!" kill bonus.
• Static field is a great combination with cooling packs (increase ability charging speed by 30%)
• Great against homing weapons as the homing weapons home on the player with the static field, bounce off the static field and fly back at the person who shot the homing projectile or his/her allies.
• Like the katana, it needs practise to be perfected. Experts with the static field can sense danger and switch it on just before they get killed.
• Extra deadly against explosives and homing weapons. The ice hunter is the worst weapon to confront a static field.
