Catalyst

Piercing Spikes

Throw out a patch of ferrofluid which turns into spikes when enemies are near.

• ›Has 2 charges. Can create a maximum of 2 patches. Catalyst can pick up the patch to regain a charge, so long as the patch hasn't been activated.
• ›Holding Tactical button delays the launch. Melee cancels the launch.
• ›Creates a 2m x 11m patch perpendicular to the point of view.
• ›Patch can travel under closed doors.
• ›Catalyst can pick up her spikes and get a charge refund, as long as no enemy player got inside the detection range of the spikes.
• ›Can be destroyed by punching the orb 1 time.
• ›Since the Season 30 midseason update, the spikes are taller and harder to jump over, and the thrown projectile damages enemies it hits.
• ›Placing it into a valid doorway automatically reinforces or rebuilds the door.
• ›Catalyst is no longer immune to another Catalyst's spikes.

Barricade

Reinforce doors, strengthening them and locking them to enemies. Spaces where doors have been destroyed can also be reinforced.

• ›Hold the "alternative action" button near doorways for 0.5s to reinforce either existing doorpanes, or build a ferro-barrier if doorpanes are gone.
• ›Can reinforce up to 2 doorways at a time; if a new barricade is created, the last barricade will disappear.
• ›Reinforced doors take 4 melee hits to destroy; ferro-barriers take 2 melee hits to destroy.
• ›Doors can still be operated by Catalyst and her teammates, but not by enemy squads.
• ›The ferro-barrier can be broken by Catalyst and her teammates by pressing "interaction" key; Catalyst will need to rebuild the ferro-barrier if needed.
• ›Abilities still damage doors/ferro-barriers as normal.
