“YOU CAN STOP SHOUTING “GRENADE” NOW, I GOT US COVERED”
- JÄGER
Please keep in mind that operators are a work in progress, and information is still subject to change by launch.
A veteran of GSG9 anti-piracy ops in the Indian Ocean, Marius Streicher has seen action as a helicopter operator and technology advisor. He can secure areas against airborne explosives using his active defense system or "Magpie", capable of neutralizing any projectiles on approach.
Jäger provides extra protection to his teammate in the siege by preventing some grenades from detonating in the room. The "Magpie" can be placed on walls or floors, make sure to place them according to your needs: on a wall, it provides better support by having a clear view, but the chance of the "Magpie" being disabled by the enemies is increased. It's always a good idea, however, to place them on a wall, next to a door frame to prevent any projectiles from entering the room or to place them right next to a jamming device in order to protect them from remote detonated devices. Remember, the enemies can lose the round if they kill the hostage. It may be to your advantage to leave the hostage vulnerable to grenade attacks, rather than deploy one of your "Magpies" near the objective.
Also, enemies can throw a "decoy" grenade (like a stun grenade) to atrigger an Active Defense System, then throw a frag grenade or other projectile: it's wise to use two Trophy Systems next to each other’s to counter this kind of attack.
Active defense systems have been successfully used on ships and tanks for the last decade to destroy incoming explosive projectiles. Typically weighing over a hundred kilograms, such systems have been unusable by troops who need systems that are portable or suited for rapid deployment. Using the most advanced military-grade components and material available, the “Magpie” blends the best miniaturization, defense and engineering technology.
