“I MAKE A KILLER ENTRANCE”

  • ASH

Every week we will unveil a new Operator Spotlight - going into detail on the background, inspiration, and gameplay of each operator. Please keep in mind that operators are a work in progress, and information is still subject to change by launch.


PROFILE


Eliza Cohen cut her teeth serving in her native Israel's IDF. She's currently part of FBI SWAT thanks to an international law enforcement exchange program. Cohen brought her knowledge of demolitions with her in producing a weapon-mounted breach charge capable of blowing open a door or wall from a distance.

GAMEPLAY


Ash can fire a remote breach charges to surfaces that would normally be hard or impossible to reach, like higher windows or even ceilings: enemies rarely expect the floor beneath them to blow up so use this to surprise them. Remote breaches will detonate automatically once they get stuck on a wall, meaning that they cannot be affected by a Jamming Device, making them the best way to breach against a team with Mute in its rank. The Remote Breach Launcher is also very useful to destroy a wall from a safe distance if you expect enemy fire. Keep in mind that it is not a rocket launcher and will do reduced damage to players.

By the way: you can try using the Remote Breach to blow up a barricaded window from below and throw in a frag grenade: you'll probably deal a lot of damage to the enemy while remaining safe from enemy fire.

UNIQUE GADGET


The M120 CREM was developed as a portable projectile breaching weapon. Similar to other explosive breaching tools used by American and Israeli armed forces, the M120 CREM is capable of breaching through doors without the need to focus on destroying hinges or locks for entry. Unlike, other explosive breaching methods, the M120 CREM is comparatively portable with its decreased size and weight, allowing it to be carried as a secondary weapon. The M120 CREM has been successfully utilized by FBI SWAT in penetrating fortified compounds during hostage and search and rescue operations.
