Your device, the WHEEL projection system, is a wheel that moves in a straight line and releases small spotlights before self-destructing after a period of time. The spotlights create a light barrier that blocks others’ vision, allowing for quite versatile play with Sens. As an agent, he has low speed and high health, and uses either the new POF-9 or 417, and a 9MM SDP or GONNE-6 as a secondary weapon.
In addition to Sens, with the launch of the season will also come a new exclusive map Team Deathmatch: Close Combat mode.

Before this happens, you will receive two warnings and the penalty will disappear after playing several games without injuring anyone in your team.

I’ve traveled to worlds you’d never believe, ended up with enemies that elude all mysticism. I felt my pulse quicken with each battle, and the sigh of someone who knows they will have to get back up. There’s always a villain waiting and an adventure just around the corner.
