ALL PLATFORMS

AGENT UPDATES

VETO IS HERE

Senegalese enforcer Veto brings a new dynamic to combat, empowered by an unstoppable DNA mutation. On Veto’s battlefield, opponents’ powers and technology are nullified—gunplay becomes the only reliable strategy.

Abilities:

Chokehold

• Equip a viscous fragment of the mutation.

• Fire to throw; the fragment deploys on impact, creating a trap that holds enemies in place.

• Held enemies are Deafened and Decayed.

• Enemies can destroy the trap before activation.

Crosscut

• Equip a vortex.

• Fire to place on the ground. While in range and looking at the vortex, reactivate to teleport to it.

• During the Buy Phase, the vortex can be reclaimed for redeployment.

Interceptor

• Equip the Interceptor.

• Fire to place it at the projected location. Once placed, reactivate to activate.

• Once active, it destroys any utility that would bounce off a player or be destroyed by gunfire.

• Enemies can destroy the Interceptor.

Evolution

• Instantly begin full mutation, gaining a combat stim, regeneration, and immunity to all debuffs.

More details on Veto are available on the Agents Page.

Note: Veto is temporarily disabled in TDM due to a bug and will be re-enabled in patch 11.08.
