Tactical Q/LB/L1/LB
Whistler
Description Shoots a projectile that heats up an enemy's gun as they shoot. Overheating causes damage. Hold the tactical to lock-on.
Cooldown 25 seconds

  • Lock on time is 0.1s
  • Deals 15 impact damage.
  • Applies the "Overheat" effect.
    • Effect lasts 8 seconds, during which time if the victim fires their weapon for too long, they will receive 15 damage and be unable to fire their weapon for 1.2 second. The effect is subsequently removed.
      • The impact damage can knock a player, however the overheat damage will not knock a player; if they have 15 HP or less, they will be reduced to 1 HP.
    • A visible heat meter will be displayed above the affected player, showing how close they are to overheating.
    • The heat meter will fill as the player fires their weapon.
    • After not firing for one second, the heat meter will gradually deplete again.
  • If the Whistler does not hit a target directly, it will temporarily stick to surfaces, creating a visible area-of-effect bubble that will cause the dart to hit an enemy if they get too close.
    • The bubble is visible through walls, but a player will only be affected by the dart if they enter the bubble while in line-of-sight of the dart.
    • If a player is hit by the bubble instead of being directly hit, they will receive 10 damage instead of 15. The overheat effect will still apply as normal.
  • Holding the Tactical button will delay the launch while enabling the auto-reticle; if locked on, reticle will turn from blue to yellow. Melee cancels the launch.
    • Autoaim can be acquired until 75m. If line-of-sight is broken, or goes beyond 75m, the lock will be maintained for another 5 seconds.
    • Once launched, the lock will be maintained; the bullet can make one turn in mid-air.
  • If a victim is locked on by Whistler, they will have a warning banner that say "missile locked."
  • Whistler can be used at the same time as other actions: firing, reloading, healing, etc.

  • Whistler can be used as a short-term deterrent for a localized area. Its damage is minimal, but if you fire a whistler dart at a doorframe it will be visible and serve as a moderate short-term deterrent against people going through that door.
  • As it is a left hand cast, as soon as you start some healing process, press and hold tactical to protect yourself in the off chance enemies come by.

Sling
Description Store a third weapon in the sling. Access either via inventory or Character Utility Action. The sling weapon cannot take attachments.
?

  • The weapon in the sling will be automatically equipped with all common atattchments when picked up at the start of a game. When a legend upgrades their evo the attachments on the Sling weapon will scale with it.
    • Eg a Player with a Level 2 Evo Shield will gain Level 2 attachements on their Sling weapon
  • The weapon in the sling can be swapped out with one of the two primary weapons via the inventory screen.
  • Supply Drop Weapons and any tier Fully Kitted Weapons can be stored in the sling in Battle Royale.
  • Rare, epic and Mythic tier Fully Kitted Weapons can be taken in the sling and retain their level in Control and Team Deathmatch Mode.

  • You can use the sling to store a weapon for teammate, allowing you to either store a gun for a to-be-respawned teammate, or just be a mule for a teammate who is looking for a particular gun. Store relevant attachments in inventory.
  • Note that you will also have to carry ammo for the sling weapon. Alternatively, pick guns that utilize the same ammo type as your primary-secondary.
  • Decide whether you want to pick the sling weapon for general use (as a backup), or one that will benefit the most from Tempest.
    • For the former, shotguns are often a good choice, as their damage potential is often substantial without attachments, and all benefit quite strongly from the Shotgun Bolt.
    • For the latter, it's best to carry a weapon that requires hop ups, has charge up mechanics, or generally benefits from being fully kitted, e.g. the Rampage LMG, HAVOC Rifle, EVA-8 Auto or RE-45 Auto.
      • Most automatic weapons are limited without attachments, due to recoil or low magazine sizes. LMGs tend to have a slow ready speed and ADS movement speed.
    • Snipers are considered a bad choice, as it is difficult to utilize them as a back up weapon without attachments (especially Optics, and Tempest is best used when pushing enemies.
  • If you find yourself using Snipers only occasionally but still feel the need to reach that range in the off-chance, Vantage can be better than Ballistic as a "Three-weapon Legend". Aside from ensuring you will have two good kitted guns, Vantage has good movement capability, and her ultimate doesn't require storage of sniper bullets.

Tempest
Description When activated, nearby teammates get faster reloads, faster armed move speed, and infinite ammo. Ballistic's sling weapon will be equipped and upgraded to legendary.

  • The weapon in the sling will automatically be upgraded to Legendary with Legendary Attachments regardless of the level of the Evo Shield the player has
  • Affects teammates within a radius of 90 meters. Once they gain the autoloader effect, they can move beyond the radius while retaining the effect.

  • The sling weapon cannot be swapped to regular slot, nor disposed of, during the duration of the ultimate.
