How Iso works

Choose an opponent to isolate rather than charging through every angle at once.

PRACTICAL GAMEPLAN

What to do during a round

Use Contingency to limit the angles facing you, then pressure the weakened target created by Undercut.

ABILITIES EXPLAINED

Abilities & ultimate

What each ability does and when to use it in a real match.

01Basic

Contingency

Deploy a moving wall that blocks incoming bullets along the line of approach.

02Basic

Undercut

Send a weakening projectile through space to make a target easier to eliminate.

03Signature

Double Tap

Activate a combat-focused protection mechanic that rewards taking well-prepared fights.

04Ultimate

Kill Contract

Pull an opponent into a one-on-one arena isolated from the main combat area.

ULTIMATE GUIDE

When to activate the ultimate

Kill Contract takes a target into a separate duel. Use it when removing a particular defender would open the site for your team.

A common mistake to avoid

Even a defensive shield does not protect against every danger; utility and coordinated crossfires still matter.
