Abilities[/h2][h3]Special Ability: Disguise[/h3][p]Take on the appearance (in the HUD) of the enemy closest to the center of your view, or a random enemy if none are visible. You can’t activate Disguise if an enemy is Aware of you. Attacking or taking any damage breaks your Disguise. Getting a kill with no enemy witnesses within 6 seconds of breaking Disguise resets the cooldown. While Disguise is active, your missile lock range and angles are reduced, and missile lock time is increased, but your missile lock will not trigger a warning for your targeted enemy.[/p][p]Cooldown: 40/30/20s[/p][p][/p][h3]Passive Ability: Backstab[/h3][p]Missile attacks from behind your target and within 1000m gain a 5% damage bonus.[/p][p]Damage Bonus: 5/10/15/20/25%[/p][h2]
