Crashbeam is an equipment item in Heat Signature.

Description[ | ]

Turns off turrets, shields, and any electronic guard kit, even through walls. Hold down the button to aim, release to crash. Only uses up a charge if successful.

Tactics[ | ]

  • Crashbeams disable shielded guards' protection, leaving them helpless.
  • Crashed guards cannot sound the alarm.
  • Crashbeams will disable most guards' gadgets, such as Glitch Dash and Heat Sensor (with the exception of Explosives).
  • Crashbeams disable the special abilities of most Contractors, with the exception of the Defender. (The Defender's own shield will be disabled, however.)
  • Crashed doors are temporarily disabled, remaining open or closed. Try block the path of a fleeing target with a shut door, or forcing a door open to take some opportunistic shots.
  • Forcefields that replace broken windows can be crashed, depressurizing the room again.
