8-BIT

Fires a burst of beams with a slight spread. Keep the firing lane clear long enough for the burst to connect; an opponent who ducks behind cover can avoid much of a shot that initially looked accurate.

Deploys a booster that increases the damage of friendly Brawlers in its area. Place it where teammates can benefit without being forced into an exposed cluster. Its positioning also matters for Cheat Cartridge and Plugged In.

Teleports 8-Bit to his Damage Booster. Place the booster with a possible return trip in mind, then check that the destination is safe before activating. Its Buffie upgrade also restores the booster to full health and heals 8-Bit.

Fires an aimable barrage that can be activated during a main attack. Line it up with an exposed target or a route the enemy must cross. Its Buffie upgrade lets these projectiles bounce to nearby enemies, adding pressure against clustered opponents.

Increases the Damage Booster's area and its damage bonus. Choose it to support teammates fighting from different nearby angles. Its Buffie upgrade also makes the booster periodically produce ammunition pickups; do not expose yourself just to collect one.

Increases 8-Bit's movement speed near his Damage Booster. Use that mobility to adjust firing angles and return toward cover rather than standing still beside the structure. With its Buffie upgrade, the booster also increases nearby teammates' movement speed.

Gives the damage booster a laser that attacks nearby enemies. It can contribute offensive pressure as well as supporting teammates, but remains a placed object whose location and survival determine its value.

Increases damage while the Brawler is below half health. The extra pressure is conditional, not a reason to remain in a losing exchange.

Reduces the wait between Gadget uses. Choose it when repeated access to the selected Gadget meaningfully supports the fight.

Improves health recovery. Leave enough room for natural recovery to begin instead of expecting the Gear to erase damage during continued attacks.

Adds a consumable shield that recovers while the Brawler is at full health. Preserve recovery time between fights to restore the extra protection.

Increases movement speed in bushes. Its value depends on having useful bush routes rather than simply equipping it on an open map.

Briefly reveals hidden opponents after you damage them. It helps track targets entering bushes, but does not reveal invisibility granted by abilities.
