What loadout does Deimos bring in Operation Deadly Omen?
Deimos will be a 2-Speed and 2-Armor Attacker, who is equipped with weapons suitable for hunting his prey. His special ability is deploying a flying nano-drone called Death Mark Trackers to find targeted Defenders.
These drones can be countered by operators like Mute and Tubarao who can disrupt electrical gadgets. With that said, here are the weapons that will be available with Deimos:
- Primary Weapons: AK-74M (Assault Rifle) and M590A1 (Shotgun).
- Secondary Weapon: .44 Vendetta Revolver (New Pistol)
- Primary Gadget: Death Mark Tracker
- Secondary Gadgets: Hard Breach Charges and Frag Grenades.
Deimos will switch to his secondary weapon when using his main ability. This effect is similar to that of Caveira and can only switch back to normal once the timer runs out.
