Charges into close combat

Abrams has the bulk and sustain to lead from the front, often running into the middle of his foes and watching them scatter. If his enemies waste their fire on him, his backline teammates can lay out damage with impunity.

The movement speed here is the real kicker here. And you can save your lane partner, or help them catch up to secure a kill

Kill isolated targets with escape options more efficiently. Also good in team fights to shut down dangerous abilities. Great against Lash, Calico, Abrams, Dynamo, etc

I'm usually not picking up Bullet Armor, but its nice to have if theyre heavy gun and you have a green slot to spare. (i prefer escalating resilience)

Great pickup against Abrams. Lowers his stun duration from Charge allows for you to parry his HM. And of course against infernus, pocket, etc

Another great choice against burst characters, reload during e-shift. Doesnt take up a precious green/orange slot.
