Brava's gadget: Kludge Drone
Two hacking drones that, within range (no line of sight needed), destroy some defender gadgets (Bandit, Kaid, Smoke, C4, Thunderbird) and turn others (cameras, Mute jammers, ADS, Mag-NET, Evil Eye, Banshee, Surya Gate, Kapkan, Ela, Yokai, Pests...) to the attackers' side.

Brava myths
- Brava breaks Mira's Black Mirror. Black Mirror is not a hackable gadget.
- Melusi hard-counters Brava / Aruni hard-counters Brava. Both Banshee and Surya Gate are on Brava's convert list: Brava counters them, not the reverse.
- Brava beats Mute (one-way). Contested both ways: she can hack a jammer she sees first, but an unseen jammer kills the Kludge. Neither is a hard counter.
- Brava beats Maestro is wrong. TRUE claim: she can hack and control the Evil Eye.
Key Brava facts (Y11S3)
- Destroys Bandit's Shock Wire, Kaid's Electroclaw, Smoke's canisters, C4, Thunderbird's Kóna and deactivated Fenrir mines on a hack. (since Y8S1 (Commanding Force))
- Converts Mute's Signal Disruptor (then it jams defender gadgets), Jäger ADS, Wamai Mag-NET, Maestro's Evil Eye (Brava gets full control), Melusi's Banshee, Aruni's Surya Gate, Echo's Yokai, Kapkan EDD, Ela mines, Thorn shells, Valkyrie cams, Alibi Prismas, Mozzie Pests. (since Y8S1)
- Mira's Black Mirror is not on the hack list: the Kludge cannot break a Black Mirror. (since Y8S1)
- Mute's jammer stops the Kludge if it drives into the radius out of the drone's line of sight; the Kludge can hack the jammer if it gets the hack off first. (since Y8S1)
- Mozzie can capture a Kludge and use it against attacker gadgets; Solis's SPEC-IO pings the Kludge. (since Y8S1 / Y9S3)
- Ubisoft's Denari guide says drone work from Twitch or Brava can safely dismantle Denari's T.R.I.P. laser grid. (since Y10S3 (High Stakes))
- At Y8S1 launch the Kludge overloaded (deactivated) Aruni's Surya Gate instead of converting it, as a temporary fix. (since Y8S1 addendum)
