Key Capitão facts (Y11S3)
- Asphyxiating bolt makes a fire zone of up to 5 m that deals ~36 dps for ~10 s; it damages operators and the hostage, not gadgets. (since Update 4.1.3 rework (Y4S1))
- Micro smoke bolts make a 5 m smoke; Warden sees through it, Glaz's thermal sight sees through it. (since Y1S2)
- Wamai's Mag-NET catches and relocates both bolt types; the bolts are NOT on Jäger's ADS intercept list. (since Y4S4 (Wamai))
- Tachanka's Shumikha fire can cover the smoke area to deny the plant. (since Y5S3 (Tachanka rework))
