Key Noor facts (Y11S3)

Noor released with Operation Split Fire; Ubisoft: the Horus Lance 'can fire 5 projectiles that pierce shields and destructible surfaces before erupting into flames', works through floors, ceilings and adjacent rooms, and gives area and plant denial. (since Y11S3 (patch 11.3.0, Sep 1 2026))
5 lances per round with a 2-lance magazine; a lance through a breakable or reinforced surface flames both sides, a lance in a frame or unbreakable wall flames one side; flames hurt both teams; a direct hit does 50 damage. (since Y11S3)
Against a handheld shield the lance burrows through and burns the holder from behind; he must stop, swing the shield aside and pull it out (exposed) or burn to death. Works on Montagne's extended Le Roc, Blitz, Fuze and Blackbeard's shields, Osa's Talon-8 (shatters it) and Clash's CCE. (since Y11S3)
Plant denial: flames over the plant spot stop the defuser animation, and a lance through the floor or wall beside the plant covers it. (since Y11S3)
Lances can be destroyed by explosives and Maverick's torch; a lance can destroy Ram's BU-GI. (since Y11S3)
