Key Zero facts (Y11S3)

ARGUS cams drill into any surface including reinforced walls and hatches and view both sides (one side on indestructible surfaces); the feed is shared with all attackers.
Laser destroys Mute jammers (from outside radius), Bandit wires and Kaid claws (if not destroyed on deploy), ADS, Mag-NETs, Valkyrie cams, Yokai, Evil Eyes (open), Black Mirror canisters, Volcán canisters, Pests, Nitro Cells and more.
A cam fired into an electrified surface (Bandit/Kaid) is destroyed.
Cams are projectiles: Jäger's ADS and Wamai's Mag-NETs intercept them.
Inside a Mute jammer the cam is static and cannot fire.
Laser can break the Black Mirror canister when it is in view; a cam through the mirror wall sees the defender side.
Pro presence: played in 1% of all rounds in SiegeGG-tracked matches (time window not stated, likely cumulative, so older operators are favoured). (since siege.gg, read 2026-10-20)
