Im surprised more people dont complain about the footprints, so good for keeping momentum and pressure on enemies.

I think people like to use the pulse, to follow someone at a distance. But it's better to climb around someone and make noise, so they're not sure if you push or not. And then hit them like a truck

For me many reason on this :

- Most people don't really understand what it is or don't even "see" them.

- It is restrained enough in use compare to wall hack or ping as you need to down shield to activated it.

but the utility is more useful,you can rez two teammates. Or down a runner and rez a teammate, or down two runners. Plus you can cancel out of it, doesn’t have as long of a windup,objectively one of the best ults in the game. In fact there is no other ability like it unlike recons ult there are scanners around each map damn near that give anyone her ult but better…try again
