Gameplay Description

A Medium Armored Operator, Castle is equipped with his Universal Tactical Panels. These special barricades can be deployed on any door or window frame.

• Castle carries three Armor Panels, which he can deploy in place of a normal wooden barricade for doorways and windows. The Armor Panels are completely bulletproof and are far tougher than normal barricades.

• Castle's Armor Panels can be destroyed manually if hit with a melee attack 12 times.
• This property can be used to anyone's advantage. By pre-hitting the Armor Panels 11 times, an Operator can then destroy it with one melee attack, giving a surprise to enemies behind it. If a Defender has any Impact Grenades on them, they can use them to instantly destroy his Armor Panels as well for the same tactic.
• Operators cannot break holes in Armor Panels easily, restricting them from looking through any holes made.

• Armor Panels take increased time for Defenders to pull off.

• Any Armor Panel taken down by Defenders restores another one for Castle.

• Like normal Barricades, Armor Panels placed on doorways are not fully enclosed at the bottom.
• Like Reinforcements, shooting the actual Panel whilst it's being deployed will still block the bullets.

Counters

• Armor Panels are bullet-proof, not explosive-proof. Breach Charges and Frag Grenades can take down these barricades with ease.

• Sledge's Breaching Hammer and Ash's Breaching Rounds can also destroy them with ease.

• Some weapons and gadgets can penetrate the Armor Panels:

• Glaz's OTs-03 is able to penetrate through the Armored Panels, and well as completely destroy one in 12 shots.
• Fuze's Cluster Charges can be deployed on Armor Panels and will punch out a rather sizable hole on the Armor Panel after being detonated.
• Like Fuze, Ying's Candelas can also be deployed on Armor Panels, but the hole created is much smaller.
• The 707th SMB's BOSG.12.2 can shoot out one layer out of the three layers that make up an Armor Panel. They can create a peek hole by shooting out all three layers. With enough damage, they can even completely destroy an Armor Panel.

"Sets bulletproof barricades, more resistant than standard ones."
— UTP1-Universal Tactical Panel Description

Working with FBI SWAT, Campbell was in the middle of a hostage extraction when he became cornered in a small outbuilding. The dilapidated structure lacked a door. Utilizing what was available to him, Campbell fashioned a crude blockade with a discarded blanket and a staple gun he found in the shed. This allowed him to limit the line of sight to the building and remain concealed until backup took out the pursuing hostiles. This experience inspired the creation of the UTP1-Universal Tactical Panel, a lightweight barricade that has been successfully utilized in FBI SWAT operations since its implementation in 2013.
