Gadget REACT Airjab Launcher

Airjab Launcher

Shoots proximity mines, knocking back enemies caught in the blast. Also clears the area of hazards.

A Medium Armored Operator, Nomad is equipped with an Airjab launcher which can shoot out up to three "Airjab" repulsion grenades that will stick to any surface she shoots at and knock back all enemies and hazards in its effective radius when triggered.

At Operator level 2, the Airjab's mine count is increased to four. At Operator level 7, the Airjab will instantly kill all Tier 1 and Tier 2 enemies. Finally at Operator level 10, the Airjab's mine count is increased to six.

  • Nomad's "Airjab" repulsion grenades shoot from a grenade launcher attached to her primary weapon. When she switches to the launcher, a yellow laser sight turns on and becomes visible in the air. This laser sight can be traced back to its source.
  • Switching between her Airjab launcher and primary fire is quick.
  • When deployed, the Airjab will stick to the surface it is on and become a small device with a bright yellow light. Nomad can see its range indicated as a circle 3 meters in radius immediately after deployment.
  • The Airjab has a small delay of 1 second between when it sticks to a surface as a mine and when it can trigger.
  • The Airjab is exclusively proximity triggered.
  • The Airjab pushes all enemies in range back a small distance (2 meters) and knocks them down for a few seconds. Destructible objects, including destructible walls, in the way of the flying enemy are broken.
  • Explosions from Nomad's Airjab destroy open fuel pods and fuel cells during the MIA Rescue objective.
