Thoughts on a deployable that is able to stop an explosive from blowing you/your team up?
What: deployable that stops 1 explosive near it
Similar: “trophy system” from the cod series, real life https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trophy_(countermeasure)
quote “military active protection system (APS) for vehicles. It intercepts and destroys incoming missiles and rockets with a shotgun-like blast”
Ingame: Deploy to stop a frag from wiping out your team while a medic can revive or do an objective.
Why: countering a frag from killing your team while holding a position/doing the objective
Balance: similar to Auras healing station, needs a second to activate. Low range, with a recharge time or one time use
Synergy: protect aura station, protect your medic/defuser/planter, holding an important corner
Merc: 110hp, assault support merc, like skyhammer but instead of an airstrike/grenade this deployable. Also could use an indoors merc with ammo, the current ones have support abilities that are less/completely useless indoors.
