Major Abilities
Major abilities are powerful, rechargeable skills selected as part of an operator’s loadout before a match. Each operator has one major ability active per run. All major abilities have a cooldown between charges. Major abilities tend to define playstyle more directly than minor abilities, covering roles such as support, offense, crowd control, and reconnaissance.
For a guide on getting started with loadout selection, see the Beginner Guide.
