Illustration of a male operator in a black riot helmet with its visor raised and a black fabric face mask, wearing a black plate carrier with gold reflective bands on the sleeves, pressing a battery against a reinforced concrete wall — Original illustrationOur own composition of the operator, drawn from the character art the publisher publishes for him: the black riot helmet with its visor raised, the large ear cups, the black fabric face mask, the olive neck gaiter, and the black plate carrier with the gold reflective bands on the sleeves. The reinforced wall and the flying sparks are our own scene rather than a location in the game. This is drawn artwork, not a screenshot of the actual game, and not a photograph of a real person.

The Unique Ability

Shock Wire is this operator's unique ability. What it does, as the publisher describes it:

Bandit carries the CED-1, which the publisher's page names the Shock Wire. Placed on a reinforced wall it electrifies the surface, and that is the whole of the ability: the publisher describes the operator as a secure, anti-hard-breacher who denies entry points and defends the objective while on the move.

The batteries are not restricted to walls. The publisher records that one can also go on a deployable shield or on barbed wire, and names barbed wire and a nitro cell as the operator's two gadget options.

The two official specialties are ANTI-ENTRY and ANTI-GADGET, which between them describe the job the page assigns him: keep the wall standing, and keep the attackers' tools off it.

Loadout

The publisher lists the operator's weapons and gadgets as four groups. Two primary weapons and two secondary weapons are carried as alternatives, and the two gadgets are chosen before the round:

Category	Item
Primary Weapon	MP7 — SUBMACHINE GUN
Primary Weapon	M870 — SHOTGUN
Secondary Weapon	P12 — HANDGUN
Secondary Weapon	Keratos .357 — HANDGUN
Gadget	Barbed Wire
Gadget	Nitro Cell
Unique Ability	Shock Wire

Loadout: the publisher's own operator page, read October 12, 2026. A weapon's type is the publisher's own label for it. Where the publisher lists no type beside an item, none is shown rather than one being supplied.

Gameplay Tips

The publisher's operator page carries its own set of notes for this operator. They are summarised here in our own words; the source text is linked at the foot of the page.

Protect the batteries first. Attackers try to remove the batteries before the round settles. The publisher's advice is to watch for Twitch drones during the preparation phase, and once the round has started to keep count of the EMPs and drones the attacking team has spent, so a destroyed battery can be replaced before it matters.
Batteries work on more than walls. Reinforced walls are the default placement, but the publisher also puts them on deployable shields and on barbed wire. The shield placement is named as a counter to shield-carrying attackers and the wire placement as a way to stop drones, and the page names a battery on a Mira window as a combination worth using.
Listen for the zap. Anything that touches an electrified surface makes an audible zap. The publisher's guidance is to remember where the batteries are, because that sound is the cue that something has come into contact with the wall.
Move them rather than lose them. When Thatcher or a Twitch drone is closing in, or the floor above starts to open, the publisher's advice is to move the batteries instead of losing them — a battery saved is one that can be spent somewhere else later.
The placement the page calls the Bandit trick. The publisher's own name for the advanced play: place a battery on the wall immediately after Thermite or Hibana has attached a hard-breaching charge, which stops the charge before it goes off. The page notes it is hard for the attackers to answer without forcing the defender to move.

The Record Fields

The publisher publishes a biography for each operator, and this page carries its record fields — real name, date of birth and place of birth — in the table at the top. The publisher's page carries a written biography and a psychological report beside these record fields. They are the publisher's own narrative text, so this page carries the record fields and links to the source for the rest.

Update Rule

Abilities and ratings change with balance patches, and this page tracks the publisher's own operator page rather than trying to keep pace with every adjustment. The date at the top records when that page was read, not when the game last changed. If a value here disagrees with the publisher's page, the publisher's value is correct and this page is out of date.
