Arsenal
Weapons
"The Arbitrator is a brutal two-shot shotgun."
Anvil is equipped with a shotgun and a light machine gun. The Arbitrator is the most damaging shotgun and can down an enemy with 1 headshot or 2 body shots. Arbitrator mag size has only 2 bullets and does not have an upgrade that allows for additional bullets. This is because it is a double barrel shotgun. It also has a slow reload time, which makes it important that the gun is upgraded for a faster reload.
"The MLX Maw is a devastating light machine gun."
The MLX Maw has a fast fire rate and does 16 damage to the body and 24 to the head, meaning it will take a maximum of 7 body shots and a minimum of 5 headshots to down an enemy. Its magazine can go from 60 to 90 if upgraded, making it larger than the largest magazine in the game, which is itself. The MLX Maw has the longest reload time in the game with the time of 4 seconds. It does not have an upgrade for a shorter reload time and Anvil does not have the Nimble Hands perk, so Anvil must be cautious in certain situations when reloading this weapon.
The Executioner does 30 body damage and it behaves much similarly to a DMR. The Executioner has the worst handling and the longest reload time of any other pistol. It has the second slowest fire rate but still manages to succeed in close or mid ranged distances.
Abilities
Anvil deploying his Barricade.
Anvil's Barricade is very durable and has 1200 health. It is used for blocking paths, covering objectives, or even to use as cover out in the open. Strategically, Anvil can place the shield down in front of the bomb to defuse it while enemies are forced to make a move. The Shredder Rounds perk does twice as much damage damage to Anvil's Barricade. This means that instead of 1200 health, only to those that equip this perk will only need to exert 600 damage to the Barricade. Flash Bangs and Tear Gas Grenades do not affect Anvil, so Anvil will never have any visual deficiency.
Gadgets
In Anvil's case, the C4 is best used for enemies that tend to make an approach. The Active Protective System has good use, especially when Anvil is defusing the bomb behind the Barricade. While enemies use gadgets to stop him, they will be destroyed, which will force the enemy to make an aggressive attack.
Significant Perks
Anvil's key perks are Headstrong, Life Drain and Tenacity. These perks increases Anvil's survivability. It will be much harder to take Anvil down.
Notable Strengths
Anvil has perks that makes him durable during fights and will increase his survivability chances. The MLX Maw carries a large amount of ammunition and the Arbitrator delivers devastating damage towards enemies.
Notable Weaknesses
Anvil's weapons take a long time to reload and this leaves him at a disadvantage because he does not have the Nimble Hands perk.
Strategy
Anvil's plays as tank on his team, allowing him to soak up more damage than others. He defends from a close or medium distance with high-powered weapons and makes use of gadgets that are used for significant defenses.
Advantages
- Can retake the bomb site
- Great for holding locations or areas
- Great survivability
Disadvantages
- Ability is very reliable. If wasted, he becomes less useful.
- Suffers at long distances

Chaac's gadgets wouldn't work in his favor against you due to your passive and Tenacity. If Chaac overheals himself, he'll take the full damage explosion of a C4, even if it's upgraded, but his health would low, giving you or a teammate the opportunity to finish him. As a Duelist, he won't allow you to distance yourself from him. | Easy/Medium | |

Dima will forcefully destroy your defenses with his immense firepower, but so long as you have the APSs placed down, they will destroy each gadget thrown towards you, even the MIRV Launcher cluster grenades. But if Dima plays smart and manages to hit you with the MIRV Launcher grenades, you may not survive. But if you are hit by one cluster grenade with the Tenacity perk and the Headstrong perk equipped, you will most definitely survive. Although, will be revealed, and caution must be taken. | Medium | |

With every gadget from your arsenal placed down (Barricade, C4 and APS), Gl1tch can easily hack and destroy the each of them. Afterwards, he'll try to rush your position, but, in your favor, Gl1tch's gadgets are futile against you. Anvil's passive will deny the Flashbang effect and the Tenacity perk will allow you to survive an explosion from the Semtex Grenade (with the exception of it sticking). As he attempts to get closer and use his guns, be prepared to have at least one teammate with you to take him down. | Easy/Medium | |

If you are hiding behind your barricade, a smart Scorch will throw her Incendiary Grenade on it, forcing you to get from behind it and not losing it to the APS because you'll most likely place it behind the Barricade. If you are hit by her EMP Grenade, you won't be able to attack or even push her away using the C4 and you won't be able to place down your APSs. From that point, she may make a push and will probably win. So long as you aren't hit by the EMP Grenade, Scorch won't be a huge threat if you keep your distance. | Medium | |
|
Seeker can find ways to take you down ways to take you down even while you are behind your defenses. Though your APS will destroy his Bounce Grenade, Sticky Sensor and even his Arrow, he can still will a gun fight. Because he uses weapons to keep his distance, he may be difficult to go up against, so try to attack him as a surprise or while he is distracted. | Hard | |
|
As she makes her way to the objective, Sigrid will have her shield out, trying to block each danger that comes toward her. To take her out, simply toss a C4 behind her and detonate it. But if she starts a gun fight, she won't win against the MLX-Maw with either of her weapons. At least, not from distance. Though she is a tank, like Anvil, she does not have the fire power to completely act as one. | Easy | |

When The Fixer is using his smoke and ability to take your team out, it would be best to stay behind cover to not risk being shot at by him. When the smoke clears, you probably won't know where he is (unless you have an Intel teammate), which might restrict you from peeking out of cover. The Fixer can be a nuisance from far away, but you can at least have a higher chance of winning when he is up close. | Hard | |

Major Synergy
- For a team that can render enemy gadgets almost entirely useless, Anvil, Scorch, Dahlia and Trench are the perfect picks. Because Anvil and Scorch are both immune to certain gadgets and have Tenacity, this will make enemy gadgets far more useless. Especially if Dahlia, who also has Tenacity, links with one of those two Rogues and with Trench including additional APSs. Because gadgets have very important use, Anvil, Scorch, Dahlia and Trench all can possibly win each round on defense.
- Sigrid is another Rogue to be included in this team as she is immune to slowing effects, (e.g., The Fixer's passive, Trench's Barbed Wire and Tear Gas), and she also has Tenacity. She is still a choice if needed.
- Anvil, Scorch, and Trench each have Headstrong, so this will decrease the chances of them getting down quicker than others.
- Because Anvil and Trench have Helping Hand and Dahlia has Lifeline, this will further increase team sustainability to keep teammates alive.
Major Counter
- A team that can counter this team is Gl1tch, Talon, Seeker and Sigrid. Gl1tch can hack every gadget and ability that was placed down, making the time that spent setting up defense pointless (Barricade, Trip Mines, Barbed Wire and APSs). If Gl1tch somehow does not manage to get rid of Trench's Barbed Wire, Sigrid can pass through it with ease and protect her teammates behind her while breaching the site.
- If Gl1tch destroys the Trip Mines or if they are not in the way as a threat, the only explosives that this team should be worried about is Anvil's C4 and Dahlia's grenade. Gl1tch, Talon and Sigrid have Tenacity, so they will survive explosive attacks.
- If someone happens to go down, Sigrid or Seeker can revive them using Lifeline.
- Talon's Radar Dart can show the enemies on the radar without them knowing, and if needed, Seeker's Arrow, Sticky Sensor or Tracker Rounds (from Gl1tch and Talon) can reveal enemies. They will almost always know where the enemy is and can, possibly, successfully reach the objective.
- Even though Anvil, Dahlia and Scorch have Tenacity, Seeker Bounce Grenade can do an immense amount of damage.
