Both callouts are the map’s own. No throw instruction is published here· this one leans on a surface a patch can move — recheck it after one.

Who can fill it

8 agents on the roster carry an ability with this job — the ones written as fitting Abyss come first.

  2. 2 · TargetThe landing zone is B Site — the deny plant only works if it covers it.
  3. 3 · ReleaseEQUIP a Barrier Mesh disc. FIRE to throw forward. Upon landing, the disc generates barriers from the origin point that block character movement.

What it buys

A wall on an open-boundary map is the boundary — it turns a coin flip into a corridor you chose.

Do not use it when It cuts your own rotation as readily as theirs; place it where you are not standing.

Recall test

Without looking: from B Link, where does this deny plant land?

Answer first, then reveal — recalling is the part that transfers to a round.
