Explosives

• Aim-Assisted Rocket — Missile hits launch a rocket at your target. After enough rockets have been fired, an orbital strike is called instead. This trait has an internal cooldown.

Firearms

• Chemical Rounds — Gain condition damage. Your pistol skills gain increased condition duration.
• Modified Ammunition — Deal increased strike damage for each condition on a foe.

Alchemy

• Chain Reactivity — Gain barrier when you successfully finish a combo field with a leap or a blast. Every third successful finish grants you might and a larger barrier that is shared with allies.

Scrapper

• Kinetic Accelerators — Grant boons to nearby allies when you successfully combo a field with a blast, leap, or whirl finisher. Your function gyro is now a blast finisher. Whirl finishers can only trigger this trait once per interval.

Notes

• The glue puddle is created by a slow-moving projectile, meaning that the user might need to lead their target. The puddle reapplies cripple every second for its full duration.
