New Proximity alarm counter

Original Post

Basically only IQ can counter the alarm. ( see it before it can go off ) , i wished you could bait the alarm with your drone. It rewards droning. You can bait defenders with it. So use it against them, (counter the alarm) i know its a gadget that you can easy destroy but how? Drone it. See it. Expose yourself. Sound goes off. Hide. Then you can proceed. If a drone could let it go off. You directly know its there and a defender stil knows you coming.

Btw you can counter the drone as a defender to put the alarm high.

What you guys think?

Agreed, I hope to see more IQs on teams now! She can counter a lot of people and gadgets in the game. Did you know that she can see anyone who's on their phones looking at cams?

Yup, even if it's placed on a non-destructible wall, IQ can see it as long as it's within the range of her gadget.

Yup! She's insanely good. I don't think it's something that's widely known by the community so I figured I'd share that little tidbit. It's an electronic device, so it pops up just like it would if you were watching Pulse use his heartbeat sensor. She can also spot Vigil as well when he activates his ERC-7.

I think it's case-by-case. A lot of floors/ceilings are bangable, so going above or below the Prox Mine to shoot it is an option, but I do know there's a possibility of it being in a place that's tough to reach.
