What Is Tactical Gear
Tactical Gear is special combat equipment that gives you an additional ability during fights. Unlike weapons, these abilities work on timed cooldowns, so you need to use them strategically.
In Horde Siege, your Tactical Gear is determined by the Siege Class you select.
The four known Tactical Gear options are:
- Sonic Disruptor: Best for controlling groups of enemies.
- Adrenaline Injector: Helps you stay alive during tough encounters.
- Pulse Drone: Gives your squad better enemy awareness.
- Stim Vaporizer: Focuses on healing and reviving teammates.
