It requires some strategy in placement and deciding when to fire it up. The shield is also inherently interactive, which is refreshing for Siege’s mostly hands-off proximity traps. Like Mario Kart’s traumatizing fake item box, the Volcán only reveals itself as a trap once it’s too late to escape its clutches. There’s a light layer of deception to Goyo’s shields that I find delightful. If an angle is made from above or below, it’s easy to spot the shield’s bright red charge and shoot it when defenders least expect. His shields can be destroyed with traditional means (Ash, Zofia, Sledge, frag grenades), but defenders can also shoot the red explosive charge to trigger it at will, similar to popping the air canister on Mira’s Black Mirrors.īut Goyo’s Volcáns also have the potential to be hijacked by attackers. The Volcán looks no different from a normal deployable shield from the front, but when destroyed, it explodes and leaves a spread of fire in its wake. The two-speed, two-armor defender is equipped with Volcán Shields, deployable shields with a back-mounted explosive charge. It’s been a while since Ubisoft has added a defender as straightforward as Goyo (an objectively hotter clone of John Leguizamo). Or, you can take her LMG and still pop hatches with the ITA12-S backup shotgun. The SMG-11 is powerful enough to operate as a de facto primary weapon, meaning she can take the less reliable Supernova and use its silencer for quieter hatch and window breaching. Both secondaries are interesting modifications on her playstyle. Her secondaries are also non-standard-she can take Jackal's ITA12-S shotgun or the British SMG-11. The G8A1 is a functional primary, but I’ll always prefer the balanced recoil and fire rate of an AR. It’s a non-standard setup noticeably lacking an assault rifle. For primary weapons, Amaru takes her pick between the G8A1 LMG (previously exclusive to IQ) and the Hibana/Echo’s Supernova shotgun (which can now equip a suppressor). Like with Nøkk and Warden last season, Ubisoft has gone the route of reusing lesser-known weapons for Amaru and Goyo instead of creating new ones (there are now 100 weapons in the game, so I get it).
