Rocket Strike
The Ultimate fires a powerful rocket that explodes on impact, damaging all targets in the blast.
Brutal Strike
Rushes and strikes a target, dealing Melee Damage and applying Dazed. It occupies the Standard slot and its combat card carries a Melee Action label; slot and action type are separate axes, described on Combat System.
Shown at Brutal Strike IV: 1 AP for 16 damage, once per turn.
Strength
Increases Melee Damage by +2 and the throw range of all Grenades by +2.0m.
Armsmaster
Increases Blaster Damage and Grenade Damage by +2.
Confirmed interactions
- Strength and Armsmaster are both unconditional, and both affect grenades: Strength the throw range, Armsmaster the damage
- Trick carries a Repeater and fires Fire Repeating Blaster, a Final Action consuming all remaining AP for Blaster Damage plus Rapid Fire Damage scaled to the AP spent, listed at 22 damage for 3 AP. This is a weapon attack rather than a class ability, so any operator carrying a Repeater has access to it; see Weapons
- Dazed is applied only by Brutal Strike among confirmed abilities; see the statuses table
Earlier preview attribution
PC Gamer’s March 2026 hands-on described a rocket launcher blast ultimate, attributed to the Heavy. Rocket Strike is the Soldier’s Ultimate; the Heavy’s is Bulwark.
