}}Lock belongs to the Attacker class. His effectiveness is based on the accuracy and high fire rate of his TYGR-92 assault rifle. His damage is moderate but can be boosted by 25-40% while Augmented Reality is active and 50% with his ultimate ability. His health is quite high allowing him to absorb a significant amount of damage.

Background

What do you do when you're a top surveillance systems specialist, working for Korp, risking life and limb on the daily, and earning crap pay? You take a bribe from OCTO. What do you do once your fellow Korp agents start getting suspicious? You go on the run. But with skills like mine, you don't stay unemployed for very long.

Going freelance is part choice, part necessity, and all in all a pretty decent time. You put the mask on, hide your identity, and become an Agent...anything to earn a living. You notice the line between right and wrong's gone awful blurry these days... You've tried being a stand-up guy for years, but you can't quite cut it. It's time to put yourself first.

So...what do you do when you've got a constant target on your back? You put a nice sticker back there and hope for the best.

Weapon: Assault rifle

The TYGR-92 is used by agent Lock. It hold 40 rounds in its magazine. It does decent damage, has above average fire rate and has good range.

Ability

Activating Augmented Reality generates a blue/red wave which radiates through an area "tagging" enemy players, making them visible through obstacles similar to the drone in MC5. The effect lasts 10 seconds and also increases the damage Lock deals to affected players.

Ultimate Ability

Lock's ultimate ability Team Recon makes tagged enemies visible to Lock's teammates as well. He benefits from an even further increased damage output while the ability is active.

Tips

Lock is a versatile agent. He does well in all, but excels in none. He has moderate health, damage and mobility. Lock could potentially be both a team player and lone wolf. He does best at mid-range, where he shreds most of his opponents. He's not exactly the agent to lead the charge so get behind a Defender. Aim down sights as much as possible in all engagements other than close quarters combat. In close combat, aim for the opponent's head as much as possible, as it makes a huge difference when trading shot-for-shot, something easily done with Lock's high accuracy.

His Augmented Reality can easily alter the outcome of a match in larger maps where Agents might be too scattered, because it will also highlight the location of these Agents for his teammates.

Counters

• Blaze: Flame-o-Matic is effective against Lock as he shreds his health alongside burning him, keep strafing him to reduce damage.
• Ronen: Most likely his best Counter, Ronen invalidates all of Lock's damage due to his Ultimate. Close the distance with his Dash
• Ghost: This can go both ways, but it all depends on one thing; Range. Ghost can shred Lock's health up-close and would force Lock to retreat to gain distance. If he escapes use his Cloak to stab him. Lock can see Ghost's Cloak via Augmented-Reality, make sure you kill him fast lest you die

• "Welcome to orientation. This is not a test or a practice run. This is the real deal. Let's start with a quick mandatory overview. Agent, as you know, Korp censored most of this material for... "security purposes", but the world once had governments. Countries. Culture. However, due to bad decisions form various powerful people, most of the planet is now uninhabitable. That's "unable to sustain human life". Shitty, I know. Lucky for us, we live in a macropolis, built by Korp. Mandatory security protocols. Round the clock surveillance. Walls to keep us safe...ha. Walls to keep us trapped. And this lady, spewing propaganda day in and day out. Not even a real person, apparently. One half of the city is pristine. Hi-tech. That's Korp's base of operations, the Apex. HQ. Manipulation central. The other half is the voids, areas meant for "eventual overhaul"...ahem, never gonna happen. No surprise the people there started up a coalition to push for change. They call themselves OCTO. Now, both groups would love to declare all-out war on each other, but they can't. Korp would lose that lovely façade they put so much effort into, and OCTO knows that innocent bystanders would get caught in the crossfire. That's where we come in. We're given a specific location, and told to create a so-called "strategic disruption" for one side or the other. And yes, we take contracts from both. The line between right and wrong's awfully blurry these days... Each of you has a state-of-the-art combat suit with a unique ability built in. Remember: teamwork is what makes the difference between a good day on the job and a really bad day. Be sure to familiarize yourself with new agents as they come on the scene. Learn about their abilities, and create the most badass squad you can. and always, always be prepared. Because on the other side of this door is a killer enemy squad that'll stop at nothing to take you out. Remember, it's us versus them. Be an agent of chaos. Be an agent of change."
