The interaction

Editorial

The defining utility trade in Siege. Thatcher’s E.G.S. Disruptor finds shock wires through the wall and disables them with an EMP blast, while Bandit answers by re-placing wires or tricking the timing.

Thatcher hard-counters Bandit

Playing Thatcher

  • Fire the EMP when the breacher is ready, not before. Going early gives Bandit time to re-wire.
  • Have the breacher call a countdown, and scan the wall first so you know what you are clearing.

Playing Bandit

  • Hold batteries until after the first EMP lands, then re-place them.
  • Stay near the wall and listen for the charge going up.
