Players can use Rauoras D.O.M launcher by pointing it at the and shoot the launcher at the doors. This deploys a barricade with a lock at the top. Both attackers and defenders can shoot the lock mechanism to unlock the barricade. However, the time it takes to unlock the barricade is different for both Attackers and defenders.
For attackers, to unlock the barricaded doors it takes 1 second and for defenders it takes 3 seconds. This gives a great advantage to take control of sites. D.O.M. Launcher will allow attackers to create and modify the bomb sites to make planting easier. These gates can be destroyed with explosives and Fuze and Ying can place their gadgets on these too.
Rauora’s gadget will have a bunch of counters. One of them will be Jäger’s ADS, which will catch the D.O.M. Launcher projectiles if these travel close to the system’s range of action.
