MODIFIERS
Global Modifier
Rogue Momentum is all about skill, bending the rules, and using dirty tactics to dominate in high-risk, high-reward combat. The more enemies you eliminate, the more Momentum you build—but keeping it is just as crucial as gaining it.
Momentum builds up through combat actions, with different kills granting different amounts. Standard enemies give a small boost, while headshots, skill-based eliminations, multi-kills, and explosive takedowns provide even bigger gains.
Elite targets offer even greater Momentum, making them high-priority threats. As you take down enemies, your Momentum Meter fills, pushing you through different Tiers—each unlocking powerful combat bonuses.
Momentum Tiers & Bonuses
Higher tiers mean faster movement, better reload speed, increased weapon and skill damage, and even faster rate of fire. At the top tier, you gain Skill Overcharge, letting you use abilities more often.
| Tier 1 "Calculated" | Tier 2 "Swift" | Tier 3 "Ruthless" | Tier 4 "Savage" | "Unstoppable" | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weapon Damage | +5% | +10% | +15% | +20% | +20% |
| Skill Damage | +5% | +10% | +15% | +20% | +20% |
| Movement Speed | +10% | +15% | +20% | +20% | |
| Reload Speed | +5% | +10% | +15% | +20% | |
| Rate of Fire | +15% | +20% | +25% | ||
| Skill Overcharge | Yes |
However, Momentum doesn’t stack. You only benefit from the tier you’re currently at, and if you lose Momentum, you drop to a lower tier.
Momentum Decay
Momentum slowly fades over time, both in and out of combat. Taking damage also slows down how quickly you can earn more Momentum.
To slow down decay, stay active! Sprinting for at least 2 seconds slows the decay rate, and using Pulse stops it entirely for 5 seconds.
Blacklisted Enemies
Keep an eye out for Blacklisted enemies—randomly marked foes with a slashed icon. Taking them down gives a huge Momentum boost:
- Standard Blacklisted Enemy → +7% Momentum
- Elite Blacklisted Enemy → +10% Momentum
As a bonus, eliminating a Blacklisted enemy grant Energized, a 15-second buff that increases weapon handling and critical hit chance by 10%.
But be careful—if you don’t take them out quickly, they can drain your Momentum fast, so make them your top priority and eliminate them as soon as possible.
Active Modifiers
The active modifiers enhance the aggressive playstyle and high-stakes theme, where performing well grants powerful bonuses, while failure might even lead to reductions in Armor and health.
- Overdrive: Instantly maxes out Momentum to 100%, granting powerful combat bonuses for a limited time. After wearing off, Momentum is gained at a rate of -70% for 150 seconds.
- Vendetta: Activating Vendetta marks several enemies. Killing these enemies using primary, secondary, skill, or pistol grants stacking tank bonuses. Failure to eliminate them imposes armor and health reduction penalties.
- Tactical Supremacy: Doubles the effects of all equipped Passive Modifiers for a limited time. While active, Momentum gain from Passive Modifiers is frozen, but it also prevents Blacklisted enemies from draining your Momentum.
Passive Modifiers
Players can choose from 12 Passive Modifiers, divided into skill-specific and general modifiers. Up to 3 can be equipped at any time.
- Explosive Amp: Seeker Mine deals 100% more damage against Blacklisted enemies.
- Critical Recovery: Performing a critical hit restores 5% of your maximum armor.
- Critical Momentum: Critical hits have a 50% chance to grant 1% Momentum.
- Momentum Surge: Kills with skills double Momentum gain.
- Explosive Expertise: Explosive skill kills reduce the cooldown of that skill by 30% if you score a multi-kill.
- Reaper Scan: Enemies scanned with the Pulse have a 25% chance to receive a Blacklist Mark.
- Aggressive Drone: Increases the Striker Drone's damage by 50%, but reduces its duration by 40%.
- Fortified Shield: Strengthen any equipped Shield base health by 100%, allowing you to stay on the front lines longer.
- Reactive Reinforcement: Heals 5% of your maximum armor when your Shield takes damage (cooldown: 10 seconds).
- Overclocked Projector: The Decoy emits a bright flash when destroyed or deactivated, Blinding up to 2 enemies targeting it. Receive 5% bonus Momentum for every affected hostile.
- Microwave Coils: Up to 4 enemies affected by Pulse have a 50% chance to receive a Burn status effect. Receive 5% bonus Momentum for every affected hostile.
- Rigged Battery: Drones that are destroyed or dismantled applies Shock to 2 nearby enemies. Receive 5% bonus Momentum for every affected hostile.
Hostile Countermeasures
Enemies push back against Momentum with Frenzy:
- Enemy Frenzy: enemies gain rate of fire, movement speed, and armor/health regen.
- Enemy Frenzy Scaling: the number of enemies and the amount of Rage applied scales as players progress though the Season Chapters.
