XDefiant:Shock Wire
Overview
Shock Wire is unofficially called the Crude Electrified Device or CED-1. This is an activated ability for GSK faction characters, which was added in Season 1 of XDefiant.
The CED-1 is an iconic gadget used by the Specialist Dominic "Bandit" Brunsmeier from Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege. In XDefiant, the CED-1 is termed as ‘Shock Wire’.
Using this GSK's skill, the user drops briars of electrified barbed wire that not only entangles an enemy caught in it but also zaps as well. You get 3 spools of wire as the starting ammunition. Every time you use a spool, it takes 6 seconds for the ammo to regenerate.
If an ally is caught in the laid wire, it will only slow them down and not deal any damage. However, when an enemy steps into the barber wire, they take damage, and movement speed is slowed down significantly. The player who lays spools of barbed wire will not be subjected to any effects such as reduced movement speed.
The Shock Wire can be destroyed by using a device as a Frag grenade or by dealing melee damage to it. Alternatively, DedSec faction characters can use the Hijack skill and flip the allegiance of the Shock Wire.
The player who lays the barbed wires can possibly hipfire a regular weapon.
