- Mutant Leap – Perform a charged jump that covers vast distances.
- Toxic Stim Cloud – Deploy a poisonous cloud that inflicts damage to enemies and boosts your squad mates’ speed for a short duration.
- Sludge Sling – Toss sludge grenades that explode into a toxic gas cloud on impact. The gas slows and damages enemies over time.
