Battle Hardened
Perk · Multiplayer

Reduce the effect of enemy Tacticals. It reduces enemy tactical effects without promising immunity. Guide suggestion: use it for pressured entries with a fallback route.
What it does
Reduces the effect of enemy Tacticals on you. It does not make you fully immune.
Why it helps
- Flash, Concussion and other enemy Tacticals affect you less, so you can fight back sooner.
- Push into objectives where enemies spam Tacticals while being less affected.
When to use it
Pick it when enemies lean on Flash, Concussion and other Tacticals before they push.
