ISO's abilities seem intriguing to play with. The Agent has a very calculated playstyle, and his kit is designed around careful coordination with regard to aggression in the game. Above all, his ultimate is a game-changer. Below is a list of his abilities:

• Consistency (C): Assemble a series of prismatic energy. Firing upon it will push an indestructible wall of energy that can block incoming bullets.
• Undercut (Q): Equip a molecular bolt that can be thrown forward. Any player impaled with the bolt will have a status effect of Vulnerability.
• Double Tap (E): ISO will start a focus timer, upon the completion of which, the Agent will enter into a flow state during which damaging or killing enemies will generate energy orbs. Shooting this orb will grant players a layer of shield that can absorb one instance of damage from any incoming source.
• Kill Contract (X): ISO can host an interdimensional arena amidst the battlefield. Firing with the ultimate will release a pulse of energy, and the first enemy to hit will be part of this 1v1 arena. Both persons must duel to death. The last man standing survives.
