''[[Armor lock]]'', sometimes referred to as ''Armor Lockup'', is an ability that overcharges the player's energy shield, preventing the user from taking any damage. This ranges from repelling incoming explosive projectiles and removing {{Pattern|Anskum|plasma grenade}}s to disabling, damaging or even destroying incoming vehicles. However, in doing so, the player is immobile and cannot perform any act. Once depleted, the armor ability discharges a short-range EMP blast effect and pushes players away from the user. | ''[[Armor lock]]'', sometimes referred to as ''Armor Lockup'', is an ability that overcharges the player's energy shield, preventing the user from taking any damage.

The ''Jet Pack'' ability varies with how long the ability is used. The longer the player activates the ability, the longer the player would be able to remain in the air but at the consequence of having the ability depleting faster. Thus, it is recommended that the player use the ability in bursts, which would deplete the ability less than a sustained flight. Additionally, fall damage still applies to Jet Pack users should they fall from the air. The Jet Pack scales with the set gravity; so the less gravity is set, the higher the jet pack can lift the player. | The ''Jet Pack'' ability varies with how long the ability is used.
