Mad Maggie’s tactical ability is the Riot Drill. This ability allows her to shoot a horizontal drill that will, after a brief delay, burn enemies through obstacles. This ability, which resembles VALORANT agent Breach’s Aftershock ability, will be useful for dislodging enemies hidden behind cover or in tight spaces and corners.

Mad Maggie’s passive ability Warlord’s Ire temporarily highlights enemies she has damaged and allows her to move faster with a shotgun. It also gives her a unique animation for picking up certain shotguns, like the Mastiff. This makes her the second Legend to have a particular affinity for a class of weapon, after Rampart.

Ultimate ability: Wrecking Ball
