Pulse dish on JACK.
Pulse is the name given to the sonar-like device used by JACK models such as Dave and JACK, to scan for hidden enemies and equipment. It is a large dish situated at the top of the robot, like a 'hump'.[1]
Pulse acts like a long-range marking system that has wide coverage. Enemies located by Pulse are 'marked' by a yellow highlight, allowing the player to perform stealth kills or strategically plan for the quickest firefight.
Strategy[]
Pulse as aforementioned is a largely 'passive' ability and is the first modification usable for the JACK robots. Pulse is mainly used for locating hidden enemies and equipment/weapons so that the player could methodically plan for their attack.
It is a piece of useful equipment when the battlefield is obscured by environmental hazards like a smoke coming from a Smoke Grenade and intense dust storms. It also makes invisible enemies like Hunters, visible, allowing to pick off these dangerous troops without the need for them to wait and fire their Torque Bow. The upgrades of Pulse are:
