What does Lock Jacker do?

It forces nearby enemies to aim at you: a pulse makes everyone within 2.4 km point their turrets, missiles and attack drones at your ship for 5 seconds.

  • It's an ECM module, new in Beta Patch 3, on a 24-second cooldown.
  • Pilots it hits get a Taunted badge, and their lock stays on you until it wears off.
  • It's meant for big, slow ships: it keeps faster ships in the fight instead of letting them pick their moment.
  • Lock Jacker and its blueprint (3 uses) drop at every breach tier.

Tip

It pulls fire onto you, so pair it with a hull and resistances that can take it, and squadmates who use the 5 seconds.
