When the device is deployed, the field expands to a radius of 5 / 7 / 8 / 10 meters.

A single device can hold a maximum of 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 enemies.

- For more information about the contact damage, see this blog and this follow-up.
- Duration is affected by Power Duration.
- Field radius is affected by Power Range.
- The device will deploy on the first surface it makes contact with and will hover approximately one meter perpendicular to the surface. Regardless of the orientation of the surface, the containment field will always project horizontally.

0 | 50% | 50% | 6 |
1 | 65% | 55% | 7 |
2 | 80% | 60% | 8 |

Tips & Tricks
- When used in narrow hallways or choke-points, enemies that are held up in the field block the path of others behind, negating the enemy limit and blocking all the enemies from advancing.
- Bastille spawns from a ball that Vauban throws in an arc, so it can be deployed where aimed.
