The PDS releases chemicals that neutralize the deadly gas circle within a limited area, thus creating a temporary safe zone for all the players inside it, and allowing them to remove their gas masks.

This gives you and your teammates space to regroup, strategize, and plan your next move, especially during crucial moments in a match.

However, the makeshift safe zone generated by the PDS field upgrade is visible to all players on the tac map, exposing your location to enemies.

Nonetheless, you can turn this to your advantage by luring opponents into the area, and ambushing them from a strategic vantage point.

Furthermore, you can deploy it on water or attach it to your vehicle, enabling you to drive through the gas for a limited time. Go to a buy station to reactivate it.
