Solis' SPEC-IO Electro Sensor ability will now be unavailable during the preparation phase. Additionally, the duration of the ability will be reduced to 10 seconds, the detection range set to 12 meters, and the sensor will need to be at full charge to be used. Solis will also swap her Impact Grenades gadget with Proximity Alarm.
