Radio Scrambler

Radio Scrambler is an item that interferes with the Order faction’s troop communications. When the device is powered, it disrupts the signal used by Order forces and prevents those troops from appearing in the scrambler’s area of effect. The unit functions by altering or jamming radio frequencies so that the Order cannot establish the communications required for reinforcements or patrol spawns within the covered zone.

The scrambler’s effect is strictly on the appearance/spawn of Order troops; it does not block hostile action once it is underway. Specifically, powering a Radio Scrambler does not stop assault events, portal storms, or other active attack mechanics from occurring in the area. The device therefore serves as a control measure to deny an area to routine Order spawns, not as a shield against ongoing or special offensive events.

Practical notes and interactions:

• Activation requirement: The Radio Scrambler must be supplied with power to produce its anti-spawn effect. Unpowered units do not interfere with Order communications.
• Primary effect: Prevents Order troop appearances in its coverage area by confusing or replacing their radio signals.
• Limitations: The device does not prevent assaults, portal storms, or other attack events. These threats will still occur even while the scrambler is active.
• Tactical role: Use the Radio Scrambler to reduce or eliminate routine Order reinforcements and patrols in a controlled area, but combine it with other defenses or preparations for dealing with assaults and portal-based events that the scrambler cannot stop.

Across languages, descriptions consistently emphasize that the device disrupts Order communications and stops them from appearing when it is energized, while also warning that it provides no protection against direct assaults or portal storm phenomena.
