Notes

• Area of effect of the latter half of the trait is centered on the scrapper.
• The healing skill Med Kit, an Engineering Kit which can be equipped without any cooldown, does not grant any superspeed, instead the related tool belt skill Bandage Self grants superspeed to five targets including the caster for 5 seconds. Therefore, the self-superspeed granted by Bandage Self has an increased duration of 12 seconds rather than 7 seconds (note that superspeed has a maximum duration of 10 seconds).
