What're those red clamps that appear around your character in matches?

You know....the somewhat transparent red clamp things that show up seemingly by random on your character while pvping.....

They appear when you are playing for the opposite faction as part of Task Force X or Suicide Squad. They represent the explosive collar that makes sure you do as you are told by Checkmate.

Ohhh, ok. Thank you so much!

If you que as a villian you will most likely see it on all the other team members, who will most likely be DPS in green pve gear.

The Red collar will appear on heroes and villains random depend on match that what you side on.

Thanks for the info.
It's the details that makes this game fun and great. Glad this MMO has a lot of lore to work from.

Bro been waiting on an answer for almost 10 years

Actually, bro got his answer same day he posted. But then 9 years later, a noob decided to necro the post just to repeat what 2 other people already said, with slightly different semantics.

Then let's necro this post 2033 too and make it a tradition xD
