Mass Accelerator Drive

The Mass Accelerator Drive, also known as MAD, is a utility ability available to the Colossus. It is unlocked by default, and upgraded using Merit.

When activated, the Mass Accelerator Drive immediately consumes the listed amount of Cortium to improve the functionality of the Mammoth Cannon for 15 seconds, increasing its damage-per-shot by 32%, muzzle velocity by 50%, and allows the rounds to pierce through all vehicles.

The ability incurs a 60 second cooldown between each use, beginning immediately upon activation of the ability.

While active, the Colossus applies a debuff to itself each time it fires, dealing 500 damage over time.

To activate this ability, press the Activate Ability hotkey ( or by default).

Certifications
"Activate MAD draining cortium and for the next several seconds cause shots from the main cannon to do increased damage, travel faster, and pierce vehicles. Each shot however will overheat the weapon's cooling system inflicting damage to the Colossus."
