IR Chaff

 is a utility ability available to the Corsair. It is unlocked and upgraded using Certification Points.

When activated, infrared chaff is immediately deployed behind the vessel and any lock-on missiles in flight towards the aircraft will immediately lose their target. In addition, for the next 8 seconds subsequent lock-on attempts on the vessel are impossible, resulting in no lock-on marker appearing if attempted.

IR chaff only defeats missiles and prevents lock-on attempts made against the dispensing vessel, and will not protect any other vehicle. There is no limit on the amount of missiles a single deployment of chaff can defeat.

To activate a utility ability, press the Use Ability hotkey ( by default).
