Gameplay[]
Produced by the mech bay,[1] the Atlas has a "tank mode" and a "deployed mode," the latter of which uses its BFG.[2] The Atlas's attacks deal AOE damage, including to friendly units.[1] The Atlas can be paired with an Evac, making it a good harasser.[3]
In Team Mayhem, the Atlas is exclusive to Blockade, and is jointly deployed with an Evac.
