Active mechanics
Upon use, all deployable skills shoot a "projectile" out of the player in the direction they are facing, and will deploy an object upon touching the ground. There are two types of deployable items, powered and non-powered. Powered turrets need the player to be within a certain radius of it in order to function, and that power radius is decreased if the link to the player is obstructed by terrain. Non-powered deployable items do not need the player to be nearby to function, usually because they do not actively attack enemies in the usual sense.
Effect scaling
Most deployable skills scale with 
Tactics, although a few also scale with 
Brutality or 
Survival.
