Apart from unique abilities that allow all the Freegunners to be distinctive from each other, all of them will have various deployable gadgets in their possession. Although the gadgets are very situational, they can be useful in getting out of tricky moments or become more destructive. Hence, having some gadgets can be highly effective.

In the other available hero-shooter games such as Overwatch, the Heroes do not have any gadgets in their possession. Their kits are mainly comprised of abilities that can be used over and over after their cooldown ends. Therefore, the addition of Gadgets in Concord can be a game-changer for some players.
