P.H.A.D.O

The P.H.A.D.O or the Phantom Detonator Override is a Tools gadget introduced in the 15.5.0 Cops and Criminals: Black Market update.
== Appearance ==
It has a grey cubic base containing a mounted dark blue satellite dish with a black antenna arm.
When activated, it will cover a large distance in front of the satellite at a 170 degree angle, in which will disable enemies' explosive projectiles from detonating if caught in its range.
Additionally, any enemies caught within its range will yield the same effect until he/she exits the range, with a 3-second effect afterwards. If a projectile manages to hit a teammate or a user, then that projectile will deal 66% less damage.
== Strategy ==
It will prevent enemies' explosive projectiles from detonating caught within its range, causing them to fly to its target without detonating.
=== Tips ===
* Set this in front of commonly travelled pathways, especially against Heavy weapon users.
* Despite it preventing projectiles from detonating, it will not stop projectiles, which will yield 33% less damage when hit.
* It can disable projectiles from Manual Detonator weapons, as well as many Throwing gadgets such as Frag Grenades, Fireworks, and Fake Bonuses.
* Try to protect it from enemy fire as it can be destroyed in a couple of shots.
* It is not very effective against AI enemies such as Rocket Soldiers as only a few are encountered in game.
=== Counters ===
* Switch to another weapon if caught inside its range.
* Quickly destroy the gadget using a Sniper weapon.
* Avoid getting too close from its range, and pick off the gadget at long range.
== Trivia ==
* It is the first gadget to feature the Disable Detonation attribute.
* It was developed by Area 52 Defense Development Agency, but it was stolen by an unknown individual. It was later discovered that black market members managed to reverse engineer it, and create near-perfect clones of the original P.H.A.D.O.
