- Has two charges, allowing it to be used twice in a row.
- The launcher allows Bangalore to fire canisters farther than grenades can be thrown.
- Holding Tactical button delays the launch. Melee cancels the launch.
- The launcher can be used at the same time as other actions: firing, reloading, healing, etc.
- Upon landing, the canister splits into three, which land in a line perpendicular to where it was launched from. Takes 11 seconds to evaporate.
- Players inside the same cloud of smoke can see each other highlighted with a white outline.

Bangalore is unlocked by default on all players' accounts.
Abilities
Smoke Launcher
|
Tactical | Q/  / /
|
|---|---|---|
| Smoke Launcher | ||
| Description | Fire a high-velocity smoke canister that explodes into a smoke wall on impact. | |
| Cooldown | 35 seconds | |
- Threat highlighters, such as the
1x Digital Threat, 
4x-10x Digital Sniper Threat, or Bloodhound's 
Beast of the Hunt, can see through the smoke. - Wattson's
Interception Pylon can shoot down the smoke canisters. - Wattson's
Perimeter Security fences can't be seen through the smoke. - The smoke residue can be tracked by Bloodhound's
Tracker. - The smoke disables the aim assist provided by using a controller.
- The Smoke Launcher can be used both offensively and defensively; to ambush an unsuspecting squad by removing their ability to see you and respond, or as a weapon of escape to obscure yourself and your team from enemies.
- However, to effectively use this ability to attack, use a 1x Digital Threat and/or 4x-10x Digital Sniper Threat, or use a legend such as Bloodhound or Seer to reveal the enemies inside the smoke.
- However, to effectively use this ability to attack, use a
- Bangalore can also use the smoke canister while she is currently using a consumable item such as a
Med Kit or 
Shield Battery, as both only require one hand. Use this to your advantage to cover yourself while you heal. - The smoke can be seen by other teams from some distance and attract them.
- The smoke should be on the enemy, not your team. The smoke can also be between you and enemy, effectively acts as a visual barrier between you and enemy.
- If smoke is on your team, the enemy sees everywhere you cannot, but they know generally where you are.
- Conversely, smoke on the enemy obscures their vision, forcing them to move out and possibly disperse to engage, while your team retains a wider range of movement and vision, giving your team an advantage.
- Thus, using smoke to cover your team's revive can be considered a gamble, as your vision is just as obscured.
- Throw a
Frag Grenade or some explosive device into a smokescreen. This will either deal damage to enemies inside it, force them to come to you, or force them to retreat. You can also have Caustic's 
Nox Gas Grenade in the smoke to obscure the enemies' vision and deal damage.
- Crouching and hip-firing while the smoke launcher is primed will increase your accuracy.
Double Time
|
Passive | |
|---|---|---|
| Double Time | ||
| Description | Taking fire while sprinting makes you move faster for a brief time. | |
- Double Time activates upon being hit, or when bullets/grenades barely miss you, while sprinting.
- Grants a 30% increase in movement speed for 2 seconds.
- The passive can activate if enemies shoot at you while inside Gibraltar's
Dome of Protection.
- Bangalore's passive is a reactive one that responds to enemies engaging you. Utilize the short term speed boost whenever you can either by running for cover or returning fire with the increased speed as it makes you a difficult target to hit.
Rolling Thunder
|
Ultimate | Z/ +  / +  / + 
|
|---|---|---|
| Rolling Thunder | ||
| Description | Call in an artillery strike that slowly creeps across the landscape. | |
| Charge time | 4.5 minutes | |
- Bangalore throws a flare, and several rows of missiles land sequentially in front of the flare.
- Each missile takes 6 seconds to explode after landing. Since they land in rows, this creates a wave of explosions moving forward from the flare.
- The missiles land in a 6x6 square, with the maximum distance of 70m ahead from the flare.
- Each explosion deals 40 damage, and stuns and slows enemies for 6 seconds. This ability cannot damage squadmates, but it will still cause a slowing effect.
- Rolling Thunder is referred as "Creeping Barrage" in death recap, obituaries and its corresponding stat tracker.
- Wattson's Interception Pylon can shoot down both the missiles (before landing) and the initial flare.
- Note that unlike grenades which can be held in the throw position by holding down the fire button, the flare will be thrown the instant you press the fire button.
- Unlike Gibraltar's
Defensive Bombardment, the missiles land in front of the flare instead of around it, so throw it between you and the area you want to bombard. - Rolling Thunder should be best saved for large team engagements or ambushes, or ultimately to cover your team while escaping. It can catch an unsuspecting enemy team off guard and have them running for cover.
- A good time to use Rolling Thunder is right after downing an enemy in a long-range outdoor fight. It'll make it dangerous for their squad to try to revive them, and give your squad space to push into a 3v2 fight.
- This ultimate ability isn't independently powerful enough to be fully effective on its own, so it is strongly recommended to chase the enemy down as they get bombarded.
- Because the missiles explode in rows, you can hit enemies multiple times if they're moving with the wave, i.e. away from where the flare is. Try to get them to flee when they start going off.
- If your enemies can't escape, the best thing they could do is stay behind cover and try to heal through the damage. When you see the damage markers, throw some additional grenades at their location while they're still stunned.

Lore
| “ | Born into a military family where she, her parents, and her four older brothers all served with the IMC, Bangalore has been an exceptional soldier her whole life. Dedicated to the IMC cause, she was top of her class at the IMC Military Academy and the only cadet who could take apart a Peacekeeper, equip it with a Precision Choke hop-up, and put it back together in under twenty seconds – blindfolded.
When the Frontier Militia attacked the IMC on Gridiron, escape was nearly impossible. Using an experimental device to power their jump-drive, the IMS Hestia managed to narrowly escape the Battle at Gridiron only to crash on the planet Gaea. The surviving crew, including Anita and her brother Jackson, built a settlement on the islands of New Antilla. Shortly after, Anita and Jackson left to begin their quest back home– or so she thought. A few years later, on another ship nicknamed the IMS Hestia II, Anita and Jackson were attacked by unknown assailants. A bomb on the outer hull blew out a chunk of the ship… but not before Jackson shielded her, sacrificing his own life to save hers. Anita watched helplessly, as Jackson was sucked out into the vacuum of space. After crashing on the Syndicate planet Solace, Anita looked for both work and the brother she refused to believe had died, so they could begin the decades-long trip back home. She started fighting in the Games in the hopes of earning the money and finding a pilot willing to take the epic trip back home to reunite with what remains of her family, but was shocked to find Jackson alive and living a new life. Now that Anita and Jackson are reunited in the Games, she plans to work through her relationship with her estranged brother and support her new chosen family–the Legends. |

Trivia
- Bangalore's abilities came from the gameplay need to have a character who could help their team advance on enemies through large open areas. The name 'Bangalore' comes from the Bangalore torpedo, as well as from the city in India, since Indian troops in World War I made use of creeping barrages to cross no man's land.[2]
- Former Senior Game Designer Daniel Klein considers Bangalore to be the bar for what a balanced, healthy character should look like.[3]
- If Bangalore reloads while simultaneously launching a smoke canister, the weapon's magazine will load by itself. Before being patched out, a third arm used to come into view.
- Bangalore's Heirloom closely resembles that of a Khukuri knife, the choice weapon of Nepalese and South Asian soldiers known as Gurkhas.
