SentinelThe genius of Germany, Killjoy effortlessly secures key battlefield positions with her arsenal of inventions. If their damage doesn't take her enemies out, the debuff her robots provide will make short work of them.
CEQUIP a Nanoswarm grenade. FIRE to throw the grenade. Upon landing, the Nanoswarm goes covert. ALT FIRE to lob. ACTIVATE the Nanoswarm to deploy a damaging swarm of nanobots.
Bought with credits at the start of a round, and lost when you die.

Charged by ultimate orbs, kills, deaths and planting or defusing the spike.
Sentinels hold ground. Their kits watch flanks, lock down a site and buy the time the rest of the team needs to rotate.
Sentinels are defensive experts who can lock down areas and watch flanks, both on attacker and defender rounds.
Two of Killjoy’s abilities are bought with credits each round and lost on death. TURRET is the signature ability, so it’s free every round. Lockdown is the ultimate and can’t be bought at all — it charges through play.
Killjoy is a Sentinel. Sentinels hold ground. Their kits watch flanks, lock down a site and buy the time the rest of the team needs to rotate.
Killjoy's ultimate is Lockdown, bound to X. EQUIP the Lockdown device. FIRE to deploy the device. After a long windup, the device Detains all enemies caught in the radius. The device can be destroyed by enemies. Like every ultimate it charges from orbs, kills, deaths and spike plants or defuses rather than being bought.
TURRET, bound to E. EQUIP a Turret. FIRE to deploy a turret that fires at enemies in a 100 degree cone. While targeting, EQUIP again to swap turret direction, HOLD ALT FIRE to rotate. HOLD EQUIP to recall the deployed turret.
Killjoy has 4 abilities in total: Nanoswarm, ALARMBOT, TURRET, Lockdown.
Riot builds each agent under an internal codename before the character exists — Killjoy was developed as “Killjoy”. The codenames survive in the game files long after release.
Killjoy has 4 usable abilities per round. Two are bought with credits and lost on death, which means an eco round genuinely changes what Killjoy can do — not just what gun you hold.
The habit that separates good sentinels from bad ones is spending abilities rather than saving them. They don’t carry over between rounds, so an unused ability at the end of a round is credits you set on fire.
