Lake Artifact:

Lake gives you three powers: the ability to grab objects and players with the beamer; mines instead of grenades; and regeneration while in water.

How to use

Besides being able to grab ordinary objects with the beamer, there are two special cases worth mentioning. First of all, you can grab the enemy flag - depending on the map, you may be able to steal the flag right out from under the noses of the defense without exposing yourself to enemy fire. Second of all, if you beam the enemy flag carrier you can steal back your own flag. If the enemy flag carrier is tough to kill, this is an excellent alternative.

Mines are similar to grenades, except that they don't explode until touched by an enemy. You can have up to 10 mines deployed at one time. Deploying additional mines beyond 10 causes the first ones to be destroyed. Mines are especially effective in dark places or around corners where enemies don't have a clear line of sight.

Some maps (for example, Real_NotSoForgotten) have strategic areas with water. Lake can camp out in these areas without having to roam, because of the water regeneration feature. Pull enemies into the water with the beamer to fight on your own turf.

How to fight

If you're carrying the enemy flag and you see someone coming after you with Lake, don't let them touch you with
the beamer. Smack them down quick or run away, and dodge like crazy so Lake can't get a bead on you with
the beamer.

To avoid mines, just pay attention and don't run anywhere without looking first. In enclosed areas, beam up and travel along the ceiling.
