Items / A.S.S. / Drone abilities – NINE TO FIVE | Support

When you choose an armor set it determines what items you can use with it and how many Auto-Support Systems (A.S.S.) you can apply. For example, the "Smart Casual" armor set from the Starter Pack allows you to use Special Ops Grenades and Lethal Grenades item types, more to that you can apply 2 Auto-Support Systems. On the other hand, Level IIIA ML2 Body armor set allows you to use Health and Safety & Lethal Grenades, but you can apply only 1 A.S.S.

Below you can find descriptions of all the items and Auto-Support Systems available. At the end there are also 3 abilities you can choose for your drone.

Note: There are always 3 item slots available, but not every Loadout allows you to wear 3 items. The slots remain open as they also serve as an option to bind items to certain keys. Players tend to have preferable key binds for certain items, e.g. Grenades always on "V". You can always check how many items your armor set provides by hovering on it (X types of items = X items available to use).

Important: Some of the items listed below are not available from the start, as the 3 beginner armor sets don’t contain Field Engineering and Team Protection item types. Don’t worry though, after a few matches you’ll be able to purchase them in the Marketplace.
