Cabot
Cabot is the leader of your ragtag gang of hunters in Evolve. He also happens to wield one of the most useful, in my opinion, loadouts in the game. Armed with a Rail Cannon, Damage Amplifier, and the Radioactive Dust Tagging ability, Cabot is arguably the most powerful Support hunter available right now.
With the Rail Cannon, Cabot can shoot through anything. If there are any obstacles in his line of sight, the shot splits into a cone, damaging anything that falls within it. With a clear shot, the Rail Cannon can deal a large amount of damage to the monster. This weapon is effective at both close and long range, though you’ll want to be careful when aiming your shots. The Rail Cannon takes some time to reload and this could give the monster a good opening to attack if you happen to miss.
The Damage Amplifier is an invaluable buff for your party as it doubles the damage dealt to the monster by their weapons. All you have to do is aim the Damage Amplifier at the monster and it’ll start taking twice as much damage as it normally does. What makes this weapon so useful is that you can use it from a distance, keeping you safe from the devastating attacks of whatever monster you’re up against in that round.
The next trick that Cabot has up his sleeve is the Radioactive Dust Tagging ability. When you activate it, you’ll highlight every living thing in the area for a period of 20 seconds. If you suspect that the monster might be close by, release a burst of dust to confirm your suspicions. Much like Bucket’s UAV ability, the Dust Tagging allows you to scout out the monster’s position and highlight it to the rest of your party.
