Kaid's loadout and gadget

Three Electroclaws that electrify reinforced walls AND hatches in a wider range than Bandit batteries. Easier to deploy on hatches.

Ubisoft's Kaid page has the current loadout; SiegeGG's Kaid stats track pro picks.

Kaid's strengths

• Wider Electroclaw range than Bandit batteries (covers 2 walls if positioned right).
• Electrifies hatches AND walls.
• 3-armor for tankiness.
• TCSG12 is a strong shotgun.

Who counters Kaid?

Operators that counter Kaid:

• Thatcher (EMP clears Electroclaws).
• Twitch (drone darts destroy them).
• Maverick (silent breach bypasses).

Playing against Kaid

On attack: same as Bandit — bring Thatcher. Kaid's wider range means EMPs need to be placed precisely. Twitch drone darts destroy individual Electroclaws if Thatcher EMPs are limited.

Climbing ranked with Kaid

Use Kaid on maps with multiple electrification needs — Bank (CEO + Tellers walls), Coastline (Hookah + Theater), Clubhouse (Cash + Stock). His wider range covers more positions per Electroclaw than Bandit per battery.
