If this happens, nothing annoys them more than shooting the jammer before it hits the ground and making it explode in their faces. This is also useful in the campaign against Brutes.

Have one player throw in the Radar Jammer, then throw in the Flare while looking at the Flag so you know what way to go. By the time your opponents can see again, they will notice their flag is gone.

This is not completely true, as instead of an instant effect upon those within range, the Jammer creates "Ghosts" which fly around randomly, altering only the motion-trackers of those players within range. The effect moves with the Jammer, as witnessed by the position of the ''Ghosts'' relative to the Jammer. This is most noticeable on either [[Valhalla]] or [[Narrows]], where by throwing the Radar Jammer into one of the [[Man Cannons]], the ''Ghosts'' appear to fly in the same direction it was launched. | ||
