Circuit Breaker

The circuit breaker is a toggleable object inside the map that can be used by either Attackers or Defenders to toggle the power on and off, which has immediate effects on many objects inside the level.

Effects

 * Disables lights throughout the level. Some objects still render light even after the power is off.
 * Moving automatic doors stop functioning.
 * Buttons and toggleable gates such as loading bay doors in factory or shutters in C-Store no longer work.
 * Certain environmental sounds stop occurring, such as freezers humming or music in the level.
 * Emergency Lights turn on after a short duration of the power being off, which can flood the level with some poor illumination.

Strategy
A key component of the Circuit Breaker mechanic is that the sudden turning off of lights can cause massive disorientation and can easily break up defender strategies. Attacker weapons come equipped with flash lights and they also have access to Night Vision Goggles which give them a definite advantage in the dark. However, defenders can optionally take flares into the level with them which can provide some emergency lighting. Sometimes even the defenders would like to turn the power off, in cases where they may want to stop certain electrical devices from working, where they plan to use flares or if they have access to NVGs.
