Strategy

Strengths

The Data Reshaper is an effective counter to opponents using defensive gadgets such as the Guardian Turret and the Gas Mine. The Data Reshaper can instantly transform multiple gadgets into a harmless object.
- For example, if there are two turrets in a room, the two charges of the Data Reshaper will quickly deal with them both. If there are mines planted on or around a Cashout Station, a Data Reshaper usage aimed at the station will take out every nearby mine at once.

Weaknesses

The Data Reshaper cannot create a Glitch Barrel, which is often one of the most versatile barrels. It is unknown whether this is a bug.

Tactics

Weapons that would normally have trouble taking out a Guardian Turret such as the Model 1887 or the Riot Shield can be complemented by the Data Reshaper.
It is possible for no barrels to be present in a round. The Data Reshaper can be used to transform several decor pieces into barrels.
