The Magnetic Repulsor is a warfare device. It pushes the target towards the aim direction, making them take at least 100% increased collision damage for at least 5s with a 24s or shorter cooldown. This device can store at least 2 charges and has an activation range of 400m by default.
- Magnetic Repulsor cannot be used on locked targets which are more than 2 levels higher than the player.

Tips and tricks[ | ]
- Magnetic Repulsor can be used to push away Outlaw Detonator Drones in a pinch, buying more time to shoot them down from a safe distance.
- Though Magnetic Repulsor cannot directly target stationary enemies, heavy fighters (e.g. Outlaw Bombers) or capital ships, these targets will still take damage if other targets are pushed into them.
- Strikers are particularly well-suited for exploiting Magnetic Repulsor's collision damage bonus and push-stun effect by ramming pushed targets after they have bounced off terrain.
- Using the Magnetic Repulsor to smash an EMP'd enemy to death awards the "Stasis Smash" achievement.
