Ability
Abilities are unique traits given to each mech and differ accordingly. Every mech gets an ability, although not all of them are specific to a mech. Some abilities last for a duration (eg camouflage) or have an instantaneous effect (eg weapons coolant). After use, the mechs ability will enter a "cooldown" phase where you cannot use it (excluding Mobile and Fortified Turret). The cooldown varies depending on the ability.

[edit] Camouflage
Makes you invisible and removes you from radar for 6-8 seconds (depending on level) or until any weapons or items are used. Turns player nearly invisible. Lasts for 8 seconds. Cooldown of 60 seconds.
Works really well for retreating, however firing a weapon or using an item will cancel your camouflage. You can use camouflage to sneak up on enemies with a fully charged heat cannon and secondary weapon. Works really well when enemies are oblivious to your location. Camouflage becomes useless if you are "spotted" by an enemy (HUD highlights your mech with a red outline). The red outline of your mech still remains on your enemies HUD if you go into camouflage mode while still spotted Your reticule will still highlight if you're aiming at someone who's camouflaged.
