CC Effects Explained
Battleborn CC Status Effects

Status effects are temporary modifications to the characters in the game that alter various conditions of the character’s original set of stats. These modifications can eider be an advantage to the character by providing increased health, shield, speed, etc. or hinder the character by deceasing these properties on the character’s stats. Status Effects come into play when heroes or enemies use special powers or abilities. Another way to encounter status effects are by collecting orbs in the story mode, these pickups provide the player with a small boost to aid them in their quest.

What does CC stand for ?

A common gear related question in Battleborn is: “what is cc?” Well on the Battleborn Gear you can find CC Stats, this stands for Crowd Control. These are the status effects shown below.

Status Effects:

Blind

The Blind status effect temporary obstructs the field of view of the character. As to black bars will crush your vision, leaving just a tiny crack to gaze through. This makes navigation a lot harder and hitting a target almost impossible. Blind does not affect the character in their movement or abilities. Heroes like Benedict could use their skill “Lift Off’ to evade the situation at hand.
