What players have figured out
A deep-shot specialist with the thinnest evidence trail of any X-Factor here — no carrier to study, and forums lean on broader separation abilities instead.Only fires on aggressive shots roughly 50 to 55-plus yards downfield
Sources disagree on the exact cutoff between 50 and 55 yards, so treat it as a range rather than a fixed number — it does not apply to shorter aggressive catches or contested grabs closer to the line.
The window closes on downs played, not on a stat threshold
It deactivates simply as downs go by once lit, meaning it is a short, use-it-now window rather than something to save for later in the drive.
There is no carrier to test it against
MUT.GG lists it without a live real-player card, unlike Bazooka, Unstoppable Force and Wrecking Ball, which all have confirmed carriers — so there is no usage to point at as a reference case, and everything below is read off the ability rather than off play.
Broader receiver threads favor separation abilities first
Forum discussion of receiver abilities generally prefers RAC 'Em Up over YAC 'Em Up for separation against press and man coverage — Mossed complements that as the occasional big-shot piece, not a per-play tool.
A defensive Momentum Shift can shut it off before it fires
Opponents running that ability can wipe offensive zone progress, cutting a receiver out of the zone before the deep shot the ability depends on ever happens.
What else touches this.
Every ability writes a set of gameplay effects. These are the abilities whose sets meet this one's.Identical effects to Max SecurityMossed modifies the same 12 gameplay effects as Max Security. They differ only in when they fire, so the choice between them is situational.
These abilities modify exactly the same 12 gameplay effects as Mossed — not a similar set, the same one. What separates them is the situation each one's own description names.
