Binoculars is unlockable equipment which can be used in one of three equipment slots available per Trooper. Upon use it forces the enemy to deploy one trooper immediately with -400 Initiative, essentially making him a sitting duck to shoot.
This item's effect is twice as small, comparing to Glue Grenade (-400 IP), and has no Area of Effect. However, it can be used more than once and can make life easier while facing smaller waves of enemies, or with explosives at you disposal. Just make sure you've got enough materiel to face bigger amounts of hostile dummies without losing combat effectiveness, as an extra target can draw a portion of your grunts' attention. Or alternatively, lacking armaments you can waste the moment not being able to respond adequately, seeing a newly deployed trooper recovering and joining combat as a result of long wait.
