Out of Bounds is a passive Ability tied to a high-tier unlockable Skill. It allows the Trooper to deploy with no Deployment cost, essentially making room for one more trooper to be fielded. Additionally, they do not count towards deployed troops, and so do not affect the maximum of 20 grunts fielded at time, able to join on top of that amount. However, the cost stays the same if the trooper is deployed manning a Vehicle.
The skill can be used to outnumber your opponent or to counter Spies taking up one of your Deployment slots. It can be considered cheap as it doesn't use an Equipment slot, and can replace a Scout in his task, giving you another choice during one of later Level 6 Specializations.
However, given the ever growing upgrade costs, it would make sense taking something improving actual productivity instead of numbers.
Spy Issue
If a Spy is given Out of Bounds and succeeds in deploying on the enemy's side, this Spy won't cost any Deployment points to the enemy.
