The Sapper is the stock PDA weapon for the Agent. It is a smartphone that saps a building which disables their function and rapidly deals 2 damage per 0.8 seconds.
If a building is sapped, it gives the building a +33% damage resistance from the Agent who applied it to give Mechanics a chance to fight back. Despite this, shooting at the sapped building with the Revolver is a more efficient method as it destroys the building more quickly.
The sapper can be removed from a building if a Mechanic hits the building that is being sapped with their wrench two times (three if they are using the P.D.Q or one with the Southern Hospitality). Arsonists can also remove the sapper if they are wielding the Homewrecker, where it only takes one swing to remove a sapper.
