The Translocator was introduced in Unreal Tournament to complement the Tournament's new Capture the Flag gametype. It functions as a weapon, a defensive device and a mode of movement.

The Translocator consists of two parts, the Translocator itself (sometimes called the "source module") and a destination module. Launch the destination module with the primary fire button, then press the secondary fire button to instantly teleport to the spot where the destination module landed. If you throw the destination module close enough to an enemy and then teleport there, you can "telefrag" your opponent, killing him and getting his weapon. This equires some skill to accomplish, especially in UT2003 and UT2004, but it is extremely gratifying to pull off and results in an instant kill. In Capture the Flag games, translocating while holding the flag will cause you to drop the flag.

If you press your primary fire button while activating your translocator with secondary fire, the last weapon you had selected will automatically return once you have translocated.

The Translocator was originally designed by Liandri Corporation’s R&D sector to facilitate the rapid recall of miners during tunnel collapses and other emergencies. The technology has saved countless lives, but not without cost. Rapid deresolution and reconstitution of the subject organism can have several unwelcome effects, including increases in aggression and paranoia, as well as increased probabilities of respiratory and cardiac arrest. Artifacts of synaptic disruption accumulate in the biological snapshot of the individual, leading to Teleportation Related Dementia (TReDs), an incurable disease that has stricken some of our greatest champions. In order to prolong the careers of today’s contenders, limits have been placed on Translocator use in the lower-ranked leagues. This was deemed necessary to prevent new recruits from becoming too reliant on the device, thereby sealing their own doom. The latest iteration of the Translocator features a remotely operated camera, exceptionally useful when scouting out areas of contention. It should be noted that while viewing the camera’s surveillance output, the user is effectively blind to his immediate surroundings.
