okay, so I am 99% sure these will NEVER be mercs, but it is interesting.
Let’s look back to closed alpha. When the game was still called extraction. There was a lot of concept art, and damn, has the game evolved. Here is 2.
This one is interesting. On the left we see what looks like a cloaker, but he has the same look as our Vassilie. There is a high chance this could be the first concept for him, but it is interesting to see that 1/2 his body sinks into the background. Kinda like an old pal we all love…
Next we have a guy with all heavy armor, and NICE very NICE scarf, and a helmet. He could be another fagger clone… hes kinda lame.
Next on the right we have a guy with a skull ski mask. He is also lame, but also looks like the guys in Gears of War. He could easily have an ability to melee with this gun, or have access to a chainsaw. That would be kinda cool.
Next and MOST interesting, is this thug looking guy. He looks like he could be a DPS class, until you notice he has a medical cross in his chest. What he could be, idk…
Last we have what you would think looks like an early proxie, but, she also has goggles. Course, probably proxie, or, a RedEye like merc.
Okay, then we have…
Fragger, Proxie, and Vassilie.
But then we also see a dude how looks like Chester Bennington (Linkin Park)

He has Ski goggles, BUT also VERY VERY heavy armor. Almost has heavy as Rhino. He could easily be a lower tier Rhino. More HP, less DPS.
Anyways, this is again, probably NEVER going to enter the game, as it is all concept art, and most of them are probably concepts for classes already in the game. So don’t point it out.
