Deployable cover mercenary.

(Talak) #1

Who is the mercenary in the trailer that drops down deployable cover for Nader and himself? That’s a merc I really want to play. Being able to set up cover in open areas, protect yourself and other players while they arm/disarm/repair objectives.

I wonder how strong it will be… It sounds like 2-3 per team would be such a nightmare.

There should be a limit to how many duplicate mercenaries can be on one team. Ever since rhino has been in the free rotation, I’ve been seeing anywhere between 2 to 6 rhinos.

I think that’s Turtle.

Until you drop a grenade behind it and kill everyone.

It is turtle as stated above, but apparently he wasn’t playable in closed beta, the only merc to have never been released. Ever. So I hear.

Can’t wait for him, definitely a tactical choice for people trying to defuse/plant bombs or cover sniping spots unless they start using grenades of course :smile:

Doesn’t seem that fun to be honest. It all depends on his secondary ability.

If it’s something like Objective Specialist, he’s suddenly insanely strong. If it’s something like ammo packs, he’s still useful but significantly less so.

He’s an engineer afaik so he’ll have Objective Specialist.
