Hydra/Morty, The CLOSE range Fire Support.

(Reddeadcap) #1

I have very few ideas for the mercs appearance, personality or country of origin.

Appearance wise maybe they would wear some rather modern/[url=“https://mariakonovalenko.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/robot-suit.jpg”]hightech looking exoskeleton to support his/her special ability item, a [url=“https://youtu.be/9nOkO8Sh2xs?t=31s”]shoulder fired mortar, also making them understandably a bit more protected and slower than Arty/Skyhammer/Phanto when it comes to health, say 130.

The Hydra Mortar
The Hydra Mortar, in which the merc would get their name serves as an interesting bombardment tool and would be seen faster cooldown version of Skyhammer’s airstrike, and a more indirect version of Arty’s Artillery strike, the player launchers a shell at an upward angle, the longer its flight time the more bomblettes would break apart from it, dealing moderate damage but in a tight area, not as small as Arty, but not as wide as Skyhammer, when the mortar is fired at a close range or bellow 3 seconds flight time, the bomb falls and waits as timed grenade, ominously hissing before detonation.

Weaponry, The Jack of all trades.
While Arty and Kira are more focused on long range rifles and Skyhammer on close range rifles, I was thinking why not give this merc weapons dedicated to each role heavily, so they would use the Dreiss, BR-16 and the Timik.

What would this Merc be best at?
Their mortar would really cover a middle ground between Arty and Skyhammer, weapon wise they would really fit either too much of one area; the long range Dreiss. Too much of another, the close range Timik, or a solid middle ground, the BR-16.

@Redcap It seems interestign but what would be the Stats and that?

@astoundingShellfish
If you mean by the mortar itself.
I guess the main bomb would do around 100 and each bomblette would do 50, split into 3-6 bomblettes based on flight time, with 2 shots on a longer cooldown than Arty.

As for the character 10 more health than Arty/Skyhammer and the likes but 10 slower, a collection of rifles covering both long range, close range and a middle ground and maybe machine pistols as a secondary.
