Merc: Charlie (Covert Ops)

(Gratrunka) #1

Name: Charlie
Type: Covert Ops/Disguise
Speed: Fast

Charlie would start with MiniMG, Pistol, and knife. His only useable would be a smoke bomb. Once he kills an enemy merc he can lean over the body and steal it’s uniform (similar speed as revive). He then looks like a member of the opposite team. His team would still see him as blue, but the enemies would also. The enemy team would be able to damage him, but first they would have to notice that he’s a member of the opposite team either by damaging him or noticing there are two people with the same name. The stolen uniform would last 1 minute or until Charlie is killed.

Example:

Charlie kills a player named Touchdown and drops a smoke bomb. Charlie leans over and steals the uniform. Charlie then looks like Touchdown to the enemy team, but to his team he still appears as Charlie. The enemy team would be tipped off if they saw two players named Touchdown or when Charlie attacked them. Electronic devices would also be fooled by this… Charlie would not trigger enemy turrets or mines while wearing a stolen uniform, but would still take damage from them if they did go off.

so its pretty much like the spy’s ability in team fortress 2 right? well i can’t say that this ability is op or anything, and can you be more specific about the weapon choices for this merc. for example: primaries - tolen mp, empire 9 (just to name a few), Secondaries - caulden, selbstadt and etc. melee - beckhill combat knife, cricket bat and etc. I also have a few questions about the abilities, first off does this merc take time for him to steal the uniform? if so how long does it take? whats it cooldown? Can recon devices such as vasili’s sensor, aimee’s snitch can detect you as a enemy for the other team? What’s the duration of the smoke grenade? whats its radius? again whats its cooldown? Also you haven’t mentioned his hp and his speed (well you did mention about his speed but you have to be more specific), cause we dont want this guy to be a proxy bunny hopping around the entire map and yet we dont want him to be a tank like rhino. Now overall i dont really mind this merc, he’s not necessarily op and he actually stands a good chance at flanking and getting behind enemy lines. Also i really am looking forward to hearing from you and answering my quesitons i had about this merc. well get typing! if you want any tips feel free to message me or take a look at other merc submissions to get an idea on how to make merc ideas.

so his primaries will be machine pistols ? i feel like this is a big problem considering he is according to you he is supposed to flank the enemies and shoot them in the back

also the speed of a revive on non medic mercs is 5 seconds and he needs to interact with the corpse of an enemy who probably died in the open which leaves vulnerable for very long and also visible to the enemy team (a smoke grenade only makes it obvious that it’s either him trying to disguise or a redeye which both are priority targets)

overall phantom does everything Charlie does but in better, he can instantly go invisible has very good weapons too shoot the enemy with and can disable mines and health stations while Charlie’s disguise is going to be very obvious and even if he manages to get behind the enemy team he only has a machine pistol which is weak as hell and he can’t disable a health station
