[Merc] Electro

(sagaciousRate) #1

Electro was a soldier in Afghanistan trained to send a pulse to c4 to temporarily disable them to allow for the c4 to be defused without it blowing up as fast, He was discharged after he electrocuted his squad on purpose and soon became a merc for hire with no work he moved to London and helped other mercs with their objectives.

Primary Ability: The electrogun
Electro can pull this gun out and fire a jolt of electricity at his enemy and severely cripple them or he can hit a c4 with it and delay it for 10 to 15 seconds (30 Second cooldown per use)

Secondary Ability: Ammo Bags
Electro can throw down Ammo Bags for his team mates so they have plently of ammo to unload upon their enemies

Load outs Favor:
Assault Rifles
Pistols
Melee

What is a soul? It’s like electricity - we don’t really know what it is, but it’s a force that can light a room.

If it weren’t for electricity, we’d all be watching television by candlelight.

Price: 50000-75000. 5.00$

Side Note: This is more as a new ability that could open a new branch as to i have had many runs in the past where the c4 is right near the end and i cannot defuse it this class would work well with engineers because it could stop the counter for 10 to 15 seconds while they disarm it which could mean a match. This merc if it were to be 75000 it would unlock a new branch of expensive mercs to hire and would make it much harder to achieve him

15 second delay? That means just 2 Electros can delay the C4 a staggering 30 seconds. If that’s the case, attacking Electros better be able to remove added time.

umm…isnt this “electrogun” basically spark’s REVIVR with its rezzing ability swapped for c4 delay?

also, i’d rather “slow down speed of countdown from 1 unit of time per second to 0.5 units of time per second” - basically meaning it takes 2 seconds for the bomb to count 1 second - for a short period of time, more or less dumping 5 seconds or so onto it. seems more realistic than a jolt of electricity tricking a countdown mechanism for a block of explosives to add 15 seconds onto the clock(or stop it for counting down for that duration?).
skipping the obvious other possibility that is the bomb exploding prematurely due to the electric jolt.

“Severely cripple” enemies struck by the lightning? Does it just slow them down or actually deals damage?

So, 4 Electros on a team could in theory keep the C4 from ever exploding, doesn’t seem very balanced to me.

@sentimentalDime id be fun to watch tho

I think this is a cool idea of the electro gun is more of a shotgun, and turns C4 slower like @TheRyderShotgun suggested. And of course it couldn’t be stacked. This makes electro not essential, but very useful on close matches. and also what are the effects of being hit by the gun specifically?
